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!.

Saint or anti-saint is a learning for men

No 1024 of Living Life Series 1

Tell us who is the real saint
When he was rejected in his time
by the very ones he learnt from
and grew up with in the land

He stood in the temples so long
and said that they were wrong
in what they believed and briefed
He created heresy and disbelief

Such persons there were in history
They see things with a new story
and were strong in their views
The rife they stir others did feel

But they are the likes of Jesus
and the Gautama of the Indus
yet one is Christ the savior lord
and the other Buddha of the gods

They were not fully accepted by men
in the land they grew up then
Good and divine they might be
for their word others could not agree

But beyond the very land
and shores they came from
they were acclaimed by the many
as Christ and Buddha with prompt

Aren't they the very anti-saints
to where on earth they came from
Yet the world today is prompt
to proclaim anti-saints in their men

Their men do think on their own
with twists to teachings they gained
but labelled the anti-saints in the end
and they face risk of being disowned

Who is anti-saint and who is saint
The saint is no saint some say
and their men as well no saint
Let this not be they pray

Men know not the saint in men
Men do not know where they stand
what will happen there and then
with the second coming in the land

The good lord Lord Bo Tien did say
with such doubts of the past and day
These are good for men to gain
The learning that will not be in vain

Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that
he is no saint of any religion
yet is the saintly one.

He starts no religion
and he favors none
but had to start in one.

He shows the oneness
of religions and saints
and wants us to be more good

More good in our religions
We be better in what we are
through knowing the same Word

Word that is behind religions
The Word that is in him
He is also the Word

The Word is the all
The Word is God
God is the Word

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.
