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!.

Any problem is a learning in itself

No 1076 of Living Life Series 1

The solution to a problem may often be the problem itself. This does not mean we should avoid solutions. Half a solution is better than none.

Any problem be it the problem to be solved or the problem arising from the solution is problem enough. We may dislike problems but any problem is learning in itself.

Without problems we will not learn. Without solutions however problematic they may be, we cannot move on. We cannot progress. We will be better off with each and every issue we face in life.

There is no one without problems. Having no problem is a problem in itself. God and heavenly saints make it their problem to help those with problems.

Their solution is to help as many as they can. They cannot help all. That is the problem that their solution to help many will surface.

But the problem of God and saints are good-to-have problems. Being divine, they don't have problems of their own. Their helping us is their problem.

Their solution to this still leaves much to be desired. They know this. They cannot even reach out to all though they have many vehicles or means to do so.

The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 echoes that there are many religions and sects but this is not enough. One religion definitely will not do. Many will be good but this solution too creates problems as well such as conflicts between and within religions.

Life is itself a problem. Life is problematic. That is a truth of life. There will always face mountains, seas, the merciless sun and droughts of life.

Any problem is learning in itself. Well, in a way God and saints are learning from the problems of how to help men and beings. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that the problems of beings are many and plentiful.

There are seemingly endless problems. There are solutions but solutions meet with problems as well. But what matters is the intention - the love and the actual compassion for beings.

This is divine and is already perfect though far from ideal when we can only help many but not all. That too is a problem which must beg a solution - perhaps a good-to-have problem for God and heavenly saints.

It is ever their problem to help all beings even those in hell and even those some refer to as the devils. Won't this be endless? To them it is their mission - to save all - yes indeed to save all souls. They will, even if this seems endless and eternal.

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.
