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!.

No one is spared from problems and illness

No 1452 of Living Life Series 1

We are never born equal. That is the reality. Even God cannot do anything about this and God has no intention to make us be born equal.

The blessings and problems are never the same for any two. If others do not have our problems and illness, this does not mean they are free from problems and illness.

May be they are not aware till a bit too late. But as the saying goes, better late than never. Well, some will deny and the illness or problem will end up as big problem, and be the mother of all problems.

Those who have diabetes are often like that. They ignore their diabetic tendency, believe that God will take care of them and the problem will end up as the mother of all problems. But better late than never. Seek treatment and not just seek God.

What is of the world and flesh, we must go to the doctors of the world for help. What is of God and has to do with God, we go to God for help.

Face what is real for us and make do. Do not live in a dream that God takes care of everything and we depend not on men but on God. This is not what God expects of us.

Go to God what the world cannot provide and to the world what the world can provide. But of course, we sometimes ask God to open the way for us to seek the correct help from the world.

Yes, face what is real and be real. But be at peace so that we can be collected and think clearly before we can make life better and rewarding.

Do remember what works for others may not work for us, simply because, we are we and others are others. Envy not, be at peace and count our blessings. Treasure our own life and not treasure and long for others' life if we want to be at peace and be happy.

We go to church or temple to be at peace with God and not to please and suck up to others with hope that they will please us in return.

Often, how can they give us peace when they only want us to hear out what problems they have and how we can add value to solve their problems.

That is why it is said that we go to church not to idolise anyone, not even God, lest we end up idolizing men who speak on God and for God. We go for peace God wants us to have so that we can be a bit of God. That peace is what the holy texts refer to as God in us - the holy spirit which is to do with inner peace.

This is what Bo Tien 武天 set out to do and will continue to wake us up to the need to be real and at peace with life. For this, it matters not what religion we are in or if we are not interested at all with Bo Tien 武天. What matters is we know the need for peace and work for this.

No one is spared from problems and illness. It is an illusion to think that God will ensure we have none. God provides the way to handle and face life. Idolise no God or man, lest we be carried away and see not what God wants us to know. The Word is God. The Word is the way to handle and face life - to have inner peace.

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.
