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!.

Live life like a saint

No 10 of Living Life Series 1

We must live life the way saints live and would live on earth if they had to.

Let our mind and spirit be seated on throne of truth, love and peace like Lord Bo Tien on the dragon chair of the holy spirit.

Let us live the care free life. Let us be the breeze in life and go for wide open space of life like in the heavens. Let us be like the dove in air and display no airs but be free and be at peace in open air. The holy spirit of God and saints is like the dove to fly everywhere. It is the "leng" in Chinese and is open to all who dare and care for one and all in life and in death.

Do not be cooked up in mind-set nooks and alleys with obstacles and traps at every turn. Let us move unencumbered on heavenly highways of life on earth away from encumbrances of polar contingencies of life and mind set restrictions and constraints. This way we will be free and liberated to be unrestricted by the conditioned and the caused and yet be amongst the conditioned and caused.

Easier to have breeze, ease and space in life that way when others are in the blind and bind of worldly life woes and throes what Chinese sages of old refer to as the yin and yang. We must be atop the yin and yang and be master of yin and yang. Only then will we be free to stand still or move freely and serenely amidst the whirlpools of yin and yang

That's the way to live life and breathe and live easy like a saint, amidst the hustle and bustle, amidst the pull and push, and amidst the ups and downs. No need to compete or concede and to live in others lives. No need to be in their shadows and be denied light and space. No need to be out and down and be made a clown of life. No need to to be raised on a pedestal only to be asked to step down again. No need to inflate or ego only to be deflated with a mere pin prick of disappointment. No need to be filthy rich or poor but to have enough. We need only to be optimistic, be eager for more life and be at peace with health, contentment, self confidence and eventual bliss of enlightenment. Go for blessings and not be stuck by woes of disappointments.

Do live life like a saint. Then, we will not have jeers and tears but we will have cheers and peace of the Holy Spirit in life and even beyond death. Cheers again.

The image of Lord Bo Tien bids us to balance life of yin and yang and be free from tears and jeers to have life of cheers and peace. We will be seated like the lord saint on the Holy Spirit depicted by the majestic dragon chair of His image.

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.
