- divine message as inspired by Lord Mou Chi Sun for the good of the many
The mission of the lord saint has entered the 45th year in 2013 and the three phases had been rolled out. The first phase of 13 years is from 1969 when the lord saint Lord Bo Tien introduced himself through human intermediary.
Pioneers were inducted and many of them were ordinary and even less than ordinary. This is the phase of faith and interaction between saint and men. This is the phase of "belief and the door will be open" and "seek and ye shall find"
To lead the bunch, a man steady as a rock like the unpolished diamond was asked to guide and provide the backbone for the mission. Elder Ling was the chosen one. At that time he was a senior police officer.
Together with some of the first batch of national servicemen in Singapore like William Chew, Ong K. L, Tay C.K. and another handful of those from police at Queenstown, the mission was registered officially as a temple.
The second phase saw the setting up of the Aged Home and the Mutual Help and Care to distribute provisions to the needy in society.
The first two phases were only the beginning or the starters. The third phase of doctrine soon set in to replace the first two and to take the stage when the mission moved to permanent concrete premises.
Younger people took over but they soon displace the old and the pioneers. They reap the fruits of the efforts of the past. This can be good so long as they can promote the doctrine mission.
But to do so they must take the mission through the human obstacle as predicted by the lord saint. The mission had undergone the fire and water obstacles in the early years. Fire engulfed the very early temporary make shift shrine. Water did inundate the latter awning temple and aged home across the road.
These two events gelled the members together and with zest under Elder Ling and Senior Brother P. Philip, they moved mountains and seas. They traversed drought and wants and soon they succeeded to go to new concrete premises.
Then came the few over eager young ones to take over the reins and displace Elder Ling and the oldies. They did well to maintain and level off but they were but like enthusiastic insects out to get nectar* from the flower - the analogy referred to by Lord Bo Tien.
This was as expected and as divined, since men in mission must traverse the human obstacle. Old and new must work as one to do so.
Heaven however expects all men in mission to move from mundane to supra-mundane. Surely, they can propel the mission beyond the gathering of nectar and do their part to support The Mission by Heaven to save all souls through their respective religions and sects. They need only to play supporting roles and rise to the occasion and the times.
God bless them. Lord Mou Chi Sun the faithful executor of Lord Bo Tien will never fail to be with them so that they can do better.
Like it or not, it is inevitable that Elder Ling and the old timers will make a come back. Those in the past who are no longer around will return however far they might and may have moved away from the mission.
They will be back to the fold even if they have professed to cut off allegiance for the mission and even if those already there are not ready for their return. This is the will of Heaven.
The far will be near and the near far. All far and near will be both far and near to the lord saint. This is and always will be.
They will come as one like the twin dragon supporting pearl. The latter is the personification of the doctrine of balancing the yin and yang so as to lift up the divine pearl of salvation.

* This may cause fragmentation of mission phases separating them as separate missions independent of one another e.g.welfare from temple.
