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!.

Home - the house of God for every Adam and Eve

No 1263 of Living Life Series 1

On hindsight, the Living Life Series should have been named the Living God Series. We need to live in the principles God stand for. We need to show to others that God lives in us.

They will then want to be like us and with us. They will want to learn what makes us tick.

God is silent. God is peaceful. God is love. God is about how to be good and pure.

Man tends to be noisy and frivolous at that. Man is not peaceful even when idle. Man is full of thoughts.

To think is not the problem. The problem is when man is wild and restless in the mind.

Man harbour thoughts of hatred though man may not admit it. Man often keeps such thoughts to himself and put on a front. Man can be hypocritical but not God.

This is no good. This is not pure. There is no purity of actions, speech and thoughts.

Man may act and speak good. But this is not matched and backed up by his thoughts. Man is like that as he is ego-driven.

But God is understanding and knows man's weaknesses. With every Adam, there is Eve. This is God's gift.

Every Adam learns to be good to at least his Eve if he cannot do so for others. When this happens, there is holy matrimony.

With true matrimony, there is no ego between Adam and Eve. But if there is ego, then ego drives a wedge between Adam and Eve. Divorce and separation are the consequences.

For many if they cannot be pure good and humble with their spouses, how can they be good and godly to others? This is common sense, isn't it?

God's gift of Eve to Adam is to teach and inspire man to be good and godly so that people may be godly even at home. They may not even need to be in a church or temple to be so.

They are far and yet near - far from house of God but near to God through the holy home of marriage. They are near to God at home and live in the Word to make marriage godly but far from the houses of God in the religions men built.

The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that the near may be far and the far near. Who says the house of God is out there?

The home is the house of God for every Adam and Eve. It is where we can live in God and God lives in us. Home of every Adam and Eve is where God is. But the Satan in guise of ego may break up this home. How can there be ego to divide man and his wife?

Home too is the house of God for all. God lives in this house. Home is the first temple. God bless the home with children. Children adds to the fulfilment in this temple. Parents are the first gods to these children. The Buddha too said so didn't he?

Naturally, when Adam and Eve set up their nest home, they need to have children and to care for their parents in this first temple. If they cannot do so, how can they ever learn to love the world like what God is doing. Home too is thus the house of God - the first temple or church.

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.
