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!.

The way to go in life

No 1033 of Living Life Series 1

Life must go on and we must make do with what we have. We can make things happen if we are modest with what we want.

There will ever be issues that irk and upset us. Life may not turn out as desired. No point crying over spilled milk. Just move on and that way we can stay ahead.

Do not be over the moon with good things that come our way. We have to come down to ground level again and may even have the rude shock that we need to begin all over again in some way or other.

Remember to accept both what we have and what we do not have. That way we will be more collated and in one piece. That way we are at peace with life - the yin and the yang and the ups and downs.

We must learn and gain from the downs and be cheered by the ups. Have this balanced approach in every aspect of life. This is depicted by the image of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 with feet atop and balancing the elements - the polarities and contingencies of life.

Take the middle ground and we will neither be worse off nor carried away with exuberance by the ups. Either will somehow mire us down to dream and ruminate and we will end up ruminating life rather than living life.

Live life and move on. Be at peace with life. Take small steps and that is easier and more sustainable. Do not stay put or backtrack. Go easy but still move on.

Yes, not only must we live life peacefully but we must move on in like manner. That is the way to go in life.

Be at peace and have the peace. Be mindful of this. No point trying to sit in lotus position to meditate only to be restless in life on coming out of seated meditation.

Do not end up using meditation as the escape route. Instead, meditate and be mindful in every moment and second of life as we go about life. That is the way to go in life. Be ever mindful to do so. Be mindful of the moment. This is the way to go to have more peace and life.

Well, well, why bother if what you believe or the religion you are in is different from the ones of others (or not as logical and profound) so long as you can make it. Religion and what we believe are just means to the end - the peace in life.

You may know a little but that little may let you go far. You may know so much but that much may bury and mire you down and you go no where. You may be good at debating with the much more you know but what matters is whether you can make it to have peace. Some know little but have arrived at peace

All religions are one in showing way to peace never mind if what they say may be different and may not seem to reconcile with one another. There is always the oneness of religions. This did the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 say. The purpose of his descent in 1969 and his mission is to show that all religions are one in saving souls though they are different in their respective ways.

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.
