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!.

Succour from God no less if creator he is not

No 1519 of Living Life Series 1

Many find succour from a pastor and thinks the world of him. This is because they have help and support from him. They will even kiss the ground where he stands.

Many too have great respect for the monarch or head of state of a country and addressed him as his majesty or his excellency. They think he is excellent. Does this really mean he is excellent? It is just a show of respect and he is a symbol of excellence.

Many think the world of God and call him almighty. This does not mean God will show his might and will make men tremble in fear and awe of him. They think he is the creator and the alpha and the omega - the first and the last of the Greek alphabets.

Many find succour with God and saints. They are grateful for the help and support from God and saints. They take God or saint as almighty and even think he is the creator, the universal judge and nothing in life can they have if God or saint does not think well of them.

What if in reality, there is no creator? God or saints are no creators. This is a fact.

Will this mean we will turn away from God and saints and not get help and support from God or saints? God or saints will always give succour - help and support and the compassion of God or any saint will not be any less just because God or saint is no creator.

We who are in need of succour from God and saints should not be less loving and grateful towards God or saint just because he is no creator and not literally almighty.

The poor and those in need would accept help and support from anyone. It is ridiculous that those in need will turn away from a benefactor just because he is not rich enough, not powerful enough and not the creator - not the alpha and the omega.

It is the fault of many to be bias and to think big. They will only get help and support from the mightiest of the mightiests. Isn't this ridiculous? Even a beggar would not refuse a dime from a giver just because the giver is not the ultimate of the ultimates.

Bo Tien 武天 has always said that he descended not to show his might and majesty but to help and support men just like God and any saint in any religion. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if many turn away from Bo Tien 武天because they think he is not worthy enough and not creator?

No wonder, Bo Tien 武天 says that we must learn from the nature of many men and not have the same flaws. This would make us better than what we are, regardless of who we are, and in any religion or culture we are in.

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.
