The ultimate temple or church is the universal temple with the sky or Heaven as the roof and all under Heaven is in the temple. The architecture of Bo Tien Temple Singapore with sky roof dome is reminiscent of this universal temple. Such a temple or church should open its doors to all even those of differing views and approaches. Elder Ling is very aware of this and accommodated all factions and diverse sectors from day one when the story unfurl beautifully but like what Lord Bo Tien said the Mission will have to undergo its third obstacle after having undergone two others - that of baptism of fire and (water) flood. The third test is the human obstacle -- of human problems. Then the mission will grow and spread like the ocean to many a land. If one group or temple fail, other groups or temples will sprout forth. There is the Sitiawan Bo Tien Temple, up north of Singapore at Perak where the simple folks are devout and ready for the go. The Internet is an open place and can reach to many a land and many a heart. Living Life Series is the other temple and is closer to the concept of the universal temple of Heaven --- the ultimate temple or church.
