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!.

Three incense sticks to offer to the lord

No 1095 of Living Life Series 1

With three incense sticks
to invite the lord saint
With three incense sticks
to pray to the lord

We kneel and bow
with knees bent and in pain
to you the lord saint
to relieve our load and pain

With sincere heart in prayer,
the lord will know
You are lord after all
We all know for sure

With heart to seek out you lord,
you the lord will ever come
This you lord have assured
and ever be with us in our need

To hear us out
on issues big or small
here now or anywhere
or in time to come

Issues will be no issues
with blessings of the lord
as we take them in our pace
with you to hold our hands

Big issues will be small issues
Even if they cannot be no issue
All issues that there be
will not be issue to us at all

Guide us lord
to live by the Word
For you are the Word
and the Word is you lord

That is how to have the peace
that makes life a breeze
Peace is all we need
Peace be for one and all

O lord, you are our lord
come storms or calm seas
With you around
what more do we need

O lord, you shelter us in storm
and bring us to calm seas
for respite and rest
to be ready for the next test

O lord, you are here for us
To strengthen us at all times
To have the Word
And to be more like you

Pray to live the Word
and have the peace
in storms and calm seas of life
and with all men and beings be

O lord, with you around
You guide us to clear our doubts
Do give us time
and more rope to learn

O lord, pray we learn
not to have guilt and fear
even if we be wrong
for that would be more wrong

All we need is to be strong
To right the wrong in us
no place for guilt or fear
no sin to God and saints at all

We need only to do good
avoid wrong
and be pure in all three
thoughts speech and deeds

This is the teaching of Heaven
God and all saints.
Simple this may seem
But is all we need

This is the inner truth behind all
religions, sects and more.
Truth too for everyone
with religion or none

This is the Word

and the Word is God and lord

to bring peace to one and all

and to save all anywhere

Life is a breeze
if we live by the Word
and be the Word
Peace there be come what may

More so with God and all saints

as the roof of the temple of life

the whole wide world we are in

with religions as the pillars for all

O lord, we believe in all
all saints and all religions

We lean not on one but on all

yes, all pillars of your temple lord

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.
