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!.

The logic in life is the divine doctrine

No 1621 of Living Life Series 1

Why is it that the writing and sermons on the teachings of any religion seem more interesting and captivating than the original written teachings of that religion?

Why is it that the books on original teaching are far less in number than the books written on the religion?

Why must there be books on religion when religion is about life and how to be good?

Why not make good our life and be better off through learning from life?

Why is there need for religion if we can learn from life and know life better?

Is there the need to idolise God if what God wants us to have is to know what he stands for?

Why go for sermons and read the written teachings and views when what God stands for is in life?

Yes, there are religions and religions have become what makes men different from animals.

But do those in heaven or in hell have religions?

Religions are man made with all their limitations and imperfections characteristic of men.

But religions are popular and necessary. Religions attract men to reach to beyond what they can have in material sense and are able to reach out to the spirit of men - to their hearts.

Bo Tien says that they are pillars to support the work of God and heavenly saints for men to know how to be more man and to be more than being man.

The world or life is the universal and real temple with religions as pillars. Bo Tien 武天 points this out. Let us learn from the temple of life and learn from all religions not by mere belief but by logical thinking.

The word teaching in Chinese is logic. We must know the logic of life and how to be good.

Bo Tien 武天 says that the teaching or logic is in life. This is plain and simple and the doctrine so divine.

Simple truth or logic is what God and saints stand for. Go for this and put it into practice.

Do not idolise any one, man, God or heavenly saints.

Do not idolise the teaching or logic but live the logic in life.

Be a logical person in thoughts speech and deed. Know that desire is bad, denial of life is as bad but goodness from heart is good and promote nonpartisan love that religions of man may be short off because of the nature of men.

The logic in life is the divine doctrine. Doesn't this make sense than mere belief and not go for the logic in life?

It is easy to relate to a logical person but not to someone who does not believe in logical thinking.

Logical thinking is basic to all religions. This is the Inner Truth that Bo Tien 武天 refers to. All religions are one in need for simple logic to be good and the love to be good.

There must be love to be one though in name many. Religions must unite and not divide. The moment a religion divides men, then it is no religion for there will be no peace and where can there be inner peace in the person.

Where there is no peace, there will be misery in the person and there will be misery for those he come in contact with.

Bo Tien 武天 says all religions promote inner peace and this gives rise to peace and goodwill among men.

Inner peace can only come about with purity of the heart (the mind). We must go from impure mind to pure mind.

This is the simple logic in life and we must all know this regardless of the religion or culture we are in. Then God and all heavenly saints will love us and even those we come in contact with will love us.

This simple logic in life is the divine doctrine. Bo Tien 武天 says that this indeed is the Inner Truth in all religions.

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.
