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!.

Bliss more than heavenly anywhere, even in Hell

No 758 of Living Life Series 1

When life is unbearable, man is in hell. Hell is not just the Hell down there but the hell that man has in life when he cannot make life tick and make ends meet.

But to the man of spirituality, he can live in dire circumstances and still connect with spiritual peace amid the harshness of life. Even if he is in hell, he can have peace and realization of the true nature of life. He comes to terms and is at peace most importantly with himself and the life that he has - even if he is in actual living Hell.

Instances abound in Buddhist scriptures of The Buddha referring to those in Hell who have attained the first stage of enlightenment.

Hell is not the making of God and saints but the making of Hell. If one who is in Hell can see the light and be awakened to the inner peace of enlightenment, then he has tasted bliss of enlightenment that is more than heavenly as even many in Heaven have yet to have such bliss.

There is bliss more than heavenly for the wise even if they are in Hell, be it in hell on earth or anywhere.

The man of Tao or Way is at peace with life come what may. He is not affected by the world in him and the world he is in. He is atop the yin and yang within him and the world he lives in.

He has the inner peace to deal with life and does not wait for life to give him peace. He basks in bliss of inner peace that even many in Heaven may not have.

This is attainable for anyone and in any religion. Religion is just the means to the end and not the end in itself. The doctrine or way to inner peace is in all religions. This is the inner truth message of Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) - the messenger of God to reawaken men to the inner truth in all religions.

Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨)

His mission is to awaken men of religions to the inner truth in life so that they can have inner peace through their respective religions or even if they have none.

He is not here to start new religion, sect or temple. That his image is in a temple with his name is just incidental to show that even in traditional style Chinese temple, inner peace is still within reach.

But his temple does not look like the run-of-mill temple though it has a Chinese temple name. Cheers.

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.
