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!.

No one is perfect not even the best. Normal to be not perfect

No 1495 of Living Life Series 1

Nobody is perfect even for those with big following of a million or more fans.

They may see him as perfect. But the truth is that no one is perfect and imperfection is normal.

If we accept this truth, we can accept others who are imperfect and others can accept us if they realise that it is abnormal for individual to be perfect.

Even God and saints are not perfect but those who idolise God, saints or man cannot accept this.

They even think that God and saints will not tolerate imperfections of humanity and this will incur the wrath of God or saints.

That will give the wrong impression of God and saints. If they have wrath for the weaknesses of men, then by being angry and exacting fear in men, God and saints will be exactly not what they are deemed to be.

This will make them appear more imperfect than humans. This will be demeaning and creating devils out of God and saints.

Give this issue some reflection and we will come out better from realising the reality of imperfection and appreciate God and saints even the more.

We will not fall into the bad habit of idolising anyone, be he God, saint or man.

We will learn from what good they want to share with us and not expect him to be good in doing good he shares or tells us.

Nobody is perfect even if their followers and admirers think he is so. The earlier one realises this, the better one will be.

If such people are in religion, they will be better in whatever religion they may be in. This is the sharing from Bo Tien 武天.

Normal to be imperfect. We do not wait for others to be perfect before we can work with them or before we can be friends with them.

Never judge lest ye be judged. Learn from the good and not so good of others and be better than what we are.

Be mindful that we too have the good and the not so good in us. We can learn from this as well.

Life is the best gospel or holy texts. Life is God. Life is the truth.

Bo Tien 武天 shares this with everyone whatever religion he or she may be in or even if none. Everyone can then be better than what he or she is, in life and in whatever religion he or she may be in.

No one is perfect not even the best. Normal to be not perfect. Only if we accept this can there be the mission by Bo Tien 武天 to enable people to be better than what they are.

The two appointed elder pioneers of Bo Tien 武天 mission, Philip and Ling are good examples.

Bo Tien 武天 says that if he so decides, even an offender or criminal can be chosen as leader of mission and has the right pre-requisites.

Bo Tien 武天 can train him in many ways. No one should judge what he has decided unless that one is someone who needs more help.

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.
