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 Ji Gong principle of life we should all have

No 492 of Living Life Series 1

There is a reason to cheer if men can think only of good for all the whole year and not just at the start of the new year.

God and saints would like to set the ball rolling by sweetening their mouths and giving rather than receiving. To those who give like the gods, more will they receive. Do give more in life than just receive.

Let us be like the gods and sweeten our mouths, speak good of others and think good of them. That should be the way in life and not just for the new year at the beginning of Spring.

Cranes depict the joy of Spring

Let there be spring in life throughout the year regardless of the ups and downs we have and regardless of the seasons we face. Let there be a spring in every step and let us put our hearts to bring cheer to all whether near or far.

The far may be near if men can think well and bless one another without restraints and without constraints. Then they are like Amitabha and saints or even Moses, Jesus and the lot.

Lord Bo Tien

Lord Bo Tien says that the far may be near and the near may be far. But near and far do depend on what we think and not on the event of the here and now. We may be far from the gods but we are near to gods if we have them in our hearts.

Ji Gong

Ji Gong wishes all to be well and happy in whatever life they may be. What matters he said is not what goes through the gut or what one does but what is in the heart. If there is the heart in all that is good for one and all, there resides the godly or Buddha nature in the heart.

If one can see through life and have cheer come what may, he has the joy the gods want all to have on Chinese New Year. It is the joy that we should have and can have through out the year.

Let the enduring values enshrined in the lunar new year be in our hearts throughout the year and year on year. Let us value, eschew and celebrate life. That should be determined by the heart and not by what we have or what are around us, or by what others tell us but by the goodness of our heart. This is the Ji Gong principle we should ever have. 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.
