Headquarters' Public Announcements

The Venerable Tsemang: “…Today, Buddhist disciples from all over the world have once again gathered here to commemorate the Holy Birthday and infinite merit of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. We want to express our gratitude to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III for bringing to humanity His magnificent, unprecedented, and unsurpassed Buddha Dharma and accomplishment in the Five Vidyas. I will summarize the questions that some of you have raised recently and share my personal thoughts for your reference…”

The Dharma Assembly to celebrate the Holy Birthday of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, and to respectfully welcome the advent of the Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection was held in Glendale, CA on June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2013. Venerable Rambo Tsemang and Jiaozun Zhengda gave speeches in the ceremony. This post is the text of their speeches.

The behaviors of Cai Zhen Mei and Yang Hui Jun, barking in the Main Hall and physically attacking others, have inflicted egregious disturbance among Buddhist practitioners. Their words and deeds have atrociously deviated from the teachings of the Buddha. They have violated the fundamental Buddhist code of ethics, morality, and cultivating principles. Meanwhile, the investigation by the Group of the Holy Gurus determined that these two have seriously regressed. Therefore, the World Buddhism Association Headquarters deliberates: We withdraw the Rinpoche status of Cai Jen Mei and Yang Hui Jun and cancel all of their Blue Button and Black Button rankings.

Regarding your inquiries: which temples or temples under construction follow the correct teachings and practice the authentic Dharma? For those temples whose names were handwritten in calligraphy by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III or the temples-to-be-built approved by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, are they all practicing True Dharma? Which Buddhist masters are qualified to perform an inner tantric initiation or holy inner tantric initiation? Here are the replies.

In fact, whether an individual is a Tathagata, Bodhisattva, or Arahat, the Buddhas have established the Eighteen Kinds of Great Dharma for Holiness Selection and Confirmation. By way of them, all frauds will show their true colors easily. Any evil master, whether they sit on the Dharma king’s rostrum, a patriarch of a Buddhist lineage, a repository of sutras and treatises, or who can talk nineteen to the dozen, once put under the Dharma for confirmation, righteous or evil will reveal itself immediately. It is why the impostors dare not try any of the Eighteen Dharmas, because ordinary people will not be able to conduct any of these Dharmas successfully and will expose their frauds under the sun.
