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!.

One and yet not one but peace all the same

No 1029 of Living Life Series 1

The problems of man are many and plentiful. Man creates more problems for himself.

Men even create problems with God. Man create problems even in the understanding of God and saints and their roles in the lives of men. They at times even blame God for the cause of their problems.

God is not the initiator of problems. Man is the problem.

Man needs God to help but man must understand why he has problems even with God and saints. Men expect too much and think that they can depend totally on God and saints. Yes, they do.

But not to worry though. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that those who seek the blessing of God and saints, God and saints will come to them. There is no qualification. You don't have to have any but believing and faith will be advantage.
Issues big and small will be no issues. But there is element of fate or karma. This must be accepted.

Even then with the blessings of God and saints, even big issues if cannot be no issues will at least be less issues. They will be small issues.

Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨adds that the main issue is of men themselves. The issues and problems of men are many and plentiful. Men creates more problems along the way of life. They need to understand why this is so.

Everyone needs to reflect on life and on how problems arise. Man must know himself before he can know the world.

The sages of old in Tao 道 tradition say that there is the yin and the yang - the positive and the passive elements in life. Problems arise when there is no balance. Problems arise when man expects that he can leave this to God and saints.

Man often fails to know that there must be balance of yin and yang within him before he can be atop and balance the yin and yang in the world - in life. God and saints have this balance and have peace. This is reflected in the image of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 with feet atop and balancing yin and yang.

Man too must do the same. This balance needs to be cultivated. Go for mindfulness of this.

Go for a bit more of balance and peace. Go for the moment. Even a moment of peace for now is good enough. Many moments add up to more moments of peace.

God and saints will help and bless us. We must learn to bless ourselves as well - not only our individual selves but our fellow men as well.

Everyone has some skills and blessings which others don't have. We can always be blessings to one another. We can help one another.

We must individually cultivate Tao but if we can get together to do so, it would be better. Like what the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 say, everyone must be a candle flame to light up his own life as well as the lives of others. A collection of candle flames would be better at that.

That is why there is the 49 days of purity observance before the Mission Day of the good lord on the thirteen day of the ninth lunar month.

Mission Day is the yearly anniversary of his descent in 1969. He descended in 1969 to show the oneness of purpose of all religions - to save souls.

There is oneness of the way to do so and this is presented in various perspectives through various religions, sects and temples. All are one and yet not one. Men must cultivate the peace in life through any religion of their choice and be better at what religion they are in so as to have more of the peace.

Like religions, all are one and yet not one but all can have peace all the same.

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.
