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!.

Life is what we make it out to be

No 1525 of Living Life Series 1

Morning brings on more sunshine to life for all to harness more blessings out of life. But some see gloom despite the sunshine, and sunrise and sunset makes no difference.

Some see sunrise even when the sun sets. This the way to live. Live life and not die to life. Have spirit of getting up every time when we fall and have hard knocks.

Always be resurrected and never say die. Sunrise and sunset is in the life of man.

Bo Tien 武天 says. There is time to work and time to be at home. This the sages in old China refer to as yin and yang.

Everyone must find the balance of yin and yang to have peace in life but the ultimate peace must come from within us.

We must have this inner peace come what may, come rain or shine, storm or calm seas.

We must stay atop and not be sunken by the lows of life nor be elated by the highs only to be felt let down when we face the downs that follow the ups.

This is the beauty of inner peace Bo Tien 武天 talks about. This teaching is in all religions and cultures.

Energise our life through inner peace and walk tall with confidence and hope aplenty with God and saints and not cower and hide behind the gloom of despair and be blind and not neglect the many other blessings we have in life just because of the current setback.

Pick ourselves up and put back together all the pieces and shreds of life when there is setback and move on in life - not stay put with the setbacks..

We must always know when to go fast and when to slow down. We must have balance to have peace and effective fruitful life.

We must see the blessings in what we have and in the little mundane blessings we take for granted till we lose them.

We must have the spirit of sunshine even when there is sunset. We must know when to go slow and not race all the way when racing will no longer do. Do not live our sunset as though there will be no more sunrise come tomorrow.

Life is what we make it out to be. We must religiously value and make the best out of life. The best is not to have more and more. Sometimes, less is more and more is less.

Yes, a lot depends on us. Life is what we make it out to be.

Never say die even before we are dead. Never say we can be more alive than what life we can realistically and humanely have, for otherwise we can mess up life.

We are mortals and not immortals. Even immortals cannot go beyond the mile that they can do. This is imperfection we should know.

The only perfection in life is imperfection. Work and live within the limits and we can still have plenty in life. Go for more and we may end up with less or even none.

Make life work for us. Do not live life wanting more and more and end up wrecking our life. Life is what we can make it out to be.

That is the truth. Truth is in life. No one can tell us the truth in academic fashion. We must not just accept as gospel truth what preachers tell us.

Bo Tien 武天 says that it is alright to have doubts for doubts arise because we do not understand. We must meditate on and think through what preachers tell us.

But above all, we must learn from life and life is the greatest teacher. Life is God and saint. This same truth of life is in and behind all religions and cultures. This is what Bo Tien 武天 says.

Bo Tien 武天 stresses that the truth that is there in life will make all better in whatever religion or culture they are in. No need to change religion like changing clothes if we are still blind to the basic or inner truth in life that is common and behind all religions.

Do not deceive ourselves. Just know better this inner truth that is common and behind all religions and cultures and be better in the religion or culture we are in.

Ultimately, how far we go in life depends on us and what we want. Life is what we make it out to be.

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.
