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!.

Know gospel of life more than the written gospels.

No 930 of Living Life Series 1

The little we know if we know it well and live by it is way better than the more we know and end up lost in the forest of knowledge and practicing nothing.

The one who knows not religion but lives the humble life, thankful of what he has and treasuring every day of life is more worthy of God and saints. He is more pure than the man at the rostrum who talks aloud about God and saints but unable to live up to the Word he so profoundly talks at length about.

The young child who knows nothing but knows how to be good is a blessing to the parents. The handicap who treasures life and accepts what he can have is a blessing to himself and a shining torch of hope to others. The blind who cannot see but sees the need to value whatever life he has is more worthy than those who can see but see not the blessings of life.

Many only know how to grumble and rumble. Surely they will tumble. They have eyes but are blind to life.

The greatest miracle is to bring insight to those blind to life and its innate blessings. To be alive is a blessing. To live another day is a joy.

Don't take life for granted. Live the simple life. Learn from the less endowed. Often they know how to be happy and those with more seem unhappy. Less can be more and more less. There is this truth in life.

Life is the living gospel that the gospels of religions cannot match up to. This is in all religions and is emphasized by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨. We don't need to know more from the written gospels. We only need to know life and not the written gospels.

The good lord says that the issues of men are many and plentiful and this is due to men. If men can fathom this, not only will they be lighter with less problems, they will not be perturbed but do what they can and be at peace with life. Life is rich in truth. Truth is in life. Let us treasure life as the living gospel of life. Let us be living the gospel of life.

Even the clergy increasingly tap into the richness of life rather than the gospels in their sermons. Indeed and without reservations, life as the living gospel supersedes all written gospels. The danger however is that the clergy who capitalized on life may well be looked up to by the congregation more as saints than the founder saints or sages. They may end up idolized.

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.
