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.

Day for reckoning

Learning Point No 224

 
 

There are two perspectives of Mission Day - one for followers of Lord Bo Tien  and the other for followers of all religions and sects that is for the world. The latter is the main mission or mission proper.
   

Mission day for 2012 falls on 27th Oct 2012 and like any other mission day, it is time for reckoning and reflection for those who are not aligned with the mission of the lord saint Lord Bo Tien and even for those who are aligned but yet not exemplary, that is, not effecting the doctrine of the lord saint in the way they speak, act or think.

Time to not only believe, understand but to practise the doctrine in life. Time to make use of doctrine as raft to cross the river of life and not admire or carry the raft on shoulders and risked being drowned by the river of life.

The day may seem not as meaningful to followers of other saints and prophets but the essence is the same. There is the need to go to the core or essence and the core is to be in harmony and one with God. The purpose is to save souls and this starts with self.

There are many ways via the various religions and sects. Religions and sects appeal by various ways but they have the common message. The differences enable reach-out to the many in society but men must go the mile and go deeper to understand why God needs the many religions and sects to reach out to men.

This is the mission of Heaven and Mission Day 13th Day of 9th lunar month which for 2012 falls on 27th Oct 2012 is the celebration of life for more to be saved through whatever religions or sects they may be in or even if none.

Whilst followers of Lord Bo Tien may feel privileged to be sort of chosen ones, the lord saint reiterated that the far may be near and the near may be far. Those of other sects, religions, temples or churches who know not him but who ascribe to the common purpose of religions and sects are near to him though they do not know him.

The day of reckoning is for all to reflect. Do we know God? Do we know why men must be different and yet all are one in God? Do we serve the agenda of men or do we go for the purpose of God?

Many claim they serve God but they end up making use of God's name for their own ends.  They see in God not God but the personification of  man in God and his saints.

We must not only be aligned to the purpose of God but must live in his word -- the inner truth common to all religions and sects.

Religions and sects may be as different as they may be but they are one in God and Heaven. Isn't this the same with the mundane world? Countries are as different as we know them but they are one in the world we call Earth.
 
The parts of an elephant to the blind men like the task, the trunk, the ear and the flat body may feel different but they are one in that they are of the same elephant.
 
When men are ignorant and not wise, they will see religions and sects as different and at odds with one another. Please for goodness sake, do see the wholeness of religions and sects in God and his saints
