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!.

All about God that we should know

No 799 of Living Life Series 1

Never be taken in when a man tells you, he speaks for God and it is because men are wrong that they cannot feel and communicate with God. Even such a man is wrong in saying that he can speak for God.

God does not need any intermediary when he is in us and in everything we experience in this world. He is in the wrong we do as well as in the right. If we know ourselves, our rights and wrongs, we know God and God knows us. It is as simple as that. God is not wrong but we see God through our wrongs.

God is in hell, on earth and in heaven. God is omnipresent.

If God is in hell, there is hope for those in hell. God will not forsake those in Hell but they must want to make good before they can be redeemed.

There are even those at fringe of Heaven who like the likes of Lucifer know only themselves and not God. God still allows them to be in Heaven and hope that one day they know Him as much as He knows them.

Even if you think that there is no God, this is no problem for God as he is God. He knows and love you better than you know. It is men who find it a problem that you don't believe in God but not God. Man is the problem and not God.

God is but we are not and yet to be like God. We end up not doing justice to his good name every time we talk about him.

Lest we forget, the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) is the messenger of God for the mission to show the oneness of all in God - the oneness of the same truth behind the diversity of religions and sects.

Well, all are one and one is for all. All are one in God and God is one for all religions and sects. Each one religion or sect is for all religions and sects. Each is able to do what the rest could not. Each complements the work of the rest.

But men who know not God though God know men will end up causing men of religions to come to blows. That is why God send the good lord as his messenger to show the oneness of religions.

No one can speak for God and take the law of Heaven into his own hands. However good, wise and well meaning he might be, no one can talk for God and shoot off his mouth. He may appear correct but not correct enough more so if he ends up undoing the good that is already there.

This does not mean men cannot think. Men have to think and reason. That is what Doctrine (Dao-li 道理)is all about. Can men go far enough in reasoning that is Dao-li 道理?

Most cannot but a few can. That is the reality.

There is free will in life to decide what we want to think and what to believe. But at the same time, we cannot live life any how we like. We can only wheel around on certain roads and terrain of thinking and living because we are not good enough as yet. There is as such no free wheeling for the majority.

One universal area where there is free will but no free wheeling even for the wise is in the area of speaking for God. Anyone can talk about God but to speak for God is a different matter.

If we try to speak for God, we may end up misleading the sheep and becoming the default stand-in and beacon for God. People may idolize us instead of God. We may end up fouling up the house of God.

So do have some reservations with regards to this post. Perhaps, you shouldn't have read it in the first place.

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.
