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 favors no specific religion but men do

No 1246 of Living Life Series 1

Whatever we believe in life more so in spiritual is between us and God and saints. This spiritual relationship is always a personal one though we do share with others the same God and saints.

This sharing is important and while we may share, we are yet different in our relationships with God and saints. No two persons is the same even if they appear to have the same belief.

That is why though there is the same God, there will be different men and women. There cannot be one man or woman but many. Thus it is by the same line of thinking that there will be not one religion for all but many.

Even within the same one religion, there will be many differences in approach and naturally with this, there will be many sects and denominations.

There is one God but many saints and many religions. There is oneness in God and in goodness but many different ways to approach God and goodness.

This is the truth that the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 wants to remind us. Like God, the good lord champions no religion or favors none. The good lord starts no religion of his own but wants us to understand that the inner truth is one and the same behind all.

God too is silent and favors no particular religion, sect or denomination. But men may not be silent and that is the problem.

Men may say that their specific sect or denomination is the correct one. God and saints never say that. God and saints will also not say that what men say is not true.

Why? God and saints favor no religion. God newer champion any. Men do but not God and saints. Men are no God and saints. God and saints are silent. Silence is golden. Silence is divine.

Silence is of God. Noise is of men. Silence speaks volumes. Noise is jarring. Noise is of men. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that the problems of men are many and plentiful.

Oh God help us to be like you and be silent. Then there will be no problems but men cannot be silent. When men speak, they may be careless and irritating. That can be a problem indeed but some think they are doing God a favor. Do God need the favor of men? The answer is not what we expect...

Do be silent in spirituality. Go about peacefully in silence to any house of God. Go for the peace of God and for this any house of God and saint will do. Do not be noisy. Don't join in the noise and problems of men.

You may appear less religious and far from God and saints. But the far may be near and the near and noisy ones may be far. Didn't the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 say so?

This is true and evident with men. Go to any temple even to a temple of the good lord and this is happening. This is truth in action. There is much to learn from the ways of men more so in any temple of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨.

A temple of the good lord is no exception and the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 is for all religions and temples. The good lord favors no temple or religion - not even a temple with his good name.

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.
