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!.

The Presence Divine (2011 version)

No 241 of Living Life Series 1

The lord descends with a message

We praise you, O Lord

The messenger of Heaven

Lord Bo Tien

The doctrine is in the image. The image is the doctrine

You come to help and enlighten

Through you, we will always learn

To lead the spiritual life

the one and sure way

that yields peace and heaven

both mundane and spiritual

not just for hereafter

but for now as well

the inner truth way

that is the one basis

for life ease and peace

behind any faith or sway

Lord Bo Tien''s guidance.
Truth though profound is simple
Through Bro Philip, this was said

Lord

Guide us day by day

To be better by the day

To forgive others

Just as you forgive us



This way we live life

free from mind of dis-ease

like guilt, sin and fear

but blessed with inner peace

ever so dear in life to cheer

To be better. To live and let live. To enable life
No place for fear and guilt Lord Bo Tien doth say
This be true with arch angels in the fore

O Lord

Just as you give

We too should give

Then we be richer

from giving

not just receiving

if the two we balance

and all of life as well

like yin and yang pair

of the pakua way

Or like in your seated pose

with feet on elements two

yin and yang ever so true

peace in balance that is cool

Praise be to the most high

For your presence divine

For doctrine in your image true

and image is the doctrine too

The presence divine

Like the lotus

Amidst the muddy pool

Lord, you are our lotus

To make us peaceful

and be lotuses too

Lord, you are our ocean

That reaches to every man

like the ocean to every a land

watering off the mud of men

Let us be part of your ocean

to reach to all men

and to many a land

to bring the great ocean

of heaven to man

To all heavenly saints, I greatly adore.
I believe in your existence
and thy glory is in the thought of man.
I seek for thy protection and guidance
so as to live better for the time to come

In you, Lord Bo Tien

and the saints of all faiths

surely we will and we can.

All faiths surely will ring

so heaven they bring

To all in God and saints

so men will live and sing

Beautiful garden at a residence in urban Singapore
A paradise beyond the imagination of many.
Truly a glimpse of heaven on earth as you can see.

Then life be beautiful

more than a paradise

and truly Godsend

Our life be candle

to more amongst men

and to many a land

To light up not only

the blemishes to avoid

but also the beauty

as well as the void

of the yin and yang

in life of all

not just of men

in many a land

But to all below...

The world is the temple
with the sky as the roof
and thus at Bo Tien Temple,
there is the glass cone roof
Four pillars surround the shrine
They depict all faiths
and are water pillars
depicting showers of blessings

One of the four water pillars at Bo Tien Temple

koi pond around the shrine floor
from which the four pillars arise

....the roof of Heaven above

with religions like pillars four

To make our world

the Temple of God

for one and all

This be the real temple

Lord, this did you say

Amen and peace be

to all of men

.
Hear ye, hear ye

Temple bells do ring

Cheer they bring

and awe as well

to one and all

from the temple of the lord

and all saints of God

Do bring on the bells

To make sure all's well

for near or far

though far can be near

and near be far

thus did the lord say.

In God and Saint

and Holy Spirit three

we will stand to gain

when we do pray

for divine presence be

for all and for thee

the Holy Trinity

at Temple of Heaven

for you and for me.

Trinity of Buddha Amitabha,
(symbolic of Divine apex or God Head)
Lord Bo Tien (the saint) on left
and Goddess Kuanyin on right
(embodiment of Holy Spirit of love)
with the five archangels in front
The Divine Trinity of God
with archangels as effectors

Front view

Side view

Octagon shrine floor with pakua

Let's go the pakua way

So peace of spirit ever be

like the calm blue sea

Not yin yang whirls

That give the swirls

and storms so cruel

Alas calm seas do go

and storms will come

Till saints we can become

By having peace eternal

serene and ever so calm

Let God and saints

show the way today

and for all days

so all can attain

the peace of saints

that stands and last

and not wax and wane

as per the pakua way.

or as some may say

as per lotus way

peace all the way

despite life sways

Pakua or lotus way

differ as they may

Tao or Bodhi way

still the same say

of inner truth way

that doth hold sway

in faiths of the day

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.
