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!.

God no default excuse for the bad we do

No 1619 of Living Life Series 1

The default solution to failure to get what we want in the world seems to be to turn to God for everything we want. God will open the way and we will get what we want.

If this goes on and on, the good intention of God may have unintended results.

We may want what God does not want us to have. Then we may turn God into a monster to meet our wants.

If we succeed in getting the undesirable such as adultery or creating suffering for others, we thank God for his grace when God has no hand in what we do.

We lack wisdom and because of this, we may end up as monsters with God the overall monster king.

Do not make God ungodly and that is what all should reflect and meditate on. This is plain and simple.

But as Bo Tien 武天 did say, men tend not to think truth is as simple as that. Men end up learning and doing the ungodly in a temple or religion. Men end up far though supposedly near. Bo Tien says the seemingly near can be far.

Those who worship God may end up worshiping the ungodly nature in themselves.

Men tend to be self serving but this is still alright if there is wisdom and a conscience. Do not end up not having any conscience and say that it is the will of God that we gain and others lose, we live and others die so we can live better, that we despise other beliefs and practices different from our own.

God is no default excuse for the bad we do. The solution in the long run will be to know and put into practice what God stands for. God stands for the good of all men and beings even those in hell.

All must be mindful to be good and pure from the heart and not put up a godly front. Be humble, simple and pure.

This Bo Tien 武天 refers to as the Inner Truth. Then we will be more likable and welcome by all. Let the Inner Truth prevail.

God is never to be our excuse for this and that. God is no default excuse for being not good. This is plain and simple and all should know that.

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.
