Response from the Inquiry Center of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters to Questions Raised by Inquirers

To Read Important Replies from Holy Virtuous Ones and Eminent Monastics (35 Answers) Click Here

The “Important Replies from Holy Virtuous Ones and Eminent Monastics” is due to the fact that the World Buddhism Association Headquarters has already published announcements regarding inner-tantric initiations but even until now there are still people who have not read them or have not made an earnest effort to understand the announcements even after the reading. That makes it very difficult for those Buddhist disciples who want to grow good fortune and wisdom and to learn great dharmas to attain accomplishment. Additionally, those who did not read or understand them will often stray away or even fall in evil ways. The reason is that they do not know what the correct Buddha-dharma truly is. For example, in general, people all wish to receive an inner-tantric initiation, but they do not know what inner-tantric is. They do not know the difference between empowerment and inner-tantric mandala, inner-tantric initiations, and state-practice initiations, or the phenomena occurring in the process, the manifestation of the Dharma as mandated by the Dharma, or the serious distinction between what is true and what is false. What qualification must a master possess to be able to perform an inner-tantric initiation? What is the qualification of a master who can perform a borrowed inner-tantric initiation? Can a person who can fly in the sky establish an inner-tantric mandala?

On the other hand, what conditions and merit must a disciple possess to receive an inner-tantric initiation? How many kinds of marvelous utilization does Buddha-bestowed nectar have? What are the views of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III? And what is the proposition the Venerable Mozhi expressed? And so on. Because some people have not understood it from the reading, they asked more questions. We at the Inquiry Center of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters, on behalf of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters, went and implored the great holy virtuous ones to reply to the questions you raised and obtained correct answers.

Because the text of the questions raised is lengthy, we will not provide a list of answers and will only give brief and precise answers. To facilitate your learning and understanding, we will disseminate only one reply a day. Please receive and read every day and be sure to understand what you read. Only by doing so can one’s view become correct. Only then can one avoid being defrauded by charlatans and evil masters and avoid straying away. By doing so, one will surely and very quickly attain perfect good fortune and wisdom and become accomplished. Only through such an undertaking can one receive a great initiation and learn excellent Dharma!!!

The first answer will be disseminated on the day of the Lunar New Year. Other answers will follow and be published every day. There are altogether 35 answers to be provided continuously for 35 days. Please pay attention to receive them! All answers are correct answers provided by great holy virtuous ones. We at the Inquiry Center put them in writing based on the original words.

Important Replies from Holy Virtuous Ones and Eminent Monastics and Brief Synopses

The 35 replies from holy virtuous ones regarding the questions raised have all been published. However, there are still people who do not understand from reading them and even have very serious misunderstandings. They perceived the dharmic stipulations that are integral to the true dharma of Tathagata as supernormal powers. Some even said, “What I want to learn is Buddha-dharma. I am not interested in supernormal powers. Even H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III told you holy virtuous ones that He is not interested in supernormal powers. What His Holiness the Buddha emphasizes are carrying out good deeds, removing evildoing, practicing cultivation for enlightenment and benefiting living beings!”

We can only tell you that you have mixed up the dharmic stipulations and supernormal powers from the roots. You said that you are not interested in supernormal abilities, but on the other hand, you regard the dharma requirements as supernormal powers. You have already fallen into stupidity and ignorance! You ultimately do not understand that great Buddha Dharmas must be examined to be true or false based on the dharmic stipulations. You do not know that absolutely no error is permitted in inner-tantric initiations regarding the requirements of the Dharma. You do not understand that the Dharma stipulations are indispensable; otherwise, the practice will fall into heretic ways. You know even less about H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s state of enlightenment as a Buddha. It is not true that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was not interested in the stipulations of true Buddha-dharma that we mentioned. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said clearly: “I am not saying that your emphasis on the stipulation of the Dharma is not good. Rather, my concern is that there aren’t so many great holy virtuous ones to transmit the truly great Buddha Dharma.” H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III also said, “In today’s world, there are very many people who are learning Buddhism. Where can so many holy masters be found? How many masters who are great holy ones are there to teach them?”

Additionally, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said: “The publicly-known stories of the manifestation of holy state expounded by Sakyamuni Buddha in the sutras are more than what you said. I do not have the slightest doubt about what the Buddha said. I completely respect the World-Honored One.”

