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.

Know the basics and that will suffice

Learning Point No 338




There is more to life than what we know. There is more to religions than what they are. There is more to God and saints than what are made known to us. 

What we know are like the leaves in the hand and what we don't know are like the leaves in the forest. But it is better to know what are in our hand than to know all the rest. We need only to know the basics that will suffice. 

This the lord saint Lord Bo Tien refer to as the inner truth behind religions and sects. 

The truth is there is God or Divinity and that God is compassionate enough to be open minded and to have more than one way or religion to reach out to all beings, not just men. 

There are no chosen ones and there will be more than one prophet or heavenly saint. This is the will of Divinity.

All the ways of sects and religions, of all saints and prophets revolve around the same understanding of the true nature of life - not to deny being human and not to go overboard but to find the balance. 

The values of spiritual if applied to mundane life will ensure basic adequacy and comfort enough to promote spiritual rapture with Divinity. 

No need to deny or indulge in the mundane. Just have enough of the mundane to make it in life and at same time be springboard to pursue the lofty divine aspirations

Know the basics and that will suffice. Isn't that simple but for many, they expect more and instead in converging on the basics, they diverge, are lost and do not know how to get back to basics. 

They literally think they need to be a doctorate of philosophy before they can serve God and be with God. 

The reality is that we do not need to go beyond the basics to serve God and be with God. We don't need even to have a religion but religions do serve their purpose. 

We don't even need to worship and adore any saint but we should respect all heavenly saints under God. Adoring more than one prophet or saint is alright but insisting that all go to God through one and only one saint is unbelievable. 

No saint or prophet would ever say so. Only men may say so and that is because men are men after all. Men can be jealous and overzealous but not God and saints. 

Well, to be simply more convergent and to surmise,  the wake-up call is for all to know the basics and that will suffice. Be simple and be pure. What else can be better and more effective?
