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!.

Be at peace with life, birth and death

No 1036 of Living Life Series 1

The future of the world belongs to the young. The world has to take care of the young. Without the young, religion will lose its appeal, dynamism and have no future. A temple where only the old goes to and only the old are active is an ageing temple and will lack drive and passion. There is the need to rejuvenate the world and the temple of men in any religion that exists under under heaven.

The true temple for men is not by men but by God and saints for men and all beings. It is not just for the young or for the old. It is for all. It has a life of its own. It's liveliness depends not on the young but on itself.

Where is this temple? Well, all are in this temple. The world and universe we are in is that temple. Call this the universal temple. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that heaven is the roof of the temple. Religions of men are the pillars. All are in this temple. It is where we live and life is the teacher or gospel.

Temple created by men depends on the world.
It is not as majestic as the world it is in.
The world is the universal temple.
It is the temple by God and saints.
Even a simple hut as a temple
will look grand in world setting.

We learn consciously and unconsciously from life. That is life. Life is the spirituality we go for. Running away or denying life is far from gainful. Over living to the nines is ruinous and tiresome.

We neither die while alive nor try to get every morsel out of life. That will not be good and we have no peace. We go for the peace by neither dying to life nor trying not to let go of life. We are with life.

We go for peace from birth to death and from death to birth. We are at peace with life, birth and death. We are atop life and its polarities as depicted by the image of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 with feet on the elements.

Then we do not cling on to life, we do not fear death and we welcome death when due in the same way we welcome birth. We are at peace with birth, life and death. We will be welcome by saints and all, be it in life, birth or death.

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.
