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!.

Learn from others' mistakes and know God better

No 1393 of Living Life Series 1

Man has the tendency to make God so ungodly and still insist that that is God.

For example, we are never born equal and that is for real. Yet, man say that this is the design of God.

But in the first place, if he creates us, then why make us different at birth. The logical answer is plain and simple. He did not create us.

We are our own creation. We end up what we are because of what we were in a previous life or lives. This makes more sense.

Do God need to be creator before we respect him? The answer is he need not be. If he is creator, then he is ungodly in making us all different at birth.

There is more to it than creation. We procreate and are the creator of our own species.

Man wants to have the ideal in God and hold on to this. In the process, man does not do justice to God. Man makes God appear to be what he is not.

By attributing everything to God, men is not doing justice to God or for that matter any saint.

Man must grow up and not behave like a child who thinks the world of his father but when reaching adult stage realises that this ideal cannot be sustained.

Bo Tien 武天 says that we can gain in wisdom by knowing the faults and wrong thinking in others in addition to their strengths. This advice is applicable to everyone regardless of religion or sect.

We must learn how others respect God and saints but not what they err in doing so.

This is better than trying to say that they are wrong or to be what they are and be one of them when we have to stop thinking and stop using our logic.

When we stop thinking and live by faith, we may end up doing what others tell us in the name of God. Then there will be cults and problems with the authority that be in the land.

There must be the balance. Think what we can and understand as much as we can. But at the same time just go along with open mind what we could not understand logically for now.

This balance is the yin yang balance of the Bagua which Bo Tien 武天 resurfaces for us to know better how to handle life.

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.