You are so stupid that you do not even understand clearly who H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is. In the broader sense, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the Buddha in the entire Buddhism. In the context of this Saha world, His Holiness the Buddha is the supreme leader of the whole Buddhism. Can His Holiness the Buddha be partial to any sect or school or only emphasize any particular dharma gate? H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III must equally respond to living beings according to the 84,000 dharma gates of Sakyamuni Buddha!

Since you have not understood the basic principles yet, we seriously inform you here that the 35 answers have nothing to do with supernormal powers. The stipulations of the Dharma and so on mentioned therein are not supernormal powers but are mandated by the tremendous high-level dharmas of true Buddha Dharma. No supernormal power of any form suffices to be the stipulations specifically required by true Buddha-dharma. The requirements of the Dharma are what is needed to be carried out for examining the qualification in holy realization levels of a guru. It is not up to you whether you are interested in it or not because it is the standard for validating whether someone is a true master. It allows people to see and know whether a master truly knows Buddha Dharma or not, whether he practices true Buddhism or just a heretic cult, whether someone pretends to have internal power from Buddha Dharma, whether someone only has a weak and hollow body and no Buddha-dharma, whether this someone enables people to quickly and expediently attain perfect good fortune and wisdom and become accomplished, or just defrauds people and prevents them from learning Buddha-dharma for their entire life without any possibility of achieving liberation, causing them to descend into one of the three lower realms so terribly?

Some individual evil masters deceive their disciples by saying, “I am a great Bodhisattva, a Vajra master. I do not accept the stipulations of the Dharma for inner-tantric initiations. No stipulation affects me. I can easily break it using one finger.” You evil masters! You are crazy and stupid to the extent of lunatics!

It is tantamount to someone being able to lift the weight of 100 kilograms with one hand, but you not only do not admit that this person has good physical strength but also think he is far interior to you. If that is what you believe, then you should demonstrate your good physical power. You should go and lift a weight of more than 100 kilograms with one hand to prove that you can surpass that person, even just by a few grams. Only then are you eligible to deny his physical strength and say it is not as good as yours!

In particular, you purposely self-claim to be a great Bodhisattva and make it look as if it was unintentional. As a Bodhisattva, your supernormal powers must be great, and you must have superior and formidable dharma powers. Why don’t you go ahead and apply your dharma powers of a great Bodhisattva to prove those two major stipulations of inner-tantric initiations are useless? Why don’t you dare to publicly present the three Vajra Pestles—the Earth Pestle, the Heaven Pestle, and the Dharma Pestle, as well as present a petition to a Bodhisattva for your followers to see that doing these is no big deal for you? If you can do these, you have the right to deny or criticize the stipulations of the Dharma.

Conversely, if you cannot do these, if you can only make excuses before your disciples and dare not even try, it only shows that you are a false Bodhisattva. You are not just an ordinary person but one that only has exhausted physical strengths. You do not have any flavor of holiness, but are just a weak, an exhausted, and a sick person without any power, a wandering swindler in all accounts! You are a false holy one. Everyone knows that you cannot meet what is stipulated by the Dharma to the bone, and that is why you cover up your ugly and vicious face of faking as a holy one to deceive living beings by slandering the stipulations of true Buddha Dharma.

Why do we ask you to verify yourself by presenting the three pestles? This is because you pose yourself as a great Bodhisattva. People all know that a great Bodhisattva possesses unimaginably high and profound powers of accomplishment. How can you not even have the ability to present the three pestles? According to the stipulations of the Dharma, the weight of the Earth Pestle should be 200 pounds for one whose age is around 60 with a bodyweight of about 170 pounds. You can’t even lift such a weight off the ground. There is no need to mention that you can’t lift the Heaven Pestle of 110 pounds with one hand above the shoulder and present it to the offering table. Still, you have not been asked to raise the Dharma Pestle that is more difficult than the Earth Pestle or the Heaven Pestle by 100 times. Since you are unable to present the three pestles, can you claim good health and physical strength instead of a weak, handicapped, and sick body of an ordinary being? The truth is, your physique is feeble and hollow even among ordinary persons. You are entirely an ordinary person faking to be a holy one.

