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!.

Wow, isn't this the way to have life in life?

No 1485 of Living Life Series 1

Do not mix up what we want and what we can have for life.

Often we can only go for what we can have, be it in job or after work life.

This is because our ideals may not be realisable due to various constraints such as time and lack of opportunities.

Also, we cannot impose our world on others. We will be outnumbered and decimated.

But at same time others should not impose their world on us. If they do so, they too will be outnumbered and in conflict with many others.

There will be no satisfaction and peace that way. There will be no life in life.

But whether it is us or them, all have to belong to the world which we share. This is a harsh reality.

But this does not stop us from being ourselves, from having our own world outside work, job and beyond social interactions with family and others after job hours.

What matters is that we must take charge of the world within us and not let this be in conflict with world around us.

We have to be part of the world we are in but we can and must have peace and control of the world within us - what we refer to as the spirit or mind.

This way we can succeed both in the internal world within us and at same time we can have the same modus operandi to apply to the material world.

We will be able to have reasonable success in material life of the world outside us and of which we are mere digits. Yes, the way for inner peace enables us to succeed and be at peace with the universe of the world external to the world of our mind.

This is the explanation of Bo Tien 武天. He says that the way to spiritual enrichment if applied to mundane world will ensure success comfortable for enrichment of the spirit. We need to master the world within us, enrich it and have the inner peace.

Bo Tien 武天 adds that we need not forgo the world outside us and be celibate, monks and nuns. It would be more challenging that way to be no nun, no monk no celibate but just family men of men of society. Though more challenging as lay persons in worldly life, we will still be able to have inner peace and spiritual bliss.

There is no physical or worldly renunciation but embracing the world by having inner peace within us and taking on the world with inner peace come what may, regardless of polarities of yin and yang.

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.
