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!.

Beautiful thoughts create a beautiful world

No 1347 of Living Life Series 1

When we fill our minds with beautiful thoughts, our world becomes a beautiful place.

Chinese New Year event is the day when all whether well, unwell, rich or poor have to at least once a year have beautiful thoughts of life and feel on top of the world.

It is a reminder that we have to move on in life and appreciate whatever blessings and life we have - which some put it as God-given.

We should not wallow in miseries and forget we have our share of blessings too. We should not take them for granted.

We are what we think. As we think so will our world be. Have beautiful thoughts and our world becomes a beautiful place. There will always be something in life we can be happy about. Don't end up not realising this.

As mentioned by www.ThinkPositive.com, everything is valuable in two situations..First, before getting it. Second, after losing it. In between, we don't realise the value of anything.

Chinese New Year is a yearly reminder to think well of ourselves even if we are far from well. We must count our blessings. We must bless all - others not forgetting ourselves to begin with.

We must give as much as we want to receive. We cannot wait till we have enough in order to give. This is embodied in the tradition of the red packets.

Bo Tien 武天 adds that we must have love in our hearts - love and be kind to all. We must not only have beautiful thoughts of love and kindness for others but also for ourselves. We must love ourselves even if we cannot do well or are unwell.

We must love others not because they are more well off than us and we can gain from them but only and simply because we want to love and be kind. We must have beautiful thoughts and our world will be ever that beautiful somehow.

Beautiful thoughts create a beautiful world. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. A beast can transform into a handsome prince. It all depends on the beholder.

Jesus stands out as King and son of God in the eyes of the beholder if the beholder has beautiful thoughts of him. This creates a beautiful world for the beholder and believer. Others who are not believers too must appreciate Jesus and they too by having beautiful thoughts create a beautiful world for themselves.

Man certainly can create a beautiful and magnificent world for himself. Let us celebrate to that. Beautiful thoughts create a beautiful world. Let us let off firecrackers and announce this to the world not just on Chinese New Year but day to day and year on year.

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.
