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!.

Common sense that we need inner peace

No 1576 of Living Life Series 1

Bo Tien 武天 says that there is sunrise and there is sunset. Without sunrise, there will not be sunset.

It is in the nature of life for us to have sunrise and sunset. There is time to work and there is time to rest.

Work on its own do not give rise to peace in life. Rest on its own won't.

We need both hunger and fullness in life. Without one, we will not know the other. Either one would be not pleasing.

We need to have both to know why we have problems in life. Then we can have the balance to even out and have the best of both.

Then we will want to be not at the receiving ends of the dual nature of life - the yin and yang.

We cannot avoid one or the other. But we can cultivate the inner peace in us so that we will not be tossed around come what may in life.

The truth of inner peace is in life, in religion and in any life we may have in afterlife - even in heaven. All must seek inner peace while they are plugged into the yin and yang of life.

Even those in hell more than those elsewhere do need inner peace. If they can have more of inner peace, they will no longer be in hell even if still in hell. Inner peace is what all beings need.

Inner peace is the way, the truth and the light. Have more of inner peace.

We can have this in any type of life we lead. We can have this in any religion we are in. We can have this in any culture we are in.

Inner peace does not mean we run away from life and its problems. We stay with life and are not affected in spirit by problems and issues.

With inner peace ever the more, we are more calm and more attuned to God and small issues will be no issues and big issues will be small issues.

Even if fated to face problems that have no solution, we are not worse off if we have inner peace. Then we will see the light. Then we will realise that we do still have many other blessings we take for granted or ignored.

One or two problems do not eat us up. With inner peace, we become more aware that life is still a blessing in myriad of ways. There are many other things and issues to rejoice in life.

The greatest blessing of course is inner peace itself. Inner peace is what we need and the rest will just come our way. Isn't this common sense?

Even if blessings come our way, without inner peace, we will not be aware of them. It is common sense that we need inner peace to make life tick.

There is more to life than any problem that has no solution. We can make up in other ways but we must have inner peace. It is sheer common sense that we need inner peace. Common sense must prevail. We can have better days even for the here and now, just by having inner peace.

There will always be reason to be happy about, like Christmas and the new year as well as the many festivals that follow one after another.

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.
