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!.

God is not man and will not judge the way man does

No 1178 of Living Life Series 1

We are God damn lucky that God has no wish to judge and punish. God will not adjudicate what we do into what are right and what wrong.

Man may think it is God's prerogative to do that. If God judges, then he must act. When that happens, life will be so regimented and worse still dictated.

Everyone will fall short of the ideal. All will be damned. Won't that damn God himself. God will end up imperfect and then he is no God. He will be like man then.

Man judges and the more man does so, the more ill-will and mistakes man makes. Thus we should know God knows better than men. He will not judge the way man so often do.

There is freewill and we freewheel our way through life. We reap what we sow.

God and saints just look upon and guide whereas man wants his way and man judges others based on whether they fit into his way and plan. If every man does this, won't this add to the problems of man?

Man is a creature of wants. Man wants others to fit into his plan and his wants. Even God must do so and fit into man's idea of God.

Man must learn to be at peace with what is in the world, be it other men, beings or nature. If man plays God the wrong way and disturb the balance, well problems will be created.

The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says the problems of men are many and plentiful. This is due to ignorance and the ego-centric approach of every man. Man must fit into the world and not the world fit into him - his plans and his wants.

Even in any of his temples, the problems of men are due to ego. Men want others to fit into their plans and wants. They cannot live and let live. They can never find peace.

How to when man wants to judge and to make matters worse, don't want to be judged. Man thinks others are in no position to judge him. Why then is he in the position to judge others?

Surely, man must know that it is human to err and for a man to forgive that man is no longer human but divine. So if God judges and takes our shortcomings dead serious, he is no longer divine. To err is human, to forgive is divine.

Obviously God is divine. He is forgiving but to say that he is forgiving is to jump the gun. God don't even need to judge. So, why is there the need to forgive when he won't even judge. He sees us as learning from life - learning to be better in life. God will not judge the way man does so. God is no man.

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.
