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!.

Affinity with heavenly saints on Lunar New Year

No 817 of Living Life Series 1

Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) is the divine messenger of God the Jade Emperor for the Inner Truth that all religions and sects are one in the inner truth of God. There is the need to be good by receiving the goodness of God and saints and by cultivating good to be able to have more good - in step-wise fashion 步步高升.

This is the doctrine or Word and the Word is God and God is the Word. On the eleventh hour of the eve of the Lunar New Year, let us be in the universal temple to receive the lord through reaffirming and recommitting ourselves to the Word. By doing so, we receive the lord for the Word is in Him and he is the Word.

Where is the universal temple? It is where the sky or heaven is the roof of the temple and religions are the pillars. All under Heaven is in this universal temple.

All man-made temples are gateways to open our souls to be in tune with the universal temple. Many are oblivious that they are in the universal temple.

The good lord like all heavenly saints descends to bless men on occasions like Chinese New Year so as to encourage them to practice the Word - through Tao or the Way.

Tao is the balancing of the opposing polarities of life - the yin and yang and this can be achieved in part through the guidance and blessings of God and saints as well as through conscientious mindful cultivation of peace of the moment. Many moments of peace make for greater peace and eventual enlightenment.

Tao is the practice of the Word that underlies all religions and sects in some way or other - seen or unseen. Tao starts with devotion and faith and practices of religions are instrumental to lead men to serious spirituality which is Tao or Way. This may be referred to by any other name.

The process involves serial step-like progress - 步步高升 and has to do with peace and the want of peace with love of life and all men. There must be that concerted spiritual avoidance of conflicts and discord. Religion is about all these attributes.

(But alas temples and religions do attract and are magnets of conflicts and this is disappointing though unavoidable as we should not blame the flower for insects coming to it - as per what Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 teaches us.)

Moving upwards step by step
with more success

步步高升

Let us reaffirm our commitment to God and saints like Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) on Chinese New Year and renew our affinity with God and saints. The Lunar New Year is the celebration of this affinity.

Let the celebration of life begins with The Lunar New Year. Let this celebration continues throughout the year in the spirit of moving upward step by step progressively for more success - 步步高升 and this goes a long way to contribute to a more peaceful life for everyone at least for the year in question - 大家过给太平年

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.
