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!.

Many questions in life but no answers

No 1562 of Living Life Series 1

If there is no man, will there be religion? If there is religion, can there be no man?

Can there be religion in heaven? Can there be religion in hell?

Do animals who can think and act like men though not up to level of men have religions?

The answers if any will beg further questions. There are many more questions but no proper answers and only more questions will follow.

Why must there be religions? Why must there be God? Are men more civilised because of presence of God? What if civilisation of men is by men and not by God? Will there still be actions and reactions, consequences of thoughts and actions? Will there be lawlessness if there is no belief in God?

Why must men try only to be good only if there is God? Why must there be fear of God before one will be good?

Some say God is about love and nothing with fear. Then why must there be heaven and hell? God or even any sane person who believes in love should not even want to even consider that there is hell below. Why wish hell on those whom we don't like?

Why not wish them well, love them and change them so that they will not create problems and hell for others even in this life?

Is God, hell, heaven the excuse of men to impose the need to be civil and not to create problems?

Will problems still be there with or without God, heaven or hell?

Must God or any heavenly saint exist and display divine might before there is love and peace among men?

Bo Tien 武天 says that it is immaterial who God or any heavenly saint is but what matters is to know what divinity stands for.

Be good from the bottom of the heart, be sincere and be peace loving. Have inner peace to have love for life, to accept the ups and downs, the yin and the yang, the good and far from good.

With inner peace come what may, we are at ease even if what around us is not.

With inner peace, we do not greedily go for worldly gains only to be let down and be in hell on earth when these are no longer with us.

No need to ask questions and find excuses in life before we can be good and at peace. In life, there are many questions and no answers.

Bo Tien 武天 says it is good to have doubts. Doubts arise if people do not understand. Once doubts are clarified they will understand better.

If questions asked beg further questions and there is no ultimate answers, then such questions too are due to doubts. Once people understand why many questions on life only resulted in more questions, this too will set their mind thinking.

What is the solution to life? The solution lies in inner peace. Inner peace is the goodness that is behind and common to the teachings of all saints and sages. Bo Tien 武天 refers to this as Inner Truth.

Bo Tien 武天 says that the problems in life are many and plentiful. While we can help one another and other beings in heaven and even those in hell can help us, there will still be problems in life. The solution is still to have inner peace.

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.
