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.

Blame not God and Satan for our failings in life

Learning Point No 303




When men fail to be good, they blame Satan or Mara for their failings. 

When men fail to get what they set out to have, they too may blame God and saints for their failures in life. 


God and saints


When will men learn to take responsibility and not push ownership of failings to others. It is sheer audacity that men can even think of pushing blame for their failings to God and Satan. 




Who is the greater Satan, man or Lucifer? Lucifer may be a fallen angel but surely the evil in man may at times be worse than Lucifer himself.




Depiction of Mara

In Buddhist version, there is Mara. If all the wrong doings are due to Mara, then Mara and not man must reap the consequences of their wrong actions. 

If wrong or sin  is due to the work of Satan, then surely God must take Satan to task and not men. Surely God is not like that and will even love to see Satan turn good and return to his fold. After all, Satan is said to be none other than Lucifer - God's fallen angel.

Who is playing God? Is it God or man himself? God knows even if men chose not to know. When men cannot make it, they blame God for not being with them. When men can make it, they may not even praise God for they will think it is because they are good and capable.

So dear fellow men, do not blame God and Satan for our failings in life. Take ownership of life and seek the shelter of God and saints. 

Lord Bo Tien


Lord Bo Tien said that if a candle flame of life in a man is sheltered by the saint, it will grow and glow even brighter. We should nurture the Buddha or God light or nature somewhat inherent in us

He also reiterated that we should learn from the weaknesses of men, not to ridicule them but to make sure we do not make the same mistakes.

Blame not others for our failings and problems in life. Blame not God and Satan for failings in life. Take ownership of life and seek shelter of God and saints. Issues if small will be no issues. Big issues will become small issues even if they cannot be no issue. 

God helps those who help themselves. The lord saint Lord Bo Tien did say however that there is element of fate due to past lives but all is not lost. Issues big or small will be no problem if saints like Ji Gong have their way. 


Ji Gong

We must continue to cultivate the Godliness in our hearts and be true to our hearts in whatever we do. We should not put up a show but remain rotten in our hearts. 

Ji Gong says that what matters is the heart and not what goes through the gut. This includes what we do outwardly. We should not put up a false front and over portray our goodness. It is the heart that matters. It is what we are at heart that matters. It is our true self that counts.
