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!.

More on Failure, Love and Inner Peace

No 1191 of Living Life Series 1

Has life failed us or have we failed life? No one is a failure if we value life and have inner peace come what may. Be truly on top of life of ups and downs by having inner peace. This if we care to dwell in depth is the enlightened approach of saints like Buddha and Jesus.

This is the inner truth in all religions that the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 wants us to know so that we be better in life - better at what we are in our different lives and religions.

What others have that we may not have matters not. It matters only if we have inner peace and accept life as it unfurls.

As sure as there is the up and down and as sure as there is sunrise and sunset over and over again, surely no one is a failure if there is inner peace. So cheer up and be liberated by inner peace.

Never say anyone is a failure. That will add salt to his emotional wounds.

The real or greater failure is not to tell him or her that she is still valued and loved by parents, family and friends even if he or she failed in a job, examination, relationship health or financial venture.

Love can bring support and contribute to the peace of spirit - the inner peace. Suicides and murders happen because of no love and fellowship.

Ultimately what counts is not just love but inner peace. Even if no love but inner peace is strong and present, there is equanimity - inner peace that is not emotion driven but independent of emotion. Inner peace has in the long run to be wholly logic driven and not emotion driven.

No one is a failure if there is inner peace. Love and fellowship helps if inner peace is lacking. Family especially parents and siblings can mitigate and sense of failure. But inner peace is best for the long haul. Inner peace brings cheer come what may.

Person with inner peace can better shower love to those affected by the vissicitudes of life like praise blame, honor dishonor, gain and loss. All ups do not stay up and when downs happen, life can be tormenting if there is no inner peace. No need to blame anyone or cry aloud to God and telling God, "Why have you forsaken me?"

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.
