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.

The true temple is both out there and within

Learning Point No 392




The true Temple of Lord Bo Tien is not a building but the universe. Heaven is the roof of the temple with religions of God as the four pillars in the four cardinal directions. 

This four pillar doctrine stresses oneness of God and basic truth behind all faiths. The lord is God's messenger to effect outreach of this doctrine. 

The doctrine is the how or way to peace through balance of polarities or contingencies of life. 

Taoists call it the mastery or Tao for yin and yang - the passive / soft and the active / hard aspects of life and nature

Lord Bo Tien like the ocean reaches out to many a land and his outreach is way beyond the existing good work of any temple of man. 

There are two types of universe. There is the universe to which we belong. There is also the universe within each person. 

So if the true temple is out there in the whole universe, it is also in our mind wherein resides the universe within. The universe within is after all the inner expression of the universe.

Heaven is the upper limit of mind. Our mind can reach up to anywhere and the sky is the limit of our imagination and thinking. 

Religions are the pillars which support the apex of our mind, that is, spirituality or God nature inherent in all men. The heavenly spirituality is the roof of our mind. 

The pillars (religions) also act as the markers of our spiritual ground. They demarcate or to put it more clearly, they are the reference points for spirituality - for the growth of our soul within the house or temple of our inner universe - the mind. 

The four pillars in the four cardinal directions mark the temple of the mind. Our mind is also the other true temple. It is manifest of the temple or universe in us.

God and saints speak to us through the temple which is our mind. Our mind accommodates all who and that have to do with life - those we know, work with, relate to and so on. 

There are two aspects of the true temple - the universe we are in and the universe within us - our mind. The true temple is both out there and within.

Life is the true gospel. We learn from the lessons of life both in the external and internal expanse of the universe. 

The plus and minus aspects of life shape our life and enable the wise to cultivate spirituality leading to deliverance. 

Life is there in both the external and internal extensions of the universe. Both constitute the temple of life. The temple is where we learn from life. The gospel of life is within the temple. 

Our mind, lest we forget, is the door to the astral and non physical dimensions of the great universe.
