| Amitabha and all heavenly saints are like the great ocean |
Any heavenly saint is like the great ocean. No amount of mud flowing into the ocean will sully the ocean that reaches out to many a land.
Despite the odds, a lord saint will not be stopped from reaching out to men like the rain that comes down from the clouds to bless the land away from the ocean.
What are these odds? They are at least eight in number,
1) The human mediators primary and secondary who refuse to be faithful intermediary of the lord saint. They are weak links. A lord saint is never shackled down by such weak links who may be pastors, monks and trancers.
2) The falsehood that arises when men mistook what men said as what a lord saint said. Men can have doubts of the teachings of a lord saint and at times even prefer to sidetrack the teachings but men should not dwell in falsehood. It is like breaking commandments or precepts.
3) The subtle 'unseating' of a lord saint in the temple relegating the saint to the 'backyard' or museum so that some men can have more limelight to pursue their agenda as the agenda of the saint. Men in the temple then become beholden to man instead of God and saint. Pastor or priest take the limelight instead of God and saint.
4) The lord saint has no voice and say because men refuse to live in the doctrine specified in the messages of the saint. Men see not the Word as God and saint. They ensure that their own voice and say be heard instead.
5) Men claim credit for the good works motivated by the lord saint of that temple or church. They may even divorce the good works as a separate society from the temple or church of the saint with man becoming the overall patron and adviser instead of the heavenly saint.
6) Men profaning allegiance by holding temple celebrations and burning jos sticks and offering livestock when it is the doctrine and heart that count, not the outward actions of men.
7) Tuff guarding by men so that other men could not share the joy of being in the temple of a lord saint. They want to ensure that all who come are those with them. If not, they have no place there. But the reality is that men in a temple of a lord saint need not have same beliefs as the tuff guarders. This is just like the men in the world of the same one God can have different religions and sects.
8) (a) The denial of the publication of the messages of a lord saint and branding them as personal accounts which are mostly not true and authentic. But these messages contain the instructions and teachings of a lord saint and published officially by the earlier pioneer committee.
(b) It is however alright to have publications other than that containing the messages of a saint of the temple, so that men can have choice and free will. Men can compare and decide for themselves.
It is consistent with the Mission of Lord Bo Tien to make sure that such odds do not happen in any house of God and saints, and even if these do occur, men will learn and be wiser from the learning.
This will go a long way to ensure that men will be better adherents of a religion they choose. There is no need to switch religion or sect. The lord saint too is not starting a new sect or religion.
That the lord saint indeed has a temple in Singapore and another in Sitiawan Malaysia is not indicative of his starting a new sect or religion or that he favors any.
