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!.

Be thankful for life, God, saints and go for peace

No 1349 of Living Life Series 1



Shakespeare once said: I cried when I had no shoes, but I stopped crying when I saw a man without legs... LIFE is full of blessings, sometimes we don't value it. 

We should be thankful for them. We should count our blessings and breathe easy with life. 

Let us thank God and saints not just today but everyday. We thank you dear God and saints for all the love and blessings you have given us: a loving family, caring friends and all the wonderful people we met in our life's journey. We humbly ask you to bless them, protect them and guide them in overcoming their challenges in life. Amen. 

The universal prayer at Bo Tien 武天 mission goes like this: To all heavenly saints we greatly adore. We believe in your existence and thy glory is in the thoughts of men. We seek for thy protection and guidance so as to live better for the time to come. 

When we are thankful, we begin to notice the smell of grass and the smell of brine of the sea breeze and the embracing warmth of the sunshine at the break of dawn. 

As Luke puts it: A new day will dawn on us because our God is loving and merciful. He will give light to those who live in the dark and in death's shadow. He will guide us into the way of peace. Luke 1:78&79. 

Bo Tien 武天 urges all to seek the inner peace by knowing the inner truth behind and common to all religions and applying it into our life - so that we have inner peace come what may - regardless of the ups and downs, the to and fros - the yin and yang. 

There will always be day and night. Day follows night and night ends the day. 

There will be storms but storms do not stay forever. Storms give way to calm seas and calm seas do not last for long. 

But the man with inner peace stays calm and is at peace come what may. He is admired and blessed by God and saints. He has faith in them and keeps his faith come what may and ever thankful for the blessings in daily life. 

He knows as Jesus says: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. This is the way of God and saints.

Bo Tien 武天 assures that regardless of faith or affiliation, those with heart to pray and seek God or saint, God or saint does know and will come to them. Issues will be no issues. But big issues even if they cannot be no issue will at least be less of issues. 

God and saints love you and wishes the best for you. The sweetest moment in life comes not with the greetings you receive but with the thought that the someone wishes the best for you everyday. 

The best thing in life is free with no strings attached and no bargains. The best of gifts is the Word - the way to inner peace. It is free. It is priceless. It enables the inner peace. 

You need to think and thank above for giving you another day to hope, another chance to pray and yet another day to cultivate inner peace. With divine blessings, what more do you need. 

Even if you falter, God and saints will pick you up again. God and saints put you back on the way of saints - the way to have inner peace come what may. 

You should neither wallow in pain from wants nor cling on and be indulgent in and not letting go of the worldly gains which do not last anyway. Instead you should be ever harnessing, appreciating and thankful of blessings that come bye and while they last. 

You can have this if you can cultivate inner peace come what may - come day or night, come rain or drought. You have inner peace as the sunshine of life - the shine of life that comes from within. 

But remember to be thankful for the guidance and blessings from above to enable you to be on the path to cultivate inner peace. Be thankful for life, God, saints and wake up every morning to yet another morning and day for blessings. It would be easier then to go for inner peace.
