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!.

Who is God and who is man?

No 1524 of Living Life Series 1

The 49th big day of Bo Tien 武天 on 13th day of 9th lunar month falls in 2017 on 1st November. Let us recapitulate his message on "Who is God and who is man?" so that all can be better than what they are in whatever religion or culture they may be in - as is the ideal of the Mission of Heaven he set out in 1969 to do.

Peace is from within. Go for inner peace.

God is in us and we in God. God in man and man in God.

Who is God? Matters not who he is. But peace is God. Beyond form or ego. Egoless and yet can be experienced. Not nothing and yet is in everything. This is not strange.

But errant some give him ego as big as can be. Ever with jealousy and hatred. But yet helpless with the devil. This is not God. This is the devil in man.

Luckily such men are not many. When such men infest religion like ants to a flower says Bo Tien 武天, they make religion serve the devil and not God. The devil is in them. They make religion serve them.

Religion though near can end up far from God. But the devil of such man though far from goodness of God is needed to be near to religion and to God.

God wants to redeem such men though far from redemption on their own, more so when they, though in minority, can turn religion upside down and pit religion against religion, sect against sect and man against man in the very name of goodness we refer to as God, Buddha or saint.

These few make God so unlike what God should be. God becomes less than wholesome and these few pollute and cause blasphemy to the goodness of God.

They want God to be perfect but create more imperfections in God. They do not accept that the perfection in nature lies in its imperfection. The imperfection of God or nature is the greatest perfection. They know not God. They know not man.

Know God and know man. Man can be in God and God in man. But man is man and God is God. This Bo Tien 武天 did say.

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.
