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.

Life is about love and love begins with self

Learning Point No 323



Love is the light of life. Life must begin with love, continue with love and end with love. You must love yourself before you can love others. God's love for you will be of no avail if you do not love yourself. Without love, there will be no inner peace and no way you can be in tune with the love and peace of God and saints. Life is about love and love begins with self. Religions revolve around love and there never should be any religious divide with regards to love.

 Here are some quotes:-


(1) "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." Romans: 13.9 King James Version - Bible 
Dalai Lama

 (2) "If you don't love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself, then you are not able of developing compassion for others." His Holiness The Dalai Lama 

(3) "The cultivation of spiritual light in life is like a candle flame. All beings must seek the profound truth behind life and nurture the divine light in them by cultivating loving kindness for life (not just primarily for their own life but for the life of others as well)." 
Lord Bo Tien

"Loving kindness is the source of divine hope and the very essence of God the Jade Emperor's will. It is the nature of the divine or holy spirit ('leng' in Hokkien)." 

 "This divine love for life is expounded by all religions and by all prophets, sages, saints and even contemporary world leaders in some form or other." Lord Bo Tien 1975 Mission Day Message 

The Buddha

 (4) "You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection." The Buddha
