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!.

Religions many like the colors of the lord's armour

No 1336 of Living Life Series 1

The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that his image is the Word and The Word is his image. What is meant by this? It means that idolising him is not the end but practicing what he tells us is.

The dragon chair he sits on as depicted by his image is about two dragons supporting a pearl. He is supported by his dragon chair. He is the pearl - the Word.

What is the Word? the Word is the Inner Truth behind all teachings - all religions. It is in life. Religions like life is colorful and comes in different colors like the many colors of his general's attire.

Do not be mistaken that he is a heavenly general. His image allows him to portray the Word. Whatever the color or religion, what is important is to know how to be good and arrive at peace.

We need to balance the polarities - the positive and negative - the yang and the yin as depicted by the Bagua. This is the Inner Truth common to and underlying all religions and sects. The dragons are the yin and the yang.

We must be at peace and be still even if life goes round and round and in flux. This is what inner peace is all about.

Insight of Inner Truth leads to cultivation of inner peace. The ultimate peace is sainthood.

Inner Peace is the Way the Truth and the Light. This is the teaching of all saints. Men must have in-depth understanding at various levels when Jesus says, "I am the Way, Truth and Light."

It matters not what level we are in. Ultimately, all will arrive at the same Inner Peace.

Because men see the same at different levels and perspectives, there are different denominations within the same religion. There will be more in time to come. This is inevitable. This is like the many colors of the armour of the image of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨.

But be mindful that whatever religion one is in, one will one day either now or in future life arrive at ultimate inner peace - sainthood. The different religions and sects add color to life and lead more to sainthood in the long run.

One is good, two is better and more is best. This is as should be - be it in life or in religion. So wise up and live and let live. Stay focussed and be on track and on target... Do not be sidetracked and be lost.

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.
