Faith alone is not good enough. Being awed by a prophet, deity or saint is simply not the ideal.
Belief in good works is good but how good can it be if the goal is not spiritually aligned and motivated. In fact doing good is simply not good enough.
When we see the image of the lord saint, there must arise in us not only faith and belief in goodness but more importantly the doctrine of truth that the image depicts. Then there will be wisdom and insight that open the way to salvation.
The lord saint Lord Bo Tien said that he who knows the doctrine knows the lord saint and he who does not knows not the lord saint. Lord Bo Tien's 1980 Anniversary
