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!.

Anything goes in the name of God but face the law of the land

No 1568 of Living Life Series 1

Bo Tien 武天 stresses that we obey the laws of God and the laws of the land and not use God as justification to break the laws of the land

A temple somehow may attract unthinkable men to start the temple and run it. This can give the impression that God and heavenly saints do not exist.

The obvious impression is that God or heaven saint does not exist but are the creation or the concoction of such men to impress and win over the gullible. The word will go round that men created God in such a temple. With time people wonder if God or a heavenly saint exists

Devotees children who grew up with the temple and get educated will be embarrassed to be associated with the temple and the temple will age and dwindle with those who started it and used it to justify whatever wrong like adultery, smuggling and illegal betting they did.

They ended up glorifying themselves and gloating over their transgressions. They never feel the guilt and in fact even boasted that God and heavenly saints have whitewashed their wrongs. Their "sins" are taken away by God and saints. These become their prowess.

Their wrongs were never wrongs but became right and proper. God and heavenly saints have taken over their misdeeds and more blessings they will have.

God has absolved them and they even rationalised that if they undergo penance like walking over fires and bathing with salt and flower petal water, they are cleansed and will be clean.

Bo Tien 武天 pointed that if God or a heavenly saint so wished, even criminals and unthinkable people can be co-opted to run a temple.

He says that a temple is like a flower which can attract ants and insects to it for nectar.

The new borne much polished style of temples appear to be much better and above board. But beneath the exterior and impressive image of well heeled institutions, there too can be moral rot with misappropriation, holy wives and money changing hands under the table.

All these are often done thinking that they will have the favor of God. These happenings take place with no guilt. Many feel they have God behind them. With God behind them, there is no conscience and anything goes in the name of God. Anything is possible.

Anything goes in the name of God and even if wrong is no longer wrong but right. Instead of bribery which is taboo, there is love offerings but such offerings do not end up with God or with charity but in the pockets of men. Charity even if present is only the excuse.

Bo Tien 武天 says all should know this. Man is man and God is God. Anything seems to go in the name of God. But Bo Tien 武天 adds that spiritual consequences may not be obvious in this life. There is the law of the land to contend with in this life. There is no escaping as such.

Obey the laws of God and also the laws of the land. Bo Tien 武天 stresses on these two aspects. We must never use God or heavenly saint as justification to break the laws of the land.

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.
