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!.

Miracles are beyond and across religions

No 1164 of Living Life Series 1

God and saints make their presence known through miracles to give hope and faith.

When men pray for blessings, the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says issues become no issues. Big issues will be small issues even if they be no issues. These are miracles, more so when the those with cancer and chronic illness recover.

Many have prayed directly to God and saints. They got healed even when doctors said that there was no prospect of healing - only control.

One of the contributors to the Living Life Series is a medical doctor with hypertension for decades as well as irregular heart beats which seemed to be resistant to medication and needed procedural intervention by cardiologists. He turned down the option of intervention.

He prayed not only to Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 but also to all saints and to his surprise he ended up with needing less medicine and now is virtually off medicine - only on low dose propranolol 10 mg twice a day. At such dose, it is not meant to control blood pressure.

The other medicine he is on is carbimazole 5 mg daily to keep abay return of tendency for hyperthyroidism. He was strongly advised on radioiodine and thyroid surgery decades ago but turned down the options. He is well. Isn't this a miracle?

Miracles do happen and more likely in a non-institutional setting. God and saints prefer to do so direct with the individual and not through religious institutions.

They are genuine in giving help if they can. They however cannot guarantee or promise as there is element of fate. Also the individual must be realistic.

The individuals must still help themselves and seek medical opinions. But what they and doctors cannot do for them, God and saints can.

God and saints do not perform miracles to glorify themselves but to help men out of compassion. They help anyone who need help and who believe they can help.

Help is not confined to those who are believers of one religion. Help and miracles are rendered beyond and across religions. They are not rendered to glorify God and saints.

God and saints are beyond ego - unlike many men of religion who still have ego. That is why popular religion can misrepresent God and saints. It is without doubt that men are behind the misrepresentation. Men tend to be bias but not God and saints.

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.
