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.

The Tao (Way) of the spiritual wayfarer

Learning Point No 290





It is not nice to old and yet a long way off to being enlightened. No wonder many hold on to promise by Goddess Kuanyin, Amitabha and Jesus on devoted belief in them and be saved by belief to be in the heaven they promise. 

But some insight or awakening may still be needed to augment mere faith in posats and in meritorious life. Then they are poised on a better platform to cultivate the way of saints and be with God. 

Cultivation brings better peace of spirit here and now than mere belief and faith in saints. It is callled Tao or Way. It gives more confidence and a little taste of deliverance from the woes and ills of life. There is nothing like the taste of sugar to know what is sweetness. Don't wait till death knocks to know the sweetness of Tao or Heavenly bliss.  A little even if not half a loaf is better than no bread. Cheers. Omitofo.

Meditate that is reflect on  life, be mindful and go for moment to moment peace and fulfillment of spirit, even if lasting one is not in sight. Do not yearn for more or the lasting peace for that itself is the undoing of the spiritual wayfarer. Omitofo once again. 

Yin yang harmony or balance both in mundane and spiritual dimensions of life holds the key to more moments of peace that give the taste that is akin to but yet not equal to the enlightenment of saints. Neglect not the physical body and mundane life, for that will only bring on more problems and render life with no peace. At the other extreme, with too much of the mundane, peace will be remote or elusive.