Of course, you will look for excuses to tell your disciples, “My hands, feet, waist, and thighs are all injured.” Well, lifting the Dharma Pestle does not injure any part of your body; however, it only needs internal power or Vajra force. Moreover, we can ask you to manifest the inner-tantric initiation. At a distance of ninety meters from the Vajra pill, you let the monsoon-bean-sized and substantial Vajra pill exhibit miraculous transformations. As to “Presenting a Petition to a Bodhisattva,” that is 1000 times more difficult than presenting the three pestles and is not something those swindlers and evil masters are eligible even to imagine.

Dharma Master Shi Jianhui formally made her vow before the Buddha statue in the grand hall, “Now His Holiness the Buddha is present in the world. I have the good fortune to follow the Buddha and receive His teachings for 18 years. I have almost always been able to listen to His impartation of the Dharma every day as long as His Holiness the Buddha, my merciful master, is in California. However, many people are located in far-away places and even in other countries. They know nothing about H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and thus have no respect in mind. I now make my vow. I would rather give up myself to be punished by the precepts than abandon my vow of wishing cultivators to learn true Buddha-dharma. From now on, regardless of what level you are, as long as you have done ‘Presenting the three Vajra Pestles,’ you can choose a big and broad grassland at any location for me to demonstrate the Dharma of Fine Horse Traveling in Sky by Stepping on Clouds. I will rise up and walk in the sky. You and no more than 100 disciples of yours and another 300 Buddhists of good faith whom I will select can be at the site to observe in person, so you can see the true power of the true Tathagata Dharma is. I know very clearly that doing such manifestation on my own intention violates Precept No. 7 of the Precept of the Yidam Dharma and will affect my accomplishment. However, for the sake of living beings, just as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, ‘If I do not enter the hell, who will?’

Actually, I already demonstrated my realization of accomplishment on two occasions. The first time was to deliver a dharma booklet in time. The second time was in response to the karmic cause of Dharma Master Longhui. The next time will be the third. As long as you have done ‘Presenting the three Vajra Pestles,’ you are already a great holy virtuous one, and your level of accomplishment is higher than mine. Thus, you will have all the rights to watch me showing my level of accomplishment, and all the rights to arrange for your excellent disciples to view. This vow that I am making is for living beings’ opportunities to acquire wisdom and generate good karma. I have made this vow and will truthfully do so. I do not have the slightest intention of praising myself or showing off. I have only one purpose, which is to let people who seek true Dharma see the genuine Buddha Dharma, so that afterward they can completely carry out kindness, stay far away from the evil, truly practice The Xiaman Most Excellent Oceanic Mind Essence, love the country, people and all living beings, sincerely cultivate themselves, be good people and be on the right path, and plant the holy cause of enlightenment to attain real accomplishment.”

Remember, the replies from the Holy Virtuous Ones And Eminent Monastics do not talk about supernormal powers or show off supernormal abilities. They have nothing to do with supernormal powers. Instead, the emphasis is on the stipulations of the Dharma that must be applied in the true Dharma of the Tathagata and inner-tantric initiations. The requirements of the Dharma are not supernormal powers. Supernormal powers cannot manipulate or control the ways mandated by the stipulations of the Dharma. That is why, although Arhats possess the six supernormal powers, yet regarding the Dharma requirements, they are only able to present the three pestles and cannot accomplish “Presenting a Petition to a Bodhisattva.” That is because the stipulations of the Dharma are upheld and controlled by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The three vidyas and six supernormal powers possessed by an Arhat do not affect “Presenting a Petition to a Bodhisattva” at all. The reason is that an Arhat does not own the qualification to invite a great Bodhisattva to come to an inner-tantric mandala in person to accept the petition publicly.

To facilitate your grasping of the critical points in the 35 replies, we especially developed a brief synopsis for every answer as a hint or reminder for you. However, you must read the outlines along with the original text of the answers to each question. Only then can you gain an accurate and precise understanding. These synopses of the 35 replies will be published on April 20.

Brief Synopses of Answers Provided by Holy Virtuous Ones and Eminent Monastics to Questions Raised

Synopsis of Answer No. 1:

Venerable Mozhi replies in person to the six questions addressed to him:

He does not have the status of a great holy virtuous one.

He has not realized the accomplishment of Gold Button Level 3 or as a non-retrograde Bodhisattva yet.

He is not able to confer inner-tantric initiations to disciples but can perform a borrowed inner-tantric initiation.

He does not accept disciples.

It is he who demonstrated the power that burnt many high monks and virtuous ones with tummo fire in the video recording titled “Manifestation of Genuine Buddha-Dharma That Is Difficult to See Even in One Thousand Years.”

