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!.

Doctrine is in life and also only one click away

No 451 of Living Life Series 1

It is often said that rebirth is only a thought moment away. As fast as we can think, so can we be mentally transported to a place or mental concern.

Likewise in religious matters, what is needed is just the thought moment.

In technological age of computers, religious doctrine is only a click away. Just think of any topic or even a phrase, and type this down in search box and left click the search box with your computer mouse, and we will arrive at the doctrine we hope to know more about.

We will thus know not only the doctrine of a prophet or saint but also the views of different sects or religions and different authors.

Doctrine is in image and image is the doctrine

With respect to Lord Bo Tien and his teachings, one click and we will arrive at the doctrine and views of people who have put their views and understanding on the world wide web.

No wonder, the lord saint said that he is like the vast ocean that reaches out to many a land for the gain and benefit of many a man. He reaches out to man across the oceans and the globe.

All it takes is the click of the computer mouse, and we will arrive. Fortunately or unfortunately, for now, we may be flooded with the writings of inner truth netizen through his blogs - The Living Life Series from No 1 to 6. From there on, it is up to us to reach out to the lord saint or any heavenly saint through meditation or prayer.

Heaven is only a prayer away. If men try to depend on other men, this too can be done but better go direct and not through another man. The same applies to doctrine through click of computer mouse.

Why depend solely on the written or what are passed down through men when you can go direct. Moreover, life itself is the living gospel. God and saints teach us through life as life unfurls.

Learn from other men by all means but ultimately we need to learn from God and saints directly and we can do so through mindfulness of life - its trials and tribulations, its ups and downs which sages refer as the yin and yang.

Doctrine is not just one click away but in life. The issues of men are many and plentiful and they come thick and fast often in passionate embrace as depicted by the yin and yang revolving globe.

Men even bring their agenda into the mission of the heavenly saints. They masquerade their agenda into the mission of the saints of religions and sects and proclaim that men must fulfill these. There is the transformation or worse still the hijacking of doctrine to fit the wishes of men who want to dominate men in the name of religion. This is not in accordance with the will of Heaven

Knowledge of doctrine is one click away on the computer mouse. There is in current times the plethora of of views evolved and gathered over the centuries from the lifetime of the founder saint or prophet even of the same religion or sect in the world wide web. This allows for men who want to know more and to come to reality of what true doctrine is.

They can easily do so if they make the effort and decipher by going to the upper source of stream for clear water as advised by Lord Bo Tien. This is referred to by the lord saint as the basic or inner truth behind religion and this truth is same and one across religions and sects.

When the doctrine one grasps is in concordance with what one perceives in life, then it is the correct doctrine. Life is the living gospel or doctrine. The gospel is in life and is also only one click away.

May Omitofo be with us always and ever more. That is so and so must this be. Amitabha or Omitofo has long arrived even in the world wide web and is only a click away just as he is only a thought away.

He attends to all who call out his name even if they are not of the Pure Land School and are of different religions or sects. This is in line with the will of Heaven. Omitofo.

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.
