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!.

Sunset and sunrise are here to stay

No 838 of Living Life Series 1

Let us be mindful that death though different from life is in a way no different as death is like the change from today to tomorrow. A day well lived prepare us for a smoother and better prospect of tomorrow. A spiritually well lived life prepares us for death.

Today if not well lived in wise way will merely postpone problems for tomorrow and create more problems. We must be mindful not to live as though there is no tomorrow or as though today does not matter as much as tomorrow.

There must be balance and this balance helps to iron out the creases in life and makes life more welcoming and pleasant somewhat. Religion should be like that.

But some religions may be misunderstood for spelling out the stark reality of the harshness of life while others may paint a picture of happiness even now if we believe and have faith. Mind you, both are right.

The best is to have the balance approach which is to be at peace with life and its vicissitudes and to want to be at peace with life even if some of these seem insurmountable. The gods or heavenly saints up there are here to help if we seek their shelter.

Many issues will end up no issues but even big issues will end up as less issues though there is the element of fate. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) says.

He adds that there will always be storms in life. Storms do not last forever and if sheltered by the saints, it would be easier to weather the storms till calm seas return.

Death may be fearful but if sheltered by the heavenly saints, it would lead to life - a better life and even a happy state or paradise of sorts though a relative one at that

Life and death alternates like calm seas and storms. Be mindful therefore and do not live as though there will be no storms or death or that there will be no calm seas or life.

Be mindful and be at peace. It helps more if we have the shelter and guidance of heavenly saints.

Do not live for tomorrow as though renouncing today and do not live for today as though there is no tomorrow. Do not die to life today for life of tomorrow and do not live as though we are dead to tomorrow. Do not die to life and do not live to die.

Do not live as though the sun will never set nor live as though the sun will never rise. Be at peace with sunset or sunshine as both are here to stay. They are realities of life.

Both are beautiful to the one who loves life and who is at peace with the yin and yang of life. Be mindful of the dual nature of yin and yang that is life. This too did the good lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) say.

This truth is present in life and in all religions and cultures. Doesn't this make it the universal truth? All religions have the same universal truths. This is the message of the messenger of the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨).

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.
