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 gold, silver and copper standards for mission

No 843 of Living Life Series 1

Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) is the messenger of Heaven to stress that all religions though different are the same and have the same God, share some basic common spiritual principles and objectives as well as common space. They may differ in dogmas, scriptures and practices.

The mission of Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) is not just to show that all religions are one and same in God and saints. There is more than that. It is not just about being devotional through any religion. It is not just about doing good and helping others through religions. It is not about loving God and saints, loving self and loving others because of religion.

The mission is beyond all these. It is about getting one and all regardless of religious persuasions to be at peace with life and be steady come what may.

Life is imperfect and the only permanency is impermanence.

The gold standard for mission of the good lord is to convince that all must go beyond devotion, beyond good works and beyond loving kindness to have the peace with life come what may.

There must be the pervading peace in us amid the yin and yang in us and around us. This is the gold standard for the mission of the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨).

Go for the inner peace and this is reachable through any religion or even without religion. This is the gold standard.

Other standards are not gold standards but perhaps silver and copper standards. If we go for other standards, it is still mission related but not the gold standard.

In the early history of the mission, triplets of the scepter were made with one in gold paint, another silver plated and the third copper plated.

Inner peace is the gold standard. Good work is the silver standard and devotion is the copper standard. This is but one way of looking at the mission. Inner peace, good works and devotion can be attained through any religion.

These are the gold, silver and copper standards of the mission depicted by the scepter in the image of the good lord. The three standards are attainable through all religions.

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.
