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 logical, love all, favor none and champion none

No 1154 of Living Life Series 1

Favor no religion and champion not any. Many would not expect this of many men let alone saint. This is because they go by the word of men and not what is logical or common sense Tao 道.

In the first place would a saint of the most high favor any? A saint will not. There are no selected or chosen ones and even those in hell and the ungodly are near to the saint though far from God and saints.

This did the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 proclaim. He is a heavenly saint of God but favors no religion or champion any specific one.

What he set out to do is to ensure as many know the common teaching behind all saints and all religions that are of men and by men.

No need to be beholden to any or to idolize any. Of what use is it to idolize any man or saint and to argue till kingdom come on who is the better or best of men or saints?

How can one heavenly saint be the only saint and all others are not saints at all? Well, there are men who think like that. They make ungodly saint out of a saint.

Idolizing whether one saint or many saints does not make one good. It is more important that we be good - have no ill-will, greed or wrong views and learn to love and see things as they are. This is what we need to go for.

We should not go for gaining favor of God and saint but shallow and lacking in goodness - in pure thoughts and actions. We need to have pure hearts.

If we pursue purity, surely we will love all men and all beings and all religions. We favor no religion and champion not any. Have the logic or Tao 道 to love all religions, favor none and champion none.

But for many, they need to start off with one and then grow into all. This is the road map of spirituality for many.

Even any saint would have to do the same - start off with one and grow into all if he wants to be part of mission to save souls. Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 is but one of many.

He endeavours to make everyone to be better at what they are, better in their respective culture and religion. He started off by being a deity of Chinese culture and enlightening those in this culture beyond what others consider as mumbo jumbo.

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.
