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!.

Man can be worse than the Devil

No 1233 of Living Life Series 1

The devout comes to a temple to pray and respect God and saints. But those with personal agenda comes to a temple like insects to a flower for nectar. This was mentioned by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨.

This is not as expected but still acceptable as most come for nectar anyway even if they say they come to pray. It is alright if people just come and go. But some will not do just that.

To make matters worse, they fight for nectar and even want to run and take ownership of the temple for God. That makes a mess of what we would expect in a house of God.

But these may well be the very men who started off good and worthy of God. They built up the temple but they build up their pride as well. Pride and ego had the better of them.

That's it and the rest we should know. But those who looked up to them see the God and saint in them and not the Devil of the ego in them, they too may not be better. They make demons out of such devils. It boils down to one thing.

They see the God in them. They mistake man as God. Man is man and God is God. Man is man and saint is saint. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says men in any religion should well know.

Otherwise man will bedevil the house of God and open doors to the Devil. Invite not the Devil of Ego to the house of God. Man can be worse than the Devil.

Bring not the ego to the house of God. The ego is worse than the one we refer to as the Devil. The Devil often takes the brunt for the wrongs of men.

But alas, God and saints think differently from men. To God and saints, the wayward are the very ones who need to be with God and saints, never mind if they are far from ideal to be in the house of God.

If God can accommodate Devil and demons, how much more will they accommodate the devil of the ego in men? God will have his ways and his plans. Leave matters in the good hand of God and saints.

The additional advice given by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 is that we must obey the laws of the land and the laws of Heaven. We can break the laws of Heaven but never break the laws of the land.

Heaven may give leeway and space but it is a different matter with the laws of the land. Break not the laws of the land in the name of God and saints. Even God and saints leave matters with regards to the wrongs of men to the land.

Never mind if men can be worse than the devil because of the ego and greed in men. When men takes matters into their own hands in the house of God, they often break the laws of the land and have to learn the hard way. God and saints perhaps don't even need to lift a finger.

God and saints are loving. They will not find fault with men even if men are at fault - even if men can be worse than the Devil in the very house of God.

Even the laws of the land no longer go for any eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth as many who rule over the land have been influenced by God to adopt a more humane and perhaps even godly approach. There is no need to go the way of the devil to deal with the devil in a man.

Leadership mentality must be many cuts above that of the men they lead or govern. For this they must develop more the god in man and not just being man - never of course being more devil to deal with the devil in man.

But of course, the laws of the land cannot be the same as the laws of God. Give to God what is due to God and to man what is due to man.

Whatever happens, man must not end up worse than the Devil what more in the very house of God. This will demean the sanctity of the house of God.

But it goes to show that there is loving kindness by God and saints be it for men bedeviled by ego or for the Devil. Neither the Devil nor God is responsible for Hell. Hell is the making of men bedeviled by the ego.

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.