On that day, there was a person with the title of rinpoche who feared the embarrassment of being injured by the burn and thus dared not enter the field.

Synopsis of Answer No. 2:

To receive an inner-tantric initiation, one must pass two checkpoints, neither of which can be skipped. Getting the agreement from the master conferring the initiation is just passing the first checkpoint. However, if you should have any doubt or speak falsely to the master conferring the inner-tantric initiation, you have committed an offense to the fundamental precepts. The Yidam, who is a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, will not agree to confer the initiation and transmit the Dharma to you at the second checkpoint. Even if the initiation is performed forcefully, there will not be any beneficial effect at all.

Synopsis of Answer No. 3:

The effect of an inner-tantric initiation is to invite a Buddha or a Bodhisattva to come to the mandala to accept the disciple!! The disciple must be a person who is very pious and has made real contributions to the Buddhist undertakings!!! Only such a disciple can meet the requirement to receive the initiation. If one presents offerings to a tremendously holy virtuous one with the utmost piousness, one can receive the First-Class Initiation of Dharma Affinity with the Yidam; one can also receive the Utmost Precious Holy Amrit to exterminate one’s hindrances. Within 12 hours, this disciple will see in person the Buddha or Bodhisattva in space and learn supreme great Dharma to transform from an ordinary being to a holy one immediately. This answer also mentioned an example of actual realization seen by many people. For details, please see the full text of Answer No. 3.

Synopsis of Answer No. 4:

This answer points out that the best cultivation and dharma practice in this world is the cultivation and dharma practice expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, such as the cultivation and dharma practice in the Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation. There are very many eminent monastics and greatly virtuous ones that can be concretely named who have attained liberation through learning and practicing the Buddha-dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. No one else can hold the candle. That is the guarantee for your accomplishment and liberation.

Synopsis of Answer No. 5:

This answer expressed clearly that the view of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is that all sects and schools are equal, and each has its own specialty. The key to learning from Buddha is to abstain from doing all that is evil, to do all that is good, and to cultivate and conduct oneself according to Buddha’s teachings. Once the great compassion and good nature are established, one can learn great Buddha Dharma and attain accomplishment quickly and expediently. Why do holy virtuous ones emphasize dharmic stipulations of the inner-tantric initiations? One reason is to prevent cultivators from following evil masters and charlatans. More importantly, only an inner-tantric initiation can enable the disciple to timely reach and communicate with the Yidam, who is a Buddha or a Bodhisattva. If the initiation is a State Practice Initiation of the Seed of Holy Cause, the disciple will see Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in space right then and can enter the world of a holy state at any time later.

Synopsis of Answer No. 6:

In any lineage of the true Dharma of the Tathagata, there are always traitors. Because the mission of true Buddha Dharma is benefiting living beings, leading living beings to attain holiness, and forbidding deceiving people with evil intentions, it does not agree with the evil masters and charlatans whose purpose is to defraud people for money and sex through transmitting false Buddha-dharma. Because true Buddha Dharma thwarts these charlatans from getting money and sex, they will, of course, oppose it. Therefore, to continue their way of fraud, they will definitely take the only choice that is betrayal.

Synopsis of Answer No. 7:

On what is manifest such as the opening of the crown or the initial state of Xianliang Great Perfection, the “initiation of state practice” and the “empowerment of state practice” seem similar, but they are completely different in nature. In the initiation, the Buddha or Bodhisattva accepts the disciple in person, while in the empowerment, the Buddha or Bodhisattva just bestows empowerment but does not accept the disciple. Additionally, some people take the manifest phenomenon of receiving the empowerment from a Tremendously Holy Virtuous One to fake as receiving an initiation to their disciples. They can even be so wicked as to deceive their disciples by saying that it was due to their own realization and dharmic power. There are very many people of this kind. They are all ordinary beings plus charlatans. Please inquire at the Headquarters, and you will know the specifics right away.

Synopsis of Answer No. 8:

Some masters deceivingly claim to be able to confer an inner-tantric initiation for his disciples, having received an initiation or empowerment from a great holy master themselves. Attention: anyone who has received an inner-tantric initiation must have a Measuring Vajra Rope. Without this object of evidence, it may just be inner-tantric empowerment or only deceit. To find out what qualifications an individual person possesses, please inquire at the World Buddhism Association Headquarters. No false claim can survive since the complete records exist.

