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!.

Find peace in self and true religion will find you

No 1171 of Living Life Series 1

Life is what it is at the moment. A moment well lived and appreciated is better than a million moments lived but wasted. Go for mindfulness and peace of the moment.

Only then can we be aware of the little blessings of life that we often take for granted till we are at wits end - perhaps in despair or at death bed.

But life is never easy. We are in life like in a marathon. It is not the end point that counts. It is being in the marathon and relishing every minute of it.

Be at peace while running life and be aware of the changing scenes of life as we move on in life. Be at peace.

Peace must be there for us to have the full life. Peace is when we are atop of life. Peace is what we need for life.

Never be pissed off by life nor piss on life. We will never be at peace that way. We will never be happy.

In any religion, the teaching is to treasure life. Whatever we can have is good enough. We can have more but let not having less piss us off. Move on and not stay put or backtrack.

Don't wait to be at peace only at the end of the marathon. Be at peace even at any given moment of life. Then though far from the end, we are near as we already have the peace even before the end.

The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that those who can be at peace whatever little of it is near even if far from God and saints.

Those who think they have are near to God and saints are far if they are not at peace with life and with themselves. Peace is all we need to be near to God and saints.

Never try to find peace in religion. Find peace in yourself and religion will find you. You will be the beacon for the many in religion.

Religions will instead look for you. No need for you to look for religion. With peace, no need to look for religion but religion will look for you.

Find not peace in religion then go for peace in self first. If you had not done this, religion will not be of much help to you. If this makes no sense to you, it is because you are not at peace in life and even with religion, you are far from peace.

Religion makes no difference to you if you are not at peace. Religion may make you even further from peace if you are misguided by passionate men who rouse your emotion.

They indulge in populist and alarmist approach to whip up emotion. They make you emotion driven and not logic driven. How to have peace then? You must calm down and reflect. God bless.

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.
