We now publish the Dharma image of the Elder Monk Yinhai, as well as some other pictures. The body of Holy Monk Yinhai underwent a divine transformation ten days after His passing, setting up the first instance of divine transformation after passing in the entire Buddhist history. Buddhist cultivators can worship these pictures and thus receive great blessings. There are totally seven pictures…
A lot of places are now arranging to hold “the One Hundred Holy Assemblies”. Using that name for their Dharma assemblies is really a joke. People are making a mistake because they don’t really understand what the “One Hundred Holy Assemblies” really are. What you are having is not what is officially named “the One Hundred Holy Assemblies” but just a type of Dharma assembly. It is fine to hold one hundred Dharma assemblies. That is a good thing to do. But, holding “the One Hundred Holy Assemblies” is not fine, because “the One Hundred Holy Assemblies” are the holy assemblies formed with certain holy people, a certain origination, a certain place, a certain time and certain meritorious power.
A great holy virtuous one wrote the following edifying discourse. It is very precise and wonderful, and right to the point. The arguments are not common, proving Him as a Shangzun of Gold Button Level 3! This Headquarters now publishes the original text in the following.
Wangzha Shangzun said: “Those evil people are very cunning. But however cunning they may be, they cannot change their original evil nature. They will come right out if they feel there is a chance for them to destroy true Buddha Dharma. Therefore, we can now use a simple method to capture those evil masters and cheaters. It is called the bag formation. With it, we can easily capture those evil people and expose them in the bright daylight.”
With both sadness and joy, we at the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters hereby announce a shocking event today. The great holy monk in our mind and eyes, the overall guiding master in Tripitaka of the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters, Elder Monk Yinhai, has left us after perfect practices. A top-level great holy monk is forever gone in the world.
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III says: “The qualified gurus you Headquarters has examined and certified based on good deeds are not necessarily achievers of Dharma abilities in essence. Whether a master is good or bad, correct or evil, should be broadly evaluated from their virtue, deeds, sutra teaching, and ability from their practice. Even those Buddhist cultivators who have done good deeds could hold erroneous and evil views and understanding. Such phenomena are there. If they hold erroneous or evil views but do not correct themselves, then they are evil people. On the other hand, if they correct themselves immediately after realizing their mistakes, that says they are cultivating themselves. Anyway, it is good as long as they do all good deeds and refrain from doing all that is bad.”
In order to help Buddhist cultivators select a kind and knowledgeable person to learn with, one who are virtuous, practices cultivation, have dharma power, and know Buddha Dharma, the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters spent two years on holding public exams to people of master level. There have been a total of 11,657 Buddhists from all over the world who came to register for taking the test, including Dharma listening masters, Dharma transmitting masters, the venerables, dharma kings, rinpoches, dharma masters, and laymen. There were 3,273 people who formally entered the written test on the Sutra, Vinaya, and Abhidharma consisting one hundred problems, and there were only 1,085 people who had the final qualification for taking the test on holiness levels.
Through the written test given to those who are masters and Buddhist cultivators in the past two years, we have found in practice that 98% of those masters with the title of venerable, dharma king, great rinpoche or dharma master had scored lower than 60 points in their written test on Sutra, Vinaya and Sastra. Some dharma kings and rinpoches only scored 20 some points.
Above is the inquiry letter from a Buddhist regarding the matter of a master testing his disciples. In fact, testing disciples is a thing that should not happen at all! What should happen is observing whether the disciple’s speech and conduct are in line with good behaviors.
if you do not judge what is right or wrong according to the public announcements, then you deserve being cheated, because that is the retribution you will get for not reading the public announcements, not verifying what is right or wrong using the public announcements, and not listening to the teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!
