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!.

Malign not God but go for Tao 道 - the Word of God

No 760 of Living Life Series 1

The likelihood of people understanding Tao 道 of life is already low. It is even more unlikely for people to appreciate the need to cultivate it.

It is not just a matter of wanting to do it but the ability to do it well to perfection which takes many rebirths. This puts many off and thus religions simply must offer a more pleasant and seemingly easier route, which is that we can be saved by mere faith and belief in God. At least then if such option holds true, we will have a better rebirth in a heavenly realm of sorts in the afterlife, albeit to undergo training in Tao and to perfect it in a distant time over many births.

Tao 道 is a pain in the neck to many. Many just want immediate instant paradise and thus the promise that God provides will easily catch on, even if life is not as what will turn out if God really provides.

Well, believers will just say they need to have faith. Also, God provides what God expects us to have and not what we expect God to give. After all, God knows better and has our best interests at heart. He can envision what is best for us. God they say never fails. So they say, we must praise God for his wisdom, vision and love. But is this truthful and consistent with God and reality?

Often, what God provides may at times be like swallowing a bitter pill or worse still more like a punishment but please they say that we hang on to faith.

Many have however maligned God and expect too much from him. Many make mockery of his name. God wants us to be savvy with Tao or The Word but we insist instead to say "God, you should just provide so that we need not cultivate and be on the long road of Tao 道." We may even add that the belief that "God helps those who help themselves" is not even in the scriptures. That has to do with men and not with God and saints.

For goodness sake, or rather for God sake, don't blame God and saints when things don't turn out right, more so when we expect him to provide. We do have the whole life span to work on Tao but many don't seem to even care to know Tao despite immersion in religions. That is pathetic.That is why we have the mission of the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) to correct this and bring Tao 道 into the focus of religions.

What is Tao 道 ? Tao 道 is the Word or Doctrine that if we live by it will enable peace - inner peace of spirit regardless of the yin and yang, the worldly contingencies. We can then be at peace come what may - even when there is no peace around.

It is depicted by the feet of the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) atop and balancing the elements of yin and yang. Tao 道 is that gives inner peace but we need to cultivate it. One life time is not enough. So make haste while the sun shines in our present life. Time and tide waits for no man.

Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨)

Malign not God but go for Tao. Do not use God's name in vain by saying God provides. The Word is God. The Word if cultivated brings inner peace. The Word is Tao 道 . It is in all religions. Well, in a way God provides through the Word or Tao 道 . This is how God and saints will provide.

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.
