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!.

From God we not have to one we should know

No 1224 of Living Life Series 1

Let there be light and there will be light. Isn't this magical or wishful thinking. But not so they say if you are God. Thus what is magical becomes real if the thinker is God.

In a way all of us are what we think. We are what we think. We do act out our thoughts. Aren't we our own God in a way? Yes it may seem so. But no say some.

Who is the one we refer to as I? It is not an entity but a composite of aggregates. If we take them apart, the I no longer is there.

Moreover what seems to be the I or ego is a collection of wants or desires. If we detach ourselves from ego and there is no ego drive, there is the calmness or peace which is void of wants but still the clear consciousness which gives inner peace.

All religions teach us to go for inner peace in their respective ways. Some mitigate the harshness of negating ego by submission to divinity. Call this God and heavenly saints if we want.

Invariably when we are new to this, we end up clinging not to our own I or ego but to overall God and saints up there. This is a stepping stone to having less of ego by being part of or be in synchrony with God.

Initially we will see the attributes of our own ego in God. God is projected as guarding his pride and ego. He is jealous. No one should go for any other ego than him. Men end up worshipping himself in God.

But as men progress spiritually, men will no longer see his own ego in God. God will no longer be ego-centric. His love is beyond jealousy and envy. There will not be the chosen few.

This is the God we need to know - not the God we make him out to be. God is egoless, without boundaries, ever present, loving without borders and with boundless compassion.

God will not spoil us and will not indulge us and be imposing. He will be there for us. God is in us but let us decide and learn from life. That is an understanding God. He gives us leeway even to be wrong so that we may be right. God gives freewill.

There is God in all religions. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 wants us to know. But religions have their own ways to present God.

Eventually the inner truth is that all will come to know the God we need to know. All will learn to know God better - from the God we need not have to the God we need to know.

Let not men divide men and pit men against men in the name of God. This can happen when men of religions turn awry. God is one but religions many.

Like religions, men too are many but should be one in God not through one religion but many. This is the way of nature. There must be diversity yet oneness in diversity.

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.
