LIVING LIFE SERIES 1

A BO TIEN (武天) MISSION INITIATIVE LAUNCHED ON 28TH SEPT 2010 BY INNER TRUTH NETIZEN 2. THE MISSION IS TO SHOW THE WAY TO HOPE, INNER PEACE AND ULTIMATELY SALVATION FOR ALL BEINGS. THE PURPOSE IS TO SAVE SOULS. IT IS WAY BEYOND NORMAL GOOD WORK LIKE CHARITY AND WELFARE ACTIVITIES. NO ONE SHALL BE SAVED BY GOOD WORKS ALONE BUT BY MORE THAN GOOD WORK. THERE IS NEED TO BE IMBUED WITH THE BASIC DOCTRINE COMMON TO AND BEHIND ALL RELIGIONS AND SECTS. LIVE IN DOCTRINE. DOCTRINE IN LIFE IS PARAMOUNT.

.

The Living Life Series is dedicated to Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨). The doctrine is in His image. The image is the doctrine. He who sees, understands and effects the doctrine sees and knows Him. He who does not see, know and effect the doctrine sees not and knows not the saint even if the saint or His image is beside him. The far may be near and the near may be far. Let the doctrine and the saint be part of our life. The lord saint in your life can be any heavenly saint of any religion, sect or school. The doctrine of truth is behind all and this is the Inner Truth that leads all (regardless of their religious affiliation or even if none) to inner peace and heaven on earth here and now and not just in the after life. The ideal worship and devotion is to know and effect the doctrine of God and the saints. The best gospel is the gospel of life. We learn from our life and the lives of others. The true temple is the world we live in. The sky is the roof of the temple and religions and sects are the pillars of the temple. All under Heaven are in the temple. Needless to say that all the saints we know are in this temple. Ji Gong Posat too is no exception. The whole wide world and web is the temple and must be regarded as a sacred place --- a temple for living and learning. It is more important that everyone that counts plays a role in this universal temple if due focus is to be given to the Mission of Heaven. Men must not be distracted by the agenda of men and end up serving the mission of man. That would be a far cry from the Mission of Heaven. We worship God and saints, not man however good that man may be. There should be no hero worshiping or idolizing of man whether he is a charismatic pastor, priest, monk, medium or lay leader. We don't even idol worship the image of any saint but reflect on what the image stands for. - the doctrine in the image. Omitofo 阿弥陀佛!.

Create your own 'world' and let the world work for you

No 133 of Living Life Series 1

Go for your own life, and not try to live the life of others.

Create your own world and make the world you create work for you. This has to be a world of love, peace and joy where you are at peace and ease with mundance and supramundane. Let this be the world where those whom you cherish can be with you and for you. In this world of your life, others will be at peace and not at odds with you. They will be at peace with you even with their differing interest and views. Cherish and savour the times you can be together. Create this social, emotional and psychic world or space for yourself and all those who matter in your life.

By virtue of their vast merits and boundless love for sentient beings, saints and posats like Goddess Kuanyin do create world or paradise where those who cherish their guidance can be with them for spiritual development.

We may not be saints but we can create our own niche or semblance of paradise or heaven on earth. Give some thought to this. Do make it come true to life in your life.

Cheers but first you must love yourself and the life you have. You must accept yourself for all that you are and can be. You must be at peace with yourself and with life of yin and yang. Do rise above the trials and tribulations. Do be contented in the wise way. You should neither hanker for the roof nor go for ground zero.

Good to acquire more skills and know-how where feasible. Create new needs and try to meet needs. But do moderate in way that you are able to make progress without creating pain and hell for yourself by going for the sky. Liberate yourself. Be free from extremes of denial and mortification on one hand and bottomless appetite for yet more and more on the other. Give some thought to this correct way to live. Do make up your mind to have your own world and heaven on earth despite the yin and yang of life. You need, however, to cultivate mindfulness and equanimity. Learn to be peaceful, steadfast and balanced as depicted by lord saint's image.

Create your own 'world' and let the world work for you. This applies too to any state or country in the world. Any city or island state, however, small in size (e.g. little red dot on map) can be big by creating its own world and make this world work wonders. Religions and sects too can spin wondrous and blessed world for adherents by doing likewise. There is plenty of room and leeway for religions to spin their stuff. They can synergistically complement and augment one anothers' good works. All adherents of the various sects, religions and free thinkers are brothers under the same open sky of divinity.

Likewise, there is plenty of room for all of us to spin our own world and yet complement one anothers world. This is fine example of a beautitude (spiritual value / beautiful attitude) being equally effective for both spiritual and non-spiritual matters. This has been reiterated to us by all heavenly saints and Lord Bo Tien is one for sure.

Let us be like 'gods' in heavens. Let us create our own beautiful world with divine inner peace. Let us have a contented, balanced, peaceful and rewarding life by having mastery over yin and yang -- the storms and calm seas of life. We must have peace and progress in life, spiritually and otherwise. Do so by avoiding denial and craving, that is, by having good balance over elements of life. This is as depicted by image of Lord Bo Tien with feet balancing the elements.

Yet another extract from The Road to Inner Peace

Lest you forget

Do not make the mistake of idolizing any man who tells you about the Word. He is in the same boat as you even if religion refers to him as a religious leader. Mere mention of a religious leader is as good as encouraging idolising of that man. Why must there be hierarchy in religion? Hierarchy is conventional but may end up as liability rather than a necessity or asset. There should be no caste or hierarchy system in religion. No one is to be considered above another in religion. A religious leader or follower is a servant to serve you and not a leader to be idolised. Do not put him on the pedestal and make a monster out of him.

MAY ALL BE WELL AND HAPPY

May all be well and happy. May they have peace. May our departed friends and kins be well, happy and have divine peace. The main writer wishes the best for all for those near and far. Our kins may be far when they had passed on to better lives but they are near though far. He remembers and wishes his parents Mr Siow Soo Koh and Mdm Tay Hung Siang, his uncles and aunties like Mr Tay Koon Huay, his cousins like Mr Tay Chong Sim and his friends like Mr Philip Png well and have abundance of life. May they be rich in spirit for without such ancestors, there will be no posterity - no us and no you and me. They have blessed us and we must blessed them in return forever and ever.
