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!.

Ji Gong 济公 always a friend and never forgets...

No 1522 of Living Life Series 1

Ji Gong 济公 always a friend and he will never forget men though men may forget him.

His joviality. laughter, actions and friendliness speak louder than words.

He will always smile and laugh and will make us feel easy - light at heart even when we have a heavy heart.

Many go to him for succour regardless of their religion, culture, race or background.

He is for all religions and for all gods, saints and buddhas. He helps those even in hell - both hell in this life and in afterlife.

His doctrine is simple. Be pure at heart. Be peaceful.

Problems are just due to bad habits when we are not pure and peaceful at heart.

Above all be happy and why worry? Smile and dance and the world too will smile and dance with us.

Cheers, drink and be merry. Let us all celebrate life with him, never mind the problems and issues in life.

Just count our blessings even if little for the little is usually better that the lot.

Less can be more and more can be less. All depends on the heart.

Amitabha is ever on his lips. Every sentence he utters end with Amitabha - the light of enlightenment. Often he will just say nothing more than Amitabha. This alone brings cheers to life.

This is the Zenist Chan Chinese way of mindfulness - moment-to-moment meditation of Amitabha even while he interacts with us. He hopes we will do likewise.

This is the ultimate meditation in every conscious moment in life. This gift of mindfulness in every moment of life is his best gift which he hopes we will accept and put into practice. Amitabha always and ever more.

Be like Ji Gong 济公 and have Amitabha in every thought, deed and speech. At times and not infrequently, God will be on his lip as well.

We too must have Amitabha or God in every thought and conscious moment of life while sleeping or while awake.

This is a good habit for all regardless of religion. They can have God or a prophet in their mind and on their lips all the time.

This helps all not to have restless and roaming mind - effectively to stop the mind from wandering and to still the mind so as to have peace and a pure heart.

There is no time to lose. Our time as human is just so fleeting and we need to meditate 24 hours a day. This too is the grand final advice of Bo Tien 武天. This will enable all to be better than what they are, regardless of religion or sect or even if none.

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.
