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!.

We will ever be different though one in God

No 1261 of Living Life Series 1

Men make so much noise and din over small issues that they often drown out and prevent the wise from speaking forth. Upmanship drives man against man. The need to dominate is astounding and astonishing.

How can men silent themselves and be at peace? How can men be in tune with the holy silence and peace of God? Men are so noisy and involved in upmanship that they often cannot even notice their love ones around them. They don't even know themselves and what they are doing , or do they?

How would they notice God among them? One wonders what have become of men? Are they lost to God while always having the word God on their lips?

Has God become the excuse for upmanship and the justification to hurt, harm, maim and kill not only others but even themselves? Self harm and suicide have even taken on an air of divinity.

When has a forgiving God condone harm and hurt to others? Harm, hurt and even Hell are not the making of God but the making of men who in the name of God.

Alas some think they are doing justice to God by hurting others in thoughts, speech and deeds. Such men proclaim they are near and dear to God.

But in actions, speech and thoughts they are far. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that the near may be far and the far near.

As religiosity grows with the times, so will the ungodly nature of men grow in tandem. This happens somehow and is ironical.

This is partly due to some men wanting to share and worse still impose their religious beliefs and will on others. They will not accept that others can be different in beliefs.

They fail to see that people are never one in thinking and even of the same religion, people will be different. The same applies more so to religions.

People like religions have to be different. They must grow their spirituality one step at a time. In doing so, they will be different even of the same family or sect.

All religions are one in God and in need to be good - to be pure. We all grow in pureness if we can. But do not impose our level of pureness on others.

The good lord Lord Bo Tien's 武天菩萨 mission is to show the oneness in diversity of religions and men. Oneness does not mean all think alike from the word go. Oneness is there from the start when we are different.

As we go along, we will be different. Let us accept ourselves and others for what we or they are, for what we and they will be from time to time. Accept that we will be different though one in God.

As long as man is man, this is here to stay. As long as there is sunrise, there will be sunset. Well, well, what can we expect? We will ever be different though one in God. Ultimately it matters not what our beliefs but what we do as a result of our beliefs.

Will we grow in pureness and in peace and in love of life come what may? We must accept differences and polarities. We must embrace sunrise and sunset and the shades of the day and night in between.

Aren't they different though of the same day? The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that as long as there is sunrise, there will be sunset.

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.
