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!.

Truth will set us free and awaken the lion in us

No 1234 of Living Life Series 1

People feel uneasy when faced with the topic of death or unpleasant events. There is fear because they don't understand the truth and will not face truth. They think bad events can happen to others and not to them.

They don't want to know who they really are - what life is about. They run from the truth. They see not the ego as the problem and think the world of their ego. They live for the ego in them.

When we know what life is more than the ego and more than meet the eye, it is then we know the truth of life. We need to go to the bottom of life. We need to know life beyond the ego.

When we know what life is about and what is in store for us, we will be free - free from fear. We often don't want to know ourselves. We run from ourselves and from truth.

Our being what we are is about life and death. Life and death is like the day and night - sunrise and sunset. We cannot have one without the other. They are never separated - one follows the other.

Know the truth and truth will make us more down to earth - more living in life and not running away from life or death. We know better than to die to life or to live to die.

We become more purposeful - no wants for sake of wants and no dying in spirit before we even die. We uphold the spirit and liven the spirit.

We moderate and have balance - not driven by desires and not denying worldly needs. We know what we truly need.

We know life. We know the truth and truth will set us free.

Life is about sunrise and sunset. When the sun appears, go to work and when the moon appears, time to sleep. When the rain falls, tree will grow to provide shade for the people.

These are blessings inherent in life. Count our blessings. This they say is the awakening of the lion in men.

In life is the living gospel. When we can see life as the gospel, this is when we awaken the lion in us to brave the ups and downs in life and feel free and liberated that we can be atop the sunrise and sunset - the yin and the yang.

This is the teaching common to all religions. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 wants all regardless of religion to set free the lion in them - to roar and let the world know that they are free and ever the king of all the ups and downs that life is about. Truth will set us free and awaken the lion in us.

Learn from Lionel at the temple of the good lord at Singapore. He will share more with you. You too can set the spirit free and awaken the lion in you.

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.
