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!.

Remembering all heavenly saints

No 549 of Living Life Series 1

To all heavenly saints we greatly adore
We believe in your existence
and thy glory is in the thought of men.
We seek for thy protection and guidance
So as to live better for the time to come.

Amitabha Buddha we seek for they guidance
Amitabha Buddha we seek for they guidance
Amitabha Buddha we seek for they guidance

Goddess Kuanyin

Goddess Kuanyin fully enlightened
Virtue of all virtues
Mother on earth and in Heaven.
Teach us to forgive and to be forgiven
and to have with us the precepts of God.
Goddess most holy pray for us.

The Doctrine is the Image

and the Image is the Doctrine
Life is about yin and yang
and its balance is Tao
that decides who be saint.

The near may be far

and the far near.
Men in a temple
may be no better
than men outside.

The temple is the people not the building
The sky is the roof of the temple
Religions are the pillars in all four directions
The world temple is not the temple men built
This is the Four Pillar - The Inner Truth Doctrine

The lord saint is like the great ocean

that reaches out to every shore

and no amount of mud of men

will sully the great ocean

But not the temple of men
who cannot reach out beyond
the shore let alone to every shore
and who may be sullied
by mud of men themselves

The mission to save souls
is the mission of Heaven
not the mission of men.
Man is man and saint is Saint

Insects come to a flower
for nectar for their own gain.
Blame not the flower
for insects coming to it.

Likewise is a saint to be blamed
if men come to a temple
other than for spiritual
but for mere personal ends?

Less worthy can come
more than anyone else
to the temple of the lord
for the blessings and for gains.

They can have nectar
if they want for now
if mere nectar can draw them
to the temple and the lord
That be so and so be it

But those with heart to seek
the lord saint doth know
and will surely bless even the more.
Have more heart and be blessed.
That is not just good but best.

These did the lord saint Lord Bo Tien say

Lord Bo Tien

What matters is what goes through the heart
and not what one does
or what goes through the gut.
What matters is whether
there is the Buddha in the heart.
This did Ji Gong Huo Fo say

Ji Gong the Living Buddha
ascended on 14th day of 5th lunar month 1207.

Do good
Avoid evil
Purify the Mind
This is the teaching of all Buddhas

Gotama Buddha

Isn't this common to all faiths

and has to do with the inner truth

that Lord Bo Tien talked about?

As in the great ocean
there is but one taste
the taste of salt
So also with Nirvana,
there is but one taste
the taste of Deliverance

Gotama Buddha

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.
