The Living Life Series is dedicated to Lord (武天) Bo Tien. The doctrine is in His image. The image is the doctrine. He who sees, understands and effects the doctrine sees and knows Him. He who does not see, know and effect the doctrine sees not and knows not the saint even if the saint or His image is beside him. The far may be near and the near may be far. Let the doctrine and the saint be part of our life. The lord saint in your life can be any heavenly saint of any religion, sect or school. The doctrine of truth is behind all and this is the Inner Truth that leads all (regardless of their religious affliliation or even if none) to inner peace and heaven on earth here and now and not just in the after life. The ideal worship and devotion is to know and effect the doctrine of God and the saints. The best gospel is the gospel of life. We learn from our life and the lives of others. The true temple is the world we live in. The sky is the roof of the temple and religions and sects are the pillars of the temple. All under Heaven are in the temple. The whole wide world and web is the temple and must be regarded as a sacred place --- a temple for living and learning. It is more important that everyone that counts plays a role in this universal temple if due focus is to be given to the Mission of Heaven. Men must not be distracted by the agenda of men and end up serving the mission of man. That would be a far cry from the Mission of Heaven.

What need you to care with regards to care?

Learning Point No 263





Do take care of yourself but not at expense of others. In furthering your own ends, please do not end up not only being uncaring towards others but also harming them.
 
At the other extreme, taking care of others to point of neglecting or not caring for yourself is not good and in a way counterproductive and a denial of your own life interests.
 
There is need for wisdom to find that balance and to ensure that goodness prevail in all aspects.
 
Otherwise, the more ignorant too can help others but the difference is that they lack wisdom and may end up being manipulated by others, or worse still end up fanning the negative characteristics of others.
 
There is need for purity as well as wisdom. Do not give up on others especially a close one just because he or she is a liability and no more an advantage to you.
 
Create an advantageous social and life milieu for him or her so that he or she has less or better still no handicap, so that he or she can have more of life, move on in life and be happy.
 
But to do so you must take care of yourself and improve your lot, your resources and capacity** to care not only for yourself but for others,* more so your close ones.
 
These are all you need to care with regards to care. The sages of old said that only then will there be peace in life. There is then what they refer to as yin and yang balance that not only lead to peace in life but to the divine peace of spirit and ultimate enlightenment. 


 
 
 
 
 *The others cannot be everyone but only those who have affinity and proximity with you.

**One bad habit to avoid is sluggishness what Buddha referred to as sloth and torpor
