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!.

Religion promotes truth and not greed

No 1675 of Living Life Series 1.

Never get carried away by religion. Religion should make us more grounded to life. If we find only joy in our thoughts and not joy in actual life, this is evidence that we are carried away by religion.

Never be carried away that we will strike the first prize lottery draw and started deciding how we can use the money.

Religion often tempts men with fantasies which appear real in the minds of believers. Everyone is promised and assured of getting what they want in religion. This is too good to be true and the best part is that they do nothing but just believe, ask and be given.

Our ancestors too ask to get the luck of the draw in first prize lottery when they pray to God and heavenly saints at a temple.

But blame not religion for this. Men want the paradise and the best. Who would not want the best? Religion just have to rise to meet the greed of men.

This is not the making of God but the making of men who will not go to religion unless they can get what they want. Well, if everyone can get the jackpot, who will in their right mind not go for it?

Why must religion capitalise on the greed and weakness of men? This as said is not the fault of God but the fault of men.

Men are attracted to religion like insects to a flower for nectar, only to cause the flower to wither. Bo Tien 武天 says that many just follow this trend and flow downstream with the trend.

But to the discerning few, they go against the current and go upstream to the upper source for clear water. They work for what they want and not expect freebies. They are not driven by greed but are level headed. They stay calm at heart and not easily given to temptation of the ego.

They cultivate what Bo Tien 武天 refers to as the inner peace which promotes insight.

Be insightful with religion. Do not let greed be the driver of life. Let inner peace be the driver and you will better know where to go and how to go. You will have the simple logic of how to be good. This Bo Tien 武天 says is the Inner Truth in all 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.
