the Buddhist test on holiness levels held by our United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters does not only test the candidate on Tripitaka and correct vs. evil views and understanding, but also requires the candidate to pass the holy test, which is a test performed according to the Rituals of Beseeched Vinaya Articles to be Applied in the Holy Test that is used specifically for selecting holy and virtuous ones.
False Buddha dharmas have deceived many Buddhist disciples who devote themselves piously and sincerely. There are too many fake holy people with grandiose titles in the world of Buddhism nowadays. A lot of notable rinpoches, great dharma kings, and dharma masters all claim that they are great holy beings and can fly away as a bird or pass in rainbow light. Still, the fact is not what they say at all…
The Buddhist Dharma attire of levels clearly shows the holiness level on the clothes worn by the holy gurus. Blue buttons indicate the Sumeru Wheel, and gold buttons indicate the Sun-moon Wheel. One button indicates one level. The levels are star wheels. For example, one blue button means Blue Button Level 1, which equals the One-Star Sumeru Wheel. Two blue buttons are Blue Button Level 2, which equals the Two-Star Sumeru Wheel. Three blue buttons are Blue Button Level 3, which equals the Three-Star Sumeru Wheel…
…We at the Headquarters have decided, after discussion, to make Buddhist dharma attires bearing the holiness levels for the holy gurus to wear. This action is to protect the Buddhist cultivators’ benefit, to prevent ordinary liars and evil masters from cheating, to prevent Buddhists from being harmed by regressed masters and fake holy gurus, and to prevent many liars from forging holiness level certificates and pretending to be holy. That is, we will put the star-wheel dharma attires that indicate the holiness levels on the monastic cassocks and rinpoche’s robes…

We take this opportunity of the auspicious and extraordinary 2013 Dharma Assembly to invite everyone to join us in making vows together. We sincerely beseech the Buddhas of the ten directions to bless the United States with peace and prosperity, bountiful harvests, freedom from disasters and hardships, for all nations of the world, for humanity and sentient beings to live in happiness, with abundant auspiciousness and everlasting peace. We respectfully pray to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III not to forsake us practitioners, and may He personally come to the Dharma Assembly to bestow blessings.
What is cultivation? This is a very fundamental lesson; indeed, the first lesson. Nonetheless, this is an important matter that many cultivators, including those who have practiced cultivation over many years, do not understand and are confused about.
