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!.

How good can goodness be?

No 943 of Living Life Series 1

There is no such thing as right if there is no wrong. What matters is the intention? What matters is why do this or that?

The mother of all good or bad is the mind. As the mind thinks so will the action be unless there is restraint and reconsideration.

Many are those who do good with not so good intention. At least there are some good coming out from this but not as good if the intention has been better.

There is need to do good with pure mind to benefit one and all not only the doer but also as many others around him. Being good does not mean pleasing others or pleasing oneself.

It means being pure honest and simple, not complicated and confusing which will send the wrong signals.

Religions have the right intent to do good but religions attract men like insects attracted to the flower for nectar of personal gain. This is alluded by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨.

They even may do good for their own good and not really for the good of others. This may arguably still be good but how good can this be?

Goodness have to do with purity. It is about holistic approach to mind, body and spirit. Give this further thought.

Well, the hint is that we need to be good in the mind to be good in the spirit. We cannot be good to the spirit and mind without being good to the body. Too much or too little good to the body is not good. Being good in mind without being good to the body is not good for the spirit.

Purity is the basic goodness and requires us to be good in mind body and spirit. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says is in all religions if we care to be good at knowing better that this is so. This is the message of the oneness of religions - the ultimate divine oneness of purpose despite the varied ways of religions.

He descended in 1969 to remind the world on this, so that all can not only be good but better than good in their respective religions. All religions mind you are same though different and unique in their respective ways.

The greatest folly is for men to be in conflict in the name of religions. Men should see all as one and each as unique and outstanding in its own way. The differences are there to appeal to the differences among men. This is the way for God and saints to reach out to more.

God and saints try to be more good than good by offering us with wide choice of religions and sages. Let us not undermine their pure divine intention with our far from desirable and frankly incredible human weakness which at times border on being inhuman.

Just do take a look around at the ridiculous conflicts in the name of religion and in the name of God and saints. This is simply not making sense.

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.
