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.

God and the boomerang effect

Learning Point No 426




Lao Tse is often quoted as saying that in the eyes of Heaven good begets good and bad begets good as well. 

That bad begets good does not appear to sound logical on first impression. But the way of men is not the way of God and saints. 


Men may come to a temple for blessings and this is often self-centered. The rich want to be richer. 

Many do not take keenly to the doctrine of Heaven. All they want is to have more goodness in life, more so for themselves than for others. So many knew that the place to seek such blessings is the temple or church. 

Even prostitutes go to a temple or church to seek for blessings of wealth. Heaven will still bless them. This promotes faith and in the process, hopefully in time, those who come to a temple or church will seek 'more good than the good they know'. This has to do with doctrine and the way to live live in doctrine. 

That bad can beget good in a house of God does not mean that the bad doer should continue to be doing bad for what goes out must come back. There is the boomerang effect. 

But if Heaven does not offer the olive branch, the bad will continue to be bad. The boomerang effect is already unpleasant and is not the wish of Heaven for the men at the receiving end. 

There is no need for Heaven to make matters worse for the bad doer. Heaven must love even the bad doer and that way, there is hope that the bad doer will appreciate that God is good and they should be good too. 

God and saints are good even to those who do bad things. This is the benevolence of God and saints.

If men commit wrong and the less or the unworthy, the boomerang effect may not spare them but God will by blessing them with good that make them wake up to be more right in living life. Then with more good done, they will beget good from the karmic boomerang. 

They are rewarded by the boomerang effect. God will additionally double or even triple the good due to them.

Thus the above will enable many at Bo Tien mission related temples to realise why the bad seem to be rewarded and blessed despite their obvious bad they did in the temple of the lord saint. This can irk many. 

In a temple of Lord Bo Tien, men of no good  may continue to have good life and limelight but not forever because the boomerang effect will always be there in the long run. 

They are like the strong wind blowing away good strong men of God. The strong wind will not blow forever and has to stop one day. This was said by Lord Bo Tien in 1984. Historical version of 1984 birthday eve message of Lord Bo Tien...

In many temples and churches, there will be those who appear good, doing welfare activities but their motives are not good or rather far from good. They are out really to further their own ends like fame and acclaim. 

They obviously do not harbor the divine intention to have inner peace and to cleanse and save their souls.  

They will receive good so long as there are good deeds but due to dubious motives, there will be less good in return. In the long term, the boomerang effect may result in retributions for their unholy intentions. 

They are like the fallen angel of God - Lucifer. Even Lucifer had done some good but his intentions were not good even before his fall from the grace of God.
