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.

Who needs man to reach God and saints?

Learning Point No 311


Who needs man to reach God and saints? Yes man think they do and they end up idolising another man who profess to be the mouth piece of God and saints. See not the God in man for that will lead to cult and woes. 

But we should not see the man in God and think that since man can be jealous, God too can be jealous.  God is love and open minded. It would do injustice to think that he is a jealous God. There are jealous and narrow minded bigoted men but no jealous God and saints. 

We do not need man to reach God though man can introduce and share with us their testimonies on God and saints. God reaches out to man direct and we must respect this direct link with God and saints. There is the God and saint in every man which that man must grow. The relationship between God and man is personal and sacred. No man shall be the third party. 


God shelters the light of life in us so that it will grow and glow. Of course a collection of such men, like a collection of candle lights will better light up the way for others to see God and saints and light up the lives of others who are in darkness. 


This parable of the single candle flame sheltered by God and saints as well as parable of the collective group effect of candle flames are referred to by Lord Bo Tien in his 1975 anniversary or mission day message.


 In God's divine and inclusive plan, 
what is the role of Lord Bo Tien and who is he? 
Lord Bo Tien is the messenger of God
to invigorate that same inner truth
behind and common to all religions and sects
so that all will work in synergy
in their own distinctive ways
to bring more men to God
This is the will of God
It is also the will of God
that there be no new religion or sect
in the name of the lord saint and that
we know little of the lord saint other than
the doctrine mission he talks about
The one or two Bo Tien related temples
are only means to the end of the mission 
but not the end in themselves. 
The true temple is the universe 
with all religions as pillars 
and Heaven as the roof