Synopsis of Answer No. 9:

What is “Presenting the Three Vajra Pestles”? The three pestles are the “Earth Pestle” that requires a person whose age is around 60 and whose body weight is about 170 pounds to single-handedly present the Earth Pestle weighing 200 pounds; the “Heaven Pestle” that weighs 110 pounds; and the “Dharma Pestle” that is to be presented by one’s internal power. Both the “Heaven Pestle” and the “Earth Pestle” test and verify one’s physical strength and physical health. Suppose someone weighs 170 pounds. If the person’s age is around 50, the weight of the “Earth Pestle” to be presented is 210 pounds. If the person’s age is approximately 40, the weight of the “Earth Pestle” to be presented is 220 pounds. If the person’s age is around 30, the weight of the “Earth Pestle” to be presented is 230 pounds. If the person’s age is about 20, the weight of the “Earth Pestle” to be presented is 240 pounds. If one’s body weight exceeds 170 pounds, for every additional pound of body weight, a pound should be added to the weight requirement of the “Earth Pestle.” Regarding why “Presenting the Three Vajra Pestles” and “Presenting a Petition to a Bodhisattva” are the rigorous stipulations of Dharma required by an inner-tantric mandala, please consult the original text of the answer.

Synopsis of Answer No. 10:

An inner-tantric mandala will become an ordinary mandala and no longer possess any inner-tantric effect after the great holy virtuous one who established the mandala has entered nirvana for three years and three months. However, a Buddha hall of true Buddha-Dharma built in accord with the Dharma has no time limitation.

Synopsis of Answer No. 11:

The person demonstrating “Presenting the Three Vajra Pestles” is a great rinpoche. We are not authorized to tell you his dharma name, as you requested. He is a rinpoche who is a USA citizen.

As to whether H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has ever accepted the person you asked about as a disciple in Thailand, please see the original text.

Synopsis of Answer No. 12:

A master who can confer a borrowed inner-tantric initiation must meet all of the three major requirements!!! A holy virtuous one of Gold Button Level 3 cannot preside over an Initiation of Dharma Affinity with the Yidam but can confer a real inner-tantric initiation. However, an inner-tantric initiation must be done in a real inner-tantric mandala that has completed the practices of Impersonating the Three Vajra Pestles and Presenting a Petition to a Bodhisattva. Otherwise, the disciple will not have any beneficial effect in the dharma practice.

Synopsis of Answer No. 13:

To attain accomplishment and liberation takes three great asankhyeya kalpas (3.84 billion years). One also must broadly practice the six paramitas subsumed in the myriad of deeds. Only inner-tantric initiations enable one to attain accomplishment in seven lifetimes, in three lifetimes, or the current lifetime, or even in the present moment if one could learn the holiest Dharma. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said that as long as one genuinely practices cultivation and Dharma according to what He teaches, one can attain accomplishment in the current lifetime no matter which one is.

As of now, we have not heard of any inner-tantric mandala in the world. Wangzha Shangzun already announced last year that a genuine inner-tantric mandala would be established in the United States this year.

Synopsis of Answer No. 14:

You asked whether H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has an inner-tantric mandala. The answer is He never has one. He is a Buddha, why does He need an inner-tantric mandala? Wherever His Holiness the Buddha is present and transmitting the Dharma is an inner-tantric mandala possessing holy siddhi.

Synopsis of Answer No. 15:

Only with the realization of Gold Button Levels is a person indeed a venerable one. A Shangzun at the level of Gold Button Level 3 does not have the absolute confidence to be able to “Present a Petition to a Bodhisattva.” Only a Shangzun who is above the level of Gold Button Level 3 can definitely accomplish “Present a Petition to a Bodhisattva.” Regarding the fact that different people with entirely different accomplishments of cultivation reached the same level of the blue button(s) from the test, please see the original text of answers in the book titled Brief Synopses and Original Texts of the Answers from Holy Virtuous Ones and Eminent Monastics for details.

Regarding the question about whether the Dharma of Empowerment by Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Great Compassion practiced by a so-and-so person has the lineage of true Buddha-Dharma or is it from a lineage of the descendants of the Mara King, please inquire at World Buddhism Association Headquarters. Otherwise, receiving wrong empowerment will bring one bad luck and suffering.

