The legacy of Mou Chi Sun

Mission History and News No 17

 

 

  

 

 

The early years of the temple or mission in Singapore were intertwined with stories of the presence of the military or 'boo'  assistant of Lord Bo Tien.

 

He is the silent one and unlike his counterpart the doctrine or 'boon' assistant of the lord saint, his name or honorific Mou Chi Sun was made known to the pioneers. He was and still is the no-nonsense divinity who always came down with austere face and crossed forearms in front of his chest. He often stood and flipped  himself backwards in the air 360 degrees to be back on his feet with his characteristic standing and stunning pose with crossed forearms.

 

Many remember him as the one who acted and punished but inner truth netizen is of the opinion that he did not and does not punish but he taught and teaches through events in life. His modus operandi was and is through actions and events. He came down with the lord saint and actively made known his presence only from before 1970 to perhaps 1980 or a year or two later. His name is Mou Chi Sun.

 

On hindsight, he was the one who carried out the setting up of the mission amongst men. He made sure that men knew that the lord saint is not the medium and the medium is not the saint.  

 

He paved the way for the doctrine to be passed down to men by his doctrine counterpart and the lord saint himself. Men could have easily mistaken what were said through the medium as that imagined or concocted by the medium. There was the danger of confusion and men might think that the lord saint is fictitious and not believable, more so when they judge the character of the medium who was after all every inch a man however good he seemed to be. This was especially more so in the early years when the men were not so receptive to doctrine and philosophy. (Alas, this may still be true today..... )

 

The late medium himself was no exception and often he too had his doubts of the lord saint despite the manifest presence of Mou Chi Sun. So as the silent one and effector par excellence, he acted and people reacted. Often it was Mou Chi Sun who undid what happened to them, the moment they woke up and amended their ways. They ended up having more faith and becoming better men who improved by many steps in purity of the heart. Action truly spoke louder than words.

 

Through such incidents, the divine silent one demonstrated the unmistakable reality of Lord Bo Tien and made many an erring member toe the line. But when the doctrine and messages were passed down, the lord saint did stress that doctrine is paramount and those who understand the doctrine understand and know what He stands for. Thereafter the silent one stayed in the background to give free play for the doctrines amongst men. But more often than not when men are given the free will and left to their fancies, many do not live in the doctrine and allow themselves to be led by doctrine. They end up going for what they would like to achieve in the society of men but which they could not.

 

The legacy of Mou Chi Sun is that he demonstrated that Lord Bo Tien is for real and not the concoction of men. The doctrine mission like the lord saint too is real and here to stay and reach out like the ocean to many a land. Men must spare no effort to make the doctrine common to all religions come to life in life so as to subdue the base nature and flaws of man.

By knowing that the lord saint is not the medium and the medium is but a man will spur men to believe in God and saints, not just Lord Bo Tien. Mou Chi San had seen to this end but with the doctrine once more made known by the lord saint though buried in the archives of religions over the centuries, men especially those in Bo Tien related temples must now know what they need to know and they must do what need be done.

No need for the stick as God has trust in the innate goodness of men. The doctrine is the carrot to bring goodness to all men --- the doctrine that all religions in the four cardinal directions are the varied ways to save the souls of men and bring men to God. Thus the doctrine is the inner truth behind religions and in early days it was referred to as The Four Pillar Doctrine. Religions are the pillars in the four cardinal directions. The universe or world is the house or temple of God and saints. The sky or Heaven is the roof.

 

Truth is as simple as that but men distracted by the many intricacies complexities and issues of men see not the simple truth of oneness of God amongst the various religions and sects. They think that they have to get a Doctor of Philosophy in theology and religion before they can know God and be saved.

 

No one would believe in Lord Bo Tien as the messenger of GOD for the Four Pillar Doctrine unless they know the lord saint is not the medium and the medium is not the saint. Mou Chi Sun had done his part well and had left behind his legacy. His legacy will live on.
