Tao Thay Shang Men – English

From: Herman Tan
Question:
I would like to ask:
1. Is it true that Bodhisatva has a higher level of perfection than God (Shen)?
2. I notice in some temple have got Lo Thung or the intermediaries between human and God, is the purpose to help people. Is Lo Thung true?
3. Does Sun Go Kong/ Che Tian Thay Sheng really exist?
Thanks before…
Answer:
1. Shen (God) and Fo (Budha) must put TAO (Truth) into practice and attain TAO (perfection) so that They can be Shen or Fo. So their level of perfection is the same. Because the difference of path during Siu Lian that made them different.
2. The people who can communicate with Shen in the temple and help mankind to solve their problem are true, and the society knows it as Lo Thung. But many people cheat and claim they have the ability of Lo Thung, and it can ruin the image of TAO and mislead the society. Therefore, it would be better if we can and understand how to communicate with Shen (from Tao Ying Suk), this will be better and we would never fall into a trapped and to be deceived by the irresponsible people.
3. Sun Go Kong is only legend story from the past, animal can not learn (Siu) Tao and animal can not attain (Tek) Tao, so animal is not possible to be God. We shouldn’t proper to worship animal, because it is only superstition and not rational.
