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!.

The global approach to life and spirituality

No 845 of Living Life Series 1

In life, it is good to be goal orientated and focused so that we can get what we want. But this must not be at expense of other needs of life. Then with myopic approach, there will be more to lose than to gain. This is what indulgence is all about.

Well, we should not even indulge in spiritual. That may well be renouncing or giving up of life when in reality, spirituality means we must embrace life.

We must however not indulge in any particular aspect of life. There must be a balance approach with no giving up or going for more. This is what true spirituality is all about.

This balance is reflected in the image of the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) with feet resting on the elements of life. This is why the good lord says the Doctrine is the image and the image is the Doctrine.

True spirituality is attainable anywhere and if so, there is no need to be in a temple or church once a week. But then, we must have fellowship for it is in fellowship or getting together that we strengthen one another.

Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) says that a collection of candle flames is better than the lone candle flame in lighting up our lives be it spiritual or otherwise.

But even then there must be balance. We must not run away from the world or family we are in to be in a temple of God built by man.

We must be plugged into the world. We must be in the universal temple of the world. Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) says that the true temple is the universal temple with the sky or heaven as the roof and all are in the universal temple with religions as the pillars or rallying points for people of different inclinations.

We can be with the pillar of our choice but we must not be myopic. We must be mindful to live as one with the whole world in the universal temple. We must not forget our family, our friends and the world we are in.

This is the moderated or balanced approach found in all religions and talked about by all saints. All religions are one in this respect and this is message of the messenger of God Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) .

This is indeed the universal global approach in life be it spiritual or otherwise. The good lord reminds that any value that works for spiritual if applied to non-spiritual life will work equally well.

Let us be balanced in approach to life and spirituality. Let there be no myopia. Let us believe in and have respect for all religions and all heavenly saints. This is stressed by Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨). He gives us this universal prayer.

"To all heavenly saints we greatly adore. We believe in your existence and thy glory is in the thought of men. We seek for thy protection and guidance so as to live better for the time to come."

Let there be the global approach to life and spirituality. It is that much more wholesome to be with God and all heavenly saints. It is so wonderful to be one with the world and to be in tune with yin and yang.

It is simply great to be in tune with all religions and sects which give diversity, spice and color to life. Like the spokes of the wheel, they are centered on divine peace, love and God and saints. They rotate as one to save more souls.

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.