Synopsis of Answer No. 16:

Why would some people oppose the stipulations of the Dharma regarding an inner-tantric mandala? This is because those who resist are definitely all false holy ones and real swindlers. They have no realization of accomplishment to establish an inner-tantric mandala and can only perform fake inner-tantric initiations. They hate the stipulations of true Buddha-Dharma to their bones. If they did not immediately oppose the requirements as soon as they are presented, these people would, before their disciples, expose the fact that they always perform fake inner-tantric initiations and would be unable to cover up their nature of being swindlers. For details, please see the original text of the answer.

Synopsis of Answer No. 17:

Using various kinds of lighting and chemistry, magicians can create an earth-quake or something. They can make an airplane or automobile vanish or appear. However, no great magician can ever transform a sheet of paper with the disciple’s writings into rainbow light. “Presenting a Petition to a Bodhisattva” can only be accomplished by a master who is a Bodhisattva with the status of a tremendously holy virtuous one. “Sending a petition” is to put the document of the petition before the crowd. Without using fire, the Bodhisattva will come from space to the site to take the petition, which will transform into a rainbow and fly away. On the other hand, “burning a petition” is to burn the petition by flame. Any person can do that.

Synopsis of Answer No. 18:

One who has the realization of accomplishment of Gold Button Level 1 or Gold Button Level 2 is still at risk of receding from the attained accomplishment. The original text of Answer No. 18 has real examples to explain this fact.

Synopsis of Answer No. 19:

To perform a borrowed inner-tantric initiation entails at least three disciples receiving the initiation. The “Measuring Vajra Rope” used in the initiation will be cut into sections according to the number of people and distributed among them. The Vajra pill will also be ground into powders to be divided among them. A real inner-tantric initiation received by a single person will have a “Measuring Vajra Rope” with a length between 16.5 feet and 33 feet. If the disciple receiving the initiation does not possess a “Measuring Vajra Rope,” the initiation is not a real inner-tantric initiation. The distance between the master and the disciple is measured using the length of this rope, which must not be less than 16.5 feet. If you want to find out whether the rope possessed by a particular person is real or forged, please inquire at the World Buddhism Association Headquarters.

Synopsis of Answer No. 20:

Although a Vajra pill is hard and very small, the pill’s interior is a Vajra mandala. After the Inner-tantric Yidam enters this mandala, the pill will change its size and height, can perform an acrobatic skating dance, and will manifest miraculous transformations.

Synopsis of Answer No. 21:

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has never accepted offerings. The key to whether one can learn Buddha-dharma or not is in whether one truly has a pious mind. One who makes a false vow will not be approved by the yidam Bodhisattva and cannot attain accomplishment even if the Dharma is taught to such a person. There is a person who usurped the capital and resources of the Buddhist undertaking “Fa-bi-Sheng” for 30 years, but H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III never asked for anything in return from her. Such a significant matter never seems to have occurred to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, physically or mentally.

Separately, a holy virtuous one who can only confer a borrowed inner-tantric initiation is not a non-receding Bodhisattva. It is possible such a person recedes from his achievement.

Synopsis of Answer No. 22:

The thin, white facial light between the eyebrows that represents one of the thirty-two major elegant marks of a Buddha cannot be seen by those who do not possess the karmic condition or speak falsely to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who are insincere and have told lies to a Buddha, who are extremely selfish, who have violated solemn precepts; who are not kind in mind, who are demonic persons or evil ghosts and monsters, and who do not sincerely learn from Buddha to cultivate themselves. In December last year (2017), H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III manifested His real facial appearance of a Buddha. The scene was seen by more than 70% of the people present with their own eyes. The observation by each of them was different. What some saw was the utmost and penetratingly transparent red complexion with embodied beauty resembling a red coral, while to some others, it was like a brilliant sun, emitting radiance that kept their eyes from opening. As to the thin white light between the eyebrows of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, they saw different types of miraculous transformations. Some people saw H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III manifesting two completely different appearances within a few minutes. Others did not see anything. The definitions of the thirty-two major elegant marks of a Buddha are not fixed. This is because Buddhas respond to karmic conditions and manifest according to the species of living beings to save them. The views seen by people can be different.

Synopsis of Answer No. 23:

The “Buddha-bestowed holy Amrit” can only be given by an Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattva, a Marvelous Enlightenment Bodhisattva, or a Buddha. A Great Bodhisattva can, at most, give Amrit through trees or flowers. The difference between Amrit through trees or flowers and the “Buddha-bestowed holy Amrit” is like heaven and earth. Amrit has different types and different holy empowerment, such as:

Initiation by the Utmost Precious Holy Amrit can enable one to attain the accomplishment to become a great holy person on the spot, realizing the state of nirvana with complete awareness.

