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!.

From the brink of dsaster and death

No 1747 of Living Life Series 1

Many thanks to those who help others even if they themselves need help. This is the way society should be. All need to help and be helped.

Bo Tien 武天 says that we can turn to God and saints in any religion for help. But what is more important is to help one another and to give thanks to help from others as well.

We can be light or beacon for others to follow. Do not say one is better than another but say that we love one another for the kindness they extend to us.

There must be the give and take spirit.

We need help most when there is birth, illness and death. Do not judge those others for what they are. Even the misled and those worse than us can be source of help when one is desperate.

Let us thank heaven and thank earth. Let us not forget that those in hell can help us as well. This is how we can help ourselves.

Religions can help one another. Then society will be more compassionate.

One who has helped others too can be helped by those whom he considered as unlikely to help him.

This spirit of truth underlies the inner goodness in all men and can find expression though any form.

But do remember no one is perfect. But give credit where credit is due.

Then in suffering, in any disaster or even at death, there will be hope. Then problems will be mitigated.

As any religion will say, big issues will be less issues even if the issues cannot be no issue. This is part of growing up of the spirit.

Without this, where will there be hope? Life will be hopeless. Life should be with hope and love and hope make the world go round.

The spirit of Chinese New Year or any big day of any religion or culture is the obvious expression of the need for love.

So what if we are different? We can still help one another. This will bring us out of the hell in life.

This is how society can pull itself from the brink of disaster and death. Disasters and death are man made. Only man can overcome disasters and death.

We must learn from the harshness of life and not grumble about it. This truth Bo Tien 武天 says is in any religion or culture.

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.
