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!.

Temple, Teachings and Truth in life

No 338 of Living Life Series 1

THE TEMPLE, TEACHINGS AND TRUTH ARE AS VAST AS THE GREAT OCEAN TO REACH OUT TO ALL THROUGH ALL RELIGIONS AND SECTS, THROUGH ALL VIEWS AND WAYS AND THROUGH ALL MEN AS WELL.

THERE ARE NO CHOSEN FEW AND WAYS.

GOD AND SAINTS LIKE LORD BO TIEN ARE LIKE THE GREAT OCEAN TO REACH OUT TO MANY A LAND AND MANY A MAN IN MANY A WAY.

THE ISSUES AND WAYS OF MEN WILL NOT AFFECT THE VAST OCEAN OF THE MISSION OF HEAVEN. THE MORTAL WAYS OF MEN SHOULD NOT BE MISTAKEN AS THAT OF IMMORTAL SAINTS.

THE INTENDED GOOD THAT MEN DO EVEN IN NAME OF GOD OFTEN HAVE MORTAL CONSEQUENCES.

THE TEACHINGS OF THE LORD (MESSAGES) ARE THAT OF RELIGIONS. ALL RELIGIONS ARE GOOD HE SAID AND THEY SERVE MEN TO BRING ALL MEN TO GOD IN THEIR OWN RESPECTIVE WAYS

THE TRUTH OF HIS TEACHINGS IS IN LIFE. HIS MESSAGES REFER TO LIFE - HOW TO LOVE LIFE AND NOT LOATHE LIFE AND HOW TO HAVE PEACE AND NOT DIS-EASE. THE TRUTH IS BEHIND RELIGIONS - HENCE INNER TRUTH. THE DOCTRINE OF TRUTH IS IN THE IMAGE AND THE IMAGE IS THE DOCTRINE. TRUTH TOO IS IN THE BAGUA

IMAGE OF LORD BO TIEN

Balance in life of the events as depicted by the feet on elements is an ever on-going matter in our yin and yang world. To be steady in holding on to balance and have inner peace come what may is depicted by left hand in salutation. To hold on to this divine way and to share this inner truth to the world through any religions and sects is depicted by the right hand holding on to sceptre

BA GUA

The Ba Gua is ageless and summarises the essence of the wisdom of the sages. There is always cyclical ups and downs. But despite this we can have peace by balancing our inner self and have inner peace amidst the yin (passivity) and yang (activity) in nature and in life from birth to our last breath. Life will then be more whole, smooth and round like the Taiji.

Events in life and nature come in eight possible triplet sets of yin and yang the sages of old did want us to know. They are the trigrams. Let this be the all pervading focus in meditation and mindfulness for us to have more inner peace that is divine. We will then be one with God and saints.

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.
