What next after concrete?

Mission History and News No 22

The concretisation of the mission to the premise at ground zero is no small feat. It is undoubtedly the summation of the will power, toil and sweat of the people from the formative years since 1969. 

The handful self assured people who came after did come with enthusiasm like insects to the flower. Can they do better and bring the mission through more paces and to greater height? Certainly they can, can't they?

What have they done? Can they do more to make the difference to show that the temple mission sets the pace for others to follow or is it just continuing with the pace already put in place and doing what many other temples have done or are doing? Can it set more examples for others to follow? That is the crux of the matter. 

Can the mission do without the influence of those involved in the formative years? Can it rise above mediocrity? 

Certainly, it should and can. There is always and should be the 'can do' and 'will do' spirit at least with the immortals above if not with men. The mission after all is by Heaven and not by men. 

Those on the ground can be expected to do better in their own respective ways and perspectives. That is their prerogative. Leave them to do what they know best. Judge not lest we be judged. 

Likewise, the efforts of writer in Living Life Series should not be judged as the main mission or separate from the mission. Just do what needs to be done and hope all will fall in place and be well received, be it by Heaven above or by men below.  

Better it is to do and do and not to ask why. Don't be nosy. Just contribute in some way to the mission which is after all by Heaven and not by men.
