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.

Why not Bo Tien Netizen instead of Living Life Series?

Learning Point No 309




Why are the blog sites of inner truth netizen named Living Life Series and not Bo Tien Series or Bo Tien Netizen? 

It was originally named Bo Tien Netizen but objections from a Bo Tien related temple was taken into consideration. 

Moreover the name change is consistent with the direction by the lord saint that he is not starting  a new religion or sect. That he had started a few chinese cultural style temples are just his way to show that even in such cultural settings, there is the same truth that underlines all religions, sects and places of worship.  

It is also not necessary for one to be in a religion, sect or place of worship to grasp this truth which is referred originally as the Four Pillar Doctrine and later as Inner Truth doctrine. 

Readers will thus appreciate that the blog sites do not preferentially promote or favor any religion or sect and for that matter any saint or prophet. Thus inner truth netizen has written many articles or posts on saints other than Lord Bo Tien. Ji Gong is one of them. 

The bottom line is that the inner truth doctrine is elucidated further through the posts on the other saints. This is in keeping with the mission doctrine of the lord saint Lord Bo Tien. 

There will always be differences between saints, religions and sects but what matters is that there is the same Divinity and the same basic doctrine. Even for the same saint, sect or religion, men do see things differently because men will always be men. That is one reason why there will be many religions and sects. 

God appeals to the different inclinations of men through various saints, religions and sects. The purpose is to bring men to God in more ways than one. Men unfortunately may on occasions pit men against men in the name of God and religion. Men like it or not are still men after all. 

Thus men who adore Lord Bo Tien may criticise inner truth netizen for praising saints and prophets other than Lord Bo Tien. 

On hindsight, it is consistent with the doctrine mission of the lord saint to understand the doctrine even better through the other saints and religions. 

Hence, the blog sites should not be titled Bo Tien Netizen or Series but under the title of Living Life Series.
