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!.

Are we up to it even with religion?

No 1299 of Living Life Series 1

While the warriors or guardian angels in any temple or church are doing their jobs in earnest, the people are often not up to it.

Thus when we go to a house of God or saint, we do not go for the men there. We do not look up to the men for the lead. We go for God and saints and not the men in any temple.

The honest question we should ask is this. Are we up to it?

Men waste time Heaven cannot afford to do so. There are simply too many to be saved.

The ravages of sheer ignorance and complacency take its toll. More are lost than saved in of all places the house of God.

Even death is soon forgotten and cannot serve as wake-up call.

That is the irony of it all. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨wants us to wake up to the reality and true nature of life. Seriously, are we up to it?

Men go for more of the same that they have in life outside religion and as said in of all places religions. When they ask for worldly blessings and they work for these, they get it. But after sometime, they ask, "So what. These are not good enough. I am still not contented."

To them, this is good and divine. This they call is gift of God -divine discontent. This drives them to go for more, unfortunately more of the flesh and of the world and less of God and the peace of God that is out of the world but reachable in this world.

Are we up to it even with religion? Why are we near to it and yet far? This was referred to by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨. How do we make good and be up to it?

Looks like this is not easy. That is why the good lord says that the mission to save souls through the respective religions is by Heaven and not by men.

It is not through giving up religion or changing religion like changing clothes. It is by insight.

It is about how to be better in our respective religions. It is about how to have less to have more. It is about having inner peace which God and saints have.

It is not about giving up with the world. It is not about being at the mercy of the world of wants. Then we are near to more peace and being with the world but on top of it. Then we will have more though with less. This would be simply marvellous.

So please grow out of discontent and not have more and more and yet find life empty and wanting. Do not hold on to the deceptive divine discontent. How divine at all can this be? It is in a way but not for long.

Do move on, learn from this and go for inner peace when less is more indeed. But please remember, we cannot go for nothing. We cannot give up life. If we do, then we are not up to it?

If we do, we are nuts. We will go bonkers and be out of our mind. We will not be logical. We will be far from Tao 道 or common sense - the way to inner peace. Common sense is in all religions or there will be not only no inner peace for the individuals in a religion but also no peace for others in the other religions.

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.
