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!.

Abide by teachings and not be disgrace

No 971 of Living Life Series 1

It is a sad sad day indeed if the people running the temple of a lord saint behave as though the teachings of the lord saint meant little to them and they end up doing the exact opposite from the teachings of the lord saint.

One such teaching is the teaching of love and love must be extended to those who are ignorant or have done wrong. Another is to respect elders and those senior to them.

There is no hurt to God and saints when one has not been right. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says God and saints are not hurt by the wrong of men and will not retaliate but instead welcome them to stay on in the house of God to better themselves.

There is no sin as God is never affected or hurt and will not have anger for those who have done wrong even in the house of God and saints. They did wrong to others and themselves but not to God and saints. Men can never hurt God and saints so long as indeed they are God and saints.

Other men at the wits end of such men must be like God and saints by not harboring anger for such men and wanting to seek redress. This is more so in any house of God.

It is unthinkable to even harbor ill-will and for the very men who run the house of God to do so is wrong, let alone act with disdain towards such men. Not tolerating such men is bad enough and to actually act against such men with ill-will is even worse.

Surely God or the saint of that house of God would not want the men running the house of God to stoop so low. Never mind if there is no love but to have hatred for such men is really disturbing.

It would be tantamount to the teaching of God and saints falling on deaf ears. But the reality is that they have heard but having heard and understood, they think there is no need to live up to the teachings. Well, that is men.

When they run a house of God and saints, they think they can be the exception. Once they are at the rostrum and run a house of God, they get swollen headed and act as though they speak and act for God and saints.

God and saints must back them up and not they back up God and saints to uphold the good name of God and saints. They are no longer humble servants of God and saints. It seems that God and saints must listen to them and be at their beck and call.

What do we expect when men come to a house of God for agenda other than spirituality? Blame not the flower for insects coming to it for nectar. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says.

In a house of God and saints, at least uphold the teachings and not be a disgrace. At the very least, there must be respect and love for elders and pioneers even if they are not exemplary.

But alas there will ever be insects coming to a flower for nectar. Blame not the flower.

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.
