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!.

Why be self righteous? Judge not. Be humble. Amen

No 1274 of Living Life Series 1

What's wrong with being wrong? We will never be exactly right anyway? We will ever be wrong in some way somehow.

If God don't mind, who are we to mind what others do and say. Be humble. Never put on airs. Don't be arrogant.

The humble and meek will be exalted and the exalted humbled. Why go the mile to say we are right and others wrong? We will never be really right anyway. That is the reality. That is so and so be it which is what Amen is all about.

Never say we are better. Never say one religion or sect is correct or better. All can serve the needs of men in their respective ways.

All are different and yet the same. All are one in God and in truth of goodness. Any religion is as good and wholesome as another. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 wants us to know regardless of our religious persuasion.

But it is never easy to qualify what is good. What is good to one man may not apply to another.

One man's meat is another's poison. Vegetarian is good for some but of what use is it to those who have ill-will and go for the kill - ever wanting to hurt and be one up on others? They go for the blood and flesh of those they don't like but yet champion vegetarian life style.

Be true to what we uphold. What matters is never what we do or believe but what is in our heart - what comes from the heart. Ji Gong 济公 the living saint upholds this principle. All saints teach this.

It is plain simple. We must be pure at heart and be true to what we say and do. Be humble and be meek. We will be near to God and saints though we act and think we are far from God and saints when we are humble.

This is what the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 say. This is what Lord Jesus meant when he say that the meek and humble will be exalted and the exalted humbled.

We are never right even when right. Never be self righteous. Judge not. Be humble. Never lord over others. Do not discriminate or decimate others beliefs or religion. One religion is as good as any. That is so and so be it. Amen.

Do what we can to be as right as we can. Pride not in what we do less we be carried away. Fear not and have no guilt for not being as right as we can. The need to ensure we do not succumb to fear and guilt is stressed by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 .

Fear and guilt tear away our spirit, peace and confidence. Guilt makes us feel like we are fools and damned. God never say that.

It is we who may do so - all because of our being self-righteous in the first place. Don't be self righteous. Judge not. Be humble. Amen indeed.

Never be derogatory. Never label the self-righteous as fools. God did not and will not. Why should we then? Feel sorry for those who are self-righteous.

Love them. Be with them. Change them to be better than that - more so in the religion they are in. There is nothing wrong in their religion or in any religion. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 expects of us. All religions serve their purposes. All are one in God.

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.
