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!.

Peace despite the five worlds in life

No 1432 of Living Life Series 1

Life can be strange. We find others strange and often others too will find us strange. What can we learn from this? This means all feel inadequate and not at peace.

But all do not realise this. We want to think why others are like that. The moment we do so, we are not wrong and the other person is not wrong. just a matter of being at different frequencies.

We make our world so complex. We interact with those around us. But we interact with others more through the handphone even without opening mouth and using body language.

This is fertile ground to create issues and affect our lives as others will think we are alone but why are we not responding to verbal interaction?

Be mindful and aware that the world of handphone is here to stay. But this means we are in two worlds at the same time - the physical world and the internet world.

Often we may think that persons we are dealing with either through internet or in person are ignoring us. The fault lies in whether we are in real world or in internet world. All are caught in between the two worlds and end up creating problems and no peace for all.

Only when we are mindful and at peace will be we aware and can have peace in life despite being caught in two worlds.

Sometimes, we can be daydreaming and worrying about our life issues. Then we are distant and not in touch with both real and internet worlds.

We can even get tangled up with three worlds, the world of self-absorption, the internet world and the spatial world.

There is even yet another two worlds we are engaged in during our daily life. These are the world of work and the world of pastime such as hobby and music.

With the five worlds we are in, isn't this fertile ground for problems and no peace?

We must start with peace in us to handle life.

Do not expect the daily life with the five worlds we and society are in to give us peace. We can wait long long and peace will elude us.

We must start with peace in us and life will be easier for us.

Expecting life to be rosy is to engage in daydreaming world. Life is unlikely to be rosy and this is the case with life.

Go for peace from start and at least we will have some peace somehow even in the worst of situations.

All religions teaches the need for inner peace. Bo Tien 武天 wants us to know this. Whether we can have inner peace depends on us, not religions, not life and not others.

Not even God can bless us if we are not at peace in harnessing blessings in life and are oblivious to blessings because we are not at peace and caught up with the five worlds in life. We must start with peace in every aspect of life, spiritual or otherwise

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.
