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!.

Let there be the ring of love in life

No 1031 of Living Life Series 1

In life, we must love life and treasure life. This means we do not waste time and resources. We make life work for us as much as we work for life.

Doing nothing and running away from issues will not help. Over concerned and indulgence too will not help. Both will not truly go the mile to promote love for life.

We must go for the middle ground and strengthen this middle ground approach to life. There is need to insulate ourselves from the pulls and push to be away from the middle ground.

We must pull resources and come together to promote love of life. Forming a circle of love as in sitting together in a circle has been the practice of the pioneers of the mission of Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨since the lord's descent in 1969.

It is a practice highlighted during the 49 days of observance of purity before Mission Day every year on the 13th day of the ninth lunar month to commemorate his descent.

Purity and love must go hand in hand. We cannot have ill will if we want goodwill. We cannot love life if we cannot love ourselves and others. All life must be included in the circle of love.

Love should promote purity of mind and body. Purity is the answer to love that has no tint whatsoever of the slightest ill-will to anyone - self included.

Love makes the world go round. But love is not denying life or being slave to the wants and desires. It is the middle ground. We need to form the circle of love to power the middle ground approach.

This is the way to maximize love and keep out as much as possible the wrong ways that negate love rather than enhance love for life. Enhance love with the ring of love. Power the true love for life with the ring of love.

Loving kindness is what religion is all about but without powering the true love for life, religion may end up undoing love for life that religion is meant to promote. Loving kindness is the beginning, the middle and the end-all of life. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 like all heavenly saints says.

Go for the purity of life and love - free from denial, wants and the excessive mores of life. More can be less and less can be more. We must never go for nothing or broke by running away from life. We too must not go for the sky and be uprooted and blown away.

Religion and men must come together to be the circle or ring of love. Let there be the ring of love in life. May the ring of love light up our life.

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.