If one can abide by the precepts in one’s cultivation and practice without violating the precepts in the Amrit Protection Longevity Mantra, the Initiation of the Great Precious Amrit can expand one’s lifespan to 125 years. It can enable one to attain accomplishment and liberation in 12 years and realize the state of nirvana with complete awareness.

Initiation by the Bodhi Amrit will enable one to attain accomplishment and liberation in 20 years, with a lifespan of 125 years. However, one must abide by the precepts in the Amrit Protection Longevity Mantra. If any violation is committed, one must sincerely repent and correct within 15 days. Otherwise, the Amrit and its effect will be lost without a trace.

Initiation with the sprinkling of the Bodhi Amrit has only 5% of the effect.

Amrit pills have only 2% of the effect.

Synopsis of Answer No. 24:

One who can “Establish a Mandala through a Separation by a Slab of Stone” or “Forecast the Future” is a true non-receding tremendously holy virtuous one and has already possessed the cultivated accomplishment of “Presenting a Petition to a Bodhisattva.”

Synopsis of Answer No. 25:

The “Fine Horse Walking Dharma” is initial-stage holy Dharma. One who practices this Dharma is unable to establish an inner-tantric mandala. One must reach Gold Button Level 3 or above to be able to do that. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III expounded the Dharma to tell us that only cultivation is fundamentally essential. If you want to beseech this Dharma, find other great holy virtuous ones somewhere else.

Synopsis of Answer No. 26:

Venerable Mozhi, who is at the level of Gold Lotus Button, is still unable to establish an Inner-tantric Mandala and can only confer a Borrowed Inner-tantric Initiation. Those famous figures you mentioned are only at the levels of the blue button(s) and possess no accomplishment of realization to establish an Inner-tantric Mandala at all. They cannot perform Inner-tantric Initiations either.

Synopsis of Answer No. 27:

Those masters who teach people must submerge themselves deeply in the sutras and understand the principles of the teachings and the essence of the Dharma. Otherwise, they will inevitably lead people to enter evil gates and descend in the lower realms. This is because they are false masters and complete outsiders to Buddhism.

Synopsis of Answer No. 28:

A venerable title doesn’t imply the person is a venerable one. One must be at the Gold Button level to be a venerable one. A venerable one wearing a lotus button is a truly venerable one. One at Gold Button Level 3 is a Shangzun. The title refers to a great Bodhisattva who is above venerable ones. Regardless of how high one’s status may be, any master at the levels of Blue Button has not attained the realization of an Arhat and is not a holy virtuous one. Such a master can at most confer a transmitted inner-tantric initiation and cannot confer a borrowed inner-tantric initiation. Holy virtuous ones at Gold Button Level 1 or above but have not reached Gold Button Level 3 can only confer a borrowed inner-tantric initiation and cannot confer a direct inner-tantric initiation. There are also an extremely few holy persons who do not want to disclose their names or come forward to take the test for the level but are truly holy ones. Still, this type of person must have a holy realization and absolutely possess great kindness and great compassion. Additionally, with a one-hundred-percent certainty, they possess a few of the Five Vidyas. Moreover, they do not fall into the 128 Evil and Erroneous Views. Otherwise, they cannot be holy ones.

Synopsis of Answer No. 29:

A Worldly dharma-cultivation refers to the Dharma and cultivation that have not undergone a holy selection or that have undergone a holy selection, but the Yidam did not arrive to give approval. A holy dharma-cultivation, on the other hand, has been approved by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas only bear responsibility for the holy dharma-cultivation. If it is a holy dharma-cultivation, not one sentence can be changed, or it will immediately become a worldly dharma-cultivation and may even become evil Dharma.

Synopsis of Answer No. 30:

Why must inner-tantric initiations be performed in an inner-tantric mandala that meets the two major stipulations of the Dharma? The reason is to protect and serve cultivators who learn from Buddha and to prevent evil masters and charlatans from defrauding them. Evil masters and charlatans definitely will not be able to present the Three Vajra Pestles or accomplish Presenting a Petition to a Bodhisattva no matter how cunning they may be. Therefore, they have no realization powers to establish an inner-tantric mandala. Only a true great holy virtuous one or a Great Bodhisattva can establish an inner-tantric mandala. Moreover, only an inner-tantric initiation performed in an inner-tantric mandala can allow the disciple to receive the initiation and have beneficial effects in the dharma practice.

