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 divine test a temple has to undergo

Learning Point 248






When there are differences in views but no consensus, in a temple of any saint, there must be a way out.

If divinity keeps silence, please do not interpret that one's view is the correct one.

It may be necessary to meditate and be mindful why there is no consensus. The whole point is that this may be the time to reflect on what the lord saint of that temple had taught in the past. How do men put into practise what was taught.

This may be the hands-off approach by the temple's lord saint to test if men could apply what they learnt not just for sectoral benefit but for the benefit of the many even those who do not see eye to eye with them.

Has the doctrine made any impact and do men live by the doctrine and live up to the doctrine? Has the doctrine mattered in their lives and in the temple they are in? Has the doctrine make the difference? Have men learn to be inclusive and not exclusive, to meet to their own needs as well as cater to needs of others? This is the divine test a temple has to undergo.
