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!.

Inner peace is the answer to life in relgion

No 1065 of Living Life Series 1

A moment comes and goes
and another is born
What is a moment's loss
leads to a moment gained.

Why mourn over the loss
when there is new moment
we can gain and can have
but that will soon be gone.

Gain and loss are like twins
they do go hand in hand.
What is needed is peace,
neither be down by loss
nor be up by the gain.

Life and death is like that.
Death and life are yet one.
Gain loss are too the same
Shouldn't make us go insane

What matters is the peace
come any gain or loss
and come what may they say.
Then we can be at ease

No need to cry in pain
with loss of the moment
nor be jumping with joy
in gain of next moment.

A moment's lost brings on
a new moment to gain.
A moment of gain is
but a moment to lose.

Life will always rotate
from loss to gain and loss
once again on and on
This does make us more cross

Be like the pure image
of Bo Tien the good lord
The doctrine is the image
The image is the doctrine.

Be atop and balance
the elements two at feet
both the gain and the loss
and have the ease and peace.

Inner peace not affected
by all the gain and loss
Peace within come what may
This is what the saints say

This is in religions
inner truth behind all.
This all must know and awe.
This is in life after all.

A man may be the saint
and even God in man
but he will still face blame
even if he has fame

He might not be a king
yet was feted like one
but crucified at end
only to rise again.

Such indeed is our life
Why be at its mercy
and end up at wit's end
only to groan in pain

Be at ease and have peace
come what may in anyway
Ride and do be atop
the yin and the yang lot.

Do not be the ridden
and just be thrown around
by the yin and the yang
and going round and round

Do be just the rider
and hope not the ridden.
Be on top and like God
and not the trodden lot

Let's carry no burden
or the cross of our life
but stay on top alright
and live life that more light

Be immune to issues -
be this some gain or loss
honor or dishonor
and what have we they say.

For many new to God,
they do need the lord saints
to bear the cross for them.
Jesus lord leads the lot.

This will be till such times
they learn and tread the Way
not to carry the cross of life
but grow the inner peace.

The lord is the doctrine
The doctrine is the lord
The doctrine is the Way
Way truth and light are one

Logic rings in the Way
Call this common sense Tao
Tao is in many faiths
This Lord Bo Tien did say

Wherever no Tao be
Men are so unworthy
of God and any saint
Men more insane than sane.

No inner peace in them
They do sue and be sued
though of the same temple
disgraceful to its saint.

Alas like great ocean
not sullied by mud flow
lord saints never tainted
and polluted by men.

Lord Bo Tien and temple
no exception at all
A great ocean like him
can contain mud of men.

Temple with worthy members

His mission goes afar
The world is his temple
Religions as pillars
This blog is that temple

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.