Synopsis of Answer No. 31:

Presenting a Petition to a Bodhisattva is, based on the content defined in the petition, to invoke at least a non-receding Bodhisattva to arrive at the site to accept the petition. The great holy master performing the Dharma will cause the petition, which is placed far away, to transform into a rainbow and fly away before the disciples. The fact the petition is taken away means the content has been accepted and thus is correct. If the petition is not taken away by the Great Bodhisattva, then it means the Bodhisattva does not approve it, and the petition is incorrect or evil.

Synopsis of Answer No. 32:

An ordinary Buddha hall is not a Buddha hall of true Buddha-dharma! A Buddha hall of true Buddha-dharma is not an inner-tantric mandala! A Buddha hall of true Buddha-dharma can only be established by a master who has received the Inner-tantric Initiation of Establishing a Buddha Hall. A professional master in building Buddha halls cannot violate the precepts. Otherwise, this master who breaks the tenets will lose the realization power of establishing Buddha halls. However, the Buddha hall(s) previously built by this master will not be affected. A master who can build a Buddha hall of true Buddha-dharma must hold and possess a three-colored Vajra rope received at the time of receiving the inner-tantric initiation on building Buddha halls of true Buddha-dharma. An inner-tantric mandala can only be established by a tremendously holy virtuous one or great holy virtuous one. Since there exists no inner-tantric mandala now, there is no way to transmit the Dharma of establishing Buddha halls.

Synopsis of Answer No. 33:

The purpose of World Buddhism Association Headquarters carrying out the tests is to help everyone tell the true from the false and the good from the evil, lest they are defrauded or deceived. False masters have the following behaviors:

They hold up the signs of great holy ones and great Bodhisattvas to commit fraud.

They demand their disciples to take oaths or curses to pledge their loyalty and do not allow them to follow other masters.

They commit severe violations against Sakyamuni Buddha’s teachings and precepts, forge false Buddha-dharma, fabricate incorrect textbooks, and harm their followers. They are as vicious as vultures or beasts.

They fake to be holy even though they are ordinary. They have neither accomplishment nor virtue; they violate ethical human relationships and snatch offerings by deceit.

They are exposed as amateurs when tested on the sutras and teachings for their answers are full of mistakes; They falsely boast having holy realization and inner-power, but in fact, there is nothing but depleted physical strength wrapped in a shell that is full of sickness. They are purely outsiders to the sutras, cultivation, or the meanings of Buddha-dharma.

Baselessly piece together and give discourses with the heretic view of nihilism to deceive and harm living beings with poisonously malicious effects.

Synopsis of Answer No. 34:

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the only Buddha recognized by dharma kings and rinpoches of all major Buddhist sects of the world in the history of Buddhism. The teachings and the dharmas imparted by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III are not the teachings and the dharmas of sect or school linked to a patriarch or a particular vehicle such as Vajrayana, Mahayana, or Hinayana. They treat all Buddhist vehicles, sects, and schools equally; They are in the same system as the teachings and dharmas of Sakyamuni Buddha and are pure and true Buddha-dharma.

Synopsis of Answer No. 35:

Cultivators must use the 128 views to check and verify all masters below but not including Gold Button Level 3.

One’s merit can genuinely be different in terms of magnitude and level. The merit from presenting an offering to or supporting a rinpoche, dharma master, or temple cannot compare to that from submitting an offering to Sakyamuni Buddha. The difference is like that between the sky and the ground. The toddler in Budapest had an extremely excellent karmic condition to present a handful of sand as an offering to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. The merit of his pure mentality and action was limitless.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is of selflessness, humility, and holy purity. He has not said one word of complaint, even the product Fabisheng, which He invented, was usurped by someone for her own gain for 30 years. His Holiness the Buddha does not pursue fame or profit and is entirely selfless and free of greed. Besides, the height of His achievements in the Five Vidyas, His bestowing the holy Amrit as a Buddha, and the 32 major elegant marks of a Buddha possessed by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III are all patent evidence that proves H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is a Buddha! His good deeds and holy feats, which are more than what many books can contain, are being compiled.
