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!.

The lord saint and the Word are one

No 521 of Living Life Series 1

Lord Bo Tien

You may not know him

even if he is beside you

or you are in his temple.

You may know him

even if he is not with you

and you are not in a temple

with his holy name

so long as you live in the Word

for like God, he is the Word.

The good lord did say that

the image and the Word are one

"The image is the Word

and the Word is the image."

The balancing and staying atop

the yin and yang is in his image

with his feet on the elements.

Know the Word

and know God and saints

like Lord Bo Tien.

God is the Word
and the Word is God
This did all religions say.

A lord saint and the Word are one
God and the Word are one and same

God, a lord saint and the Word
are one to those who know
This is the holy trinity
Three in one and one in three

With holiness and purity.
there is no border and no divide
God, saints and the Word
are one but yet are three.

Religions too are one
but yet are separate
They are one in God
but each with its own saint.
rules, practices and tenets
All in one and one in all.

This is the one truth
Lord Bo Tien wants us to see.
This is the basic inner truth
behind all religions and sects
we must all know.

This is indeed the Word.
The saint and the Word are one
Go for the Word
and live by the Word.
Then the lord is with you
and you with the lord.

Then even if far from a temple,
you are near to the lord.
The far is near and the near far.
More can be less and less more.

The concrete temple is less concrete
than the concrete Word in man
who is near though far,
who has more with less and
who lives by Tao and is at peace

Whoever the lord saint
so decides to choose
to train is his will.

The less worthy may be chosen
Only Heaven knows why.
Judge not lest we be judged.

Both the wrong and the right,
the simply awful and the lovable
all are one in God and saints.

And the Word is the lord
The lord saint and the Word
are one and ever one after all;
always spinning as one whole
like the men in the congregation
in the shrine hall of the lord,
ever in one color, voice and heart

That was and should ever be
"Why can't this for every day?"
But only when he descends
This the lord saint did say.

His next descent will only be
when there is unison and oneness
in the lord saint and the Word
Omitofo always and ever more

To all heavenly saints we greatly adore.
We believe in your existence
And thy glory is in the thought of men.
We seek for thy protection and guidance
so as to live better for the time to come.

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.
