Living Life Series 2: Go for the inner truth and not the practices

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.

Go for the inner truth and not the practices

Learning Point No 301

Ji Gong advises us to go direct to the inner truth and not the ways of men in name of conventional religious institutions, practices and traditions.

He said that what matters is what goes through the heart and not what goes through the guts.

Do not pander to the many whims and fancies of the problem prone folks, He said. Let God be in our heart. Be God-centric and not Man-centric. You will have more peace that way.

Go for the inner truth behind religions. Worship God and saints but not men. Man is man and God is God. Let your heart be in God more than in men if you want peace. This too did Lord Bo Tien say.

We must know that all religions are one in God and saints though they differ in practices and ways.

The differences are man made and to appeal to more men but what is important is to go to the inner truth of oneness of God. We must not be lost in the forest of practices and religions of men.

Ji Gong heck care what he did or ate and what people thought of him. It mattered not if men are pleased or displeased with him.

What is important is that he is true to God and Godly ways. This must be from the heart. All things will then fall in place.

Would a saint look like that but Ji Gong showed
the world that it is the heart that counts.
It is what is inside that counts (the inner truth)
and not the outward show or appearance.
Go for the inner truth and not the practices

NOTEWORTHY INFORMATION

A number of the pointers given by Lord Bo Tien in his messages were somehow edited out in the year 2000 publication LORD BO TIEN'S GUIDANCE as they were deemed inappropriate, either deemed not correct or not unnderstandable because the grasp and understanding years ago were lacking. Thank Heaven that the historical versions were saved by the late Senior Brother Chong Sim in his draft book My Interpretation of LORD BO TIEN MESSAGES. He obtained nine years of the messages from Brother Peter Kong. Brother Peter Kong had done a great meritorious deed in handling the historical translated scripts of the messages to Chong Sim. The historical versions can be read at Bo Tien Temple Outreach at http://www.livinglifeseries5.blogspot.com/
