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.

Knowing God by knowing the inner truth

Learning Point No 376


We must know God. We must know how to be good enough to be with God. We must know that doing good is not enough. Believing in God and his saints too is not good enough. 

We must know how to be like God and saints so as to have the peace of God in us, the peace that makes life pleasant even in unpleasant times and the peace within that ensures we are not carried away by indulgences of life. 

We do not indulge and be enslaved by indulgences of modern materialistic living. At the other extreme, we should not deny life and thereby self- mortify ourselves. 

These are the parameters of practice or cultivation that allow us to have peace within. They are the perspectives present in all religions and sects. 

But over the years, the basic teachings with all these perspectives were buried and religions might become archaeological institutions for men to dig and discover the original teachings or basics. This we refer to as the inner truth common to all religions. 

Initially, this doctrine of the inner truth was given a descriptive name - The Four Pillar Doctrine as the four main religions and the religions and sects of the world in the four cardinal directions are of essence from the same God though they are evolved by men over the centuries.
