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.

Peace above all else

Learning Point No 342


It is not what we believe that is important and whether what we believe is true or not too is not critical to our salvation. 

It is not how much we know. In fact, knowing a little may not be a set back or disadvantage. 

Rather, what we believe must have positive impact on us, not only in next life but in the here and now. 

What we know however little this may be and even if it is not exactly true or correct may still be worthwhile so long as the little we know or that which we believe make the difference in our life. 

Are we better off? Are we at peace with life now? If we can be, then we may well stand the hope to be at peace in the life hereafter. 

There is no need to daydream or to dangle carrots of paradise in the life beyond. What is at issue is how we are now. Do we have the peace that the sages of old talked about? 

It is not who we worship and how many gods or saints we idolise. Rather, it is what we learn from them and the doctrine we gain from them. 

Do we live in the doctrine and are we at peace? So long as we can be at peace, even if we kowtow or prostate to no saint, we are alright. 

But no man can go it alone. Man needs shelter and help every now and then. Do be wary that man must not have crutch mentality and be disabled. 

Also, of what benefit is wealth, psychic abilities and power of any kind, if we are not at peace. 

 If we have arrived in life or think we are about to arrive, be it spiritual or otherwise, we must have that peace and on the path to more of the peace. 

Life, spiritual or otherwise, has to do with more peace - peace above all else. 

 How we are in the mundane world has to do with whether we are at peace. 

 At the spiritual level, how we save our souls or others souls has to do with peace in ourselves and in others. 

 Peace must be above all else.
