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.

Twilight glow or gloom is up to us.

Learning Point No 269





When men reach their twilight years, the best they can have is the peace of life and they view worldly matters differently from before. They are more macroscopic than microscopic in approach. In a way and on the balance of things, they would have done well enough to deserve the twilight of life. Many others who were less fortunate had their lives snubbed off before twilight.

The twilight years often cast a yellow glow often either gloomy yellow, sort of dirty yellow or jaundice, to the many who do not grow the divine light in them, or a resplendent glow of gold to those who have and who can bask in the golden years.

The latter must however continue to grow and glow the golden wisdom to be ever closer to a better life to come. The wisdom has to do with insight that the best of life and nature is still not perfect compared to that in Heaven, and this provides the platform for the awakening to the eternal beauty of God and saints in life.

Twilight glow or gloom is up to us. The glow that we can nurture in life is a spiritual one and this is more so in twilight years.

The opening paragraph of the 1983 message of Lord Bo Tien is worth reflecting on. "The saint said that human beings did not create Heaven. Take a flower, it can  be beautiful on the exterior. However, the internal parts of the flower may not be beautiful. Hence Nature's creations such as this flower are not perfect. What is created by nature is also not static and changes could take place." Historical version of the 1983 message of Lord Bo Tien ...
