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!.

Be with God anywhere and not with men in a temple

No 1427 of Living Life Series 1

Why do people go to a temple or church?

They go there to be with God and saints - to be one with God and saints.

But what many see in a temple are men and not God and saints. They only have worldly eyes to see men.

We should go to a church or temple to be with God and not with men though what we see at such a place are men.

Bo Tien 武天 says that man is man and God is God.

So why go to a temple or church where we end up facing other men before we can even be with God.

Men speak to us before even God can speak to us. What we hear from men may not be what God would want to say to us.

We might as well be outside a temple or church as we can be with God or saints anywhere.

In fact, Bo Tien 武天 says the whole world is the true or universal temple with the sky or heaven as the roof. Religions are the pillars to support the roof of the world temple.

Let us be with God anywhere and not in a temple where we may end up with men rather than with God.

Bo Tien 武天 says that the problems of men are many and plentiful.

So where men congregate anywhere be it for any matters or even for worship, they bring their problem but end up bringing and creating more problems for other men. They end up far from being at peace and embroiled in the designs of men.

This can well happen if they go to a church or temple where men congregate. Though near and supposedly in a house of God built by men for God, they are far.

Bo Tien 武天 says the near can be far and the far near.

The one who stays clear from a temple and from the designs of men is more likely to find the peace of God and be with God.

He is also more likely to handle worldly life better as he is at peace with himself when he can be one with God.

He is not embroiled by the whims and fancies and the politics of men, be this worldly or religious based.

As Bo Tien 武天 did remind all regardless of religion or even if none that man is man and God is God.

Know who is God and who is man. Know what is of God and what is of man.

We are more likely to mistake what is of man as that which is of God in a temple or church.

Give this some thought, won't you?

The choice is yours.

Do you prefer men and the politics and problems of men?

Or would you rather have peace and be away from the trivialities of being man just by being one with God in the world - the true temple or church of God?

Some prefer to be with hell created by men than seek the heaven here and now by being one with God.

The choice to be with God rather than men is obviously the better choice.

Then we can have heaven here and now and not hell here and now.

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.
