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!.

LAUNCH OF MISSION STATEMENT 2017 FOR SERIES 1

No 1513 of Living Life Series 1

In conjunction with the forty ninth big day of Mission on the auspicious 13th day of 9th lunar month falling on 1st November 2017.

13th in Chinese sounds like one (1) living (3) - mission sure to live and grow. One also refers to series 1 of Living Life blogs - Living Life Series 1

This day happens to be All Saints Day one day after Halloween on 31st October 2017.

In the beginning in 1969

everything to do with mission

depended on only two

Philip Png (seated) and

Ling Diung Kwong

(standing beside sceptre)

but now men have short memories

and the two are dead to the minds of many.

The duo and those who follow them

may be different

but all far and near or

near and far are one in mission.

All are important and

have their place in mission.

This is the view of Bo Tien 武天.

All do deserve credit

and each one a place

in the history of mission.

There is no right and wrong
only more right and less wrong
All have done well
but could be better than that.

They have to face the music
All reap what they sow.
Problems the good still face,
Sometimes more than their share,
(more so if they are religious
and in for more spiritual)
so as to learn to be better.

This is what everyone
regardless of religion,
race, culture or society
should ever be -
to be better
than what they are
This is the Mission of Heaven.

Religions, temples too are
to be better at what they are.
Problems coming in droves
for the religious and good
to earlier clear debts of past
so as to qualify the religious
to have better things in life
to be yet even better
in spiritual bliss and peace -
to be even more good and pure
to be nearer to God, saints and men.

Problems seem more
at times to the good.
They are not shaken
and still at peace.
They know that problems
can be blessings in disguise.

But to those not steep
in the truth that is in life,
problems are let-downs.
They blame God.
They see not the light
at the end of the tunnel
of truth that is
in life and in 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.
