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!.

Spiritual fate of men in mission of a lord saint

No 723 of Living Life Series 1

Thus we have heard and understood:-

The mission of a heavenly saint is like the flower. A flower cannot be blamed for insects coming to it for nectar. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) had said. The flower will wilt but seeds from it will give rise to new flowers.

Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨)

There will be new areas of mission. A lord saint is like the great ocean that reaches out to many a land. Seeds of the mission will land on distant shores and new flowers will arise.

The doctrine of the lord saint will be seeded to grow and give rise to flowers in distant lands - new mission initiatives.

The wilting of the flower at ground zero is inevitable and would usually start with the passing on of the spiritual leader and from then on, there would be no turning back. The setback is made worse by the cult culture of the crowd at the ground and the pandemonium, in-fighting and social hiatus that follow.

Even the indomitable spirit of the remaining administrative leaders could do little except to lend weight to the dispersal of the seeds of doctrine to distant shores.

This is the will of Heaven.

And the mission of a lord saint is the mission of Heaven and not of men. Men will ever be more like insects coming to the flower for nectar - their own personal interests or agenda.

So ground zero where it all began will see the wilting of the flower and be emptied with the dispersal of the seeds of doctrine and mission to distant shores. Even the elder administrator pioneers who survive beyond the spiritual leader will have to go because they too will be swept away by the strong winds and storm.

But the strong winds and storm will not be forever and when calm returns, the seeds of good men will return to re-seed the mission at ground zero, but these must be doctrine based and not cult or personality based.

How and in what manner as well as who will come back are questions with no ready answers. Well, no answer is right or wrong.

Those that return may even come from afar and in their next life - the afterlife. How the spiritual fate of men in the mission of a lord saint will play out is perhaps ever the same over the centuries. Men will be men after all with the same habits and mistakes. Heaven guides but men live their own lives. Men must learn...

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.
