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 driver of life and not be driven by life

No 1440 of Living Life Series 1

Never say never. Never say we can and no problem at that.

The outcome cannot be as sure as sunrise and sunset.

But what is sure is that we will face issues. No issue is too big or too small.

We may be disappointed if even small issue we cannot handle. Something may crop up to result in this.

But we must have the peace of mind to face problems and issues. Let's face it. We must not be defeated by life. We must just move on and make do.

There are many other things we can do even if one or two we cannot do. We must not be waylaid by life. For this we must have inner peace.

What we want is to move on and on in life. But do not rush and be burnt out by life. Life cannot make us the victims. We need to be the masters of life and not be sidetracked by problems.

A master must be calm and composed all the time come rain or shine. He must have the confidence that nothing will dent his spirit when beset with the downs in life or be swept off his feet with no peace when on high and overjoyed by torrent of good things coming his way.

Be there joy or sorrow, he keeps his calm and peace. He has the inner peace. Then he is in control of life and not controlled by life.

He is the driver of his own life and not driven by life. He is not driven around by the ups and downs of life but rides over peacefully and easily over the ups and downs - the yin and yang

The yin and yang is no longer a concern. He has inner peace and drives his own life. Destiny cannot make a mockery out of life for him.

This true doctrine is in life and in all religions. Bo Tien 武天 shares this with us.

Bo Tien 武天 says he comes not to favor any religion or to start any. He comes not to have followers but to remind all how to have inner peace in life and in any religion.

We will then be better in what we are in our religion or even if none. We will also be better in life outside religion.

We do not utilise religion to escape and run from life - to run away from the ups and downs, the yin and the yang but only to find we face the same in religion as well.

Be a driver of life and not be driven by life. Have inner peace.

We have to live life, not expect God or others to live life for us. God teaches us the Doctrine of life that gives us inner peace. We must live life in line with his Word. God is the Word and the Word is God.

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.
