- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20180108](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20180108/) - The Inquiry Center of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters already replied to your inquiry publicly. Now you are asking the same question again. We now reply to you one more time, but we still won’t mention your master’s name. You asked why he said that he had learned the Namo Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Blessing Dharma even though he had not. That just means that he told lies to deceive people.

Dorje Chang Buddha III as the Pope Of World Buddhism, but H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III refused to accept it. The World Buddhism Association Headquarters accepted the canonization order and the scepter for the purpose of broadcasting true Buddha Dharma and benefiting all living beings. When the World Buddhism Association Headquarters respectfully presented the canonization order as the Pope Of World Buddhism and the scepter to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said: “Shakyamuni Buddha sits majestically at the tip of the scepter. We should respect Namo Shakyamuni Buddha.” Then He held the scepter high above the Head, holding palms with a single hand to signify respect. However, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha said that He is only a humbled practitioner of cultivation. He sternly refused the canonization and returned the order and the scepter to the two councils.

On March 6, 2019, the temple was crowded with a large and orderly congregation of Buddhists. Their sole purpose was to meet Wangzha Shangzun.
- [Announcement 20150109: Important Announcement Regarding Taking the Test For Holiness Levels](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150109/) - Buddhist disciples! Pay attention to the following 8 points. 1. Among those holding the holy and virtuous status certificate in the various places in the world nowadays, many of them have regressed from being holy to being ordinary and started harboring evil views. They have not dared to register for the test so far, and instead are cheating people with lies. Do watch carefully so that you do not fall prey to their deceit...
- [I Finally Witnessed the Great Dharma of Holy Fire-Offering](https://www.wbahq.org/reports-by-news-media/mr-20181024/) - On September 19, 2018, one of tremendously holy virtue conducted a “Holy Fire-Offering Dharma Assembly” that was officially held at the Holy Miracles Temple in the United States. The dharma assembly took place at the Grand Hall of the Buddhas and the courtyard right outside the hall. It was a complete success.
- [Announcement 20190105: An Important and Solemn Announcement by the Headquarters](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20190105/) - The World Buddhism Association Headquarters received some questions that must be answered correctly. Members of the Group of Holy Gurus has now provided the following correct answers. Please pay careful attention to understand every answer. 1. Any masters, regardless of how high their Blue Button levels are, are not able to perform a genuine Inner-tantric Initiation for disciples. They can at most conduct a verbal inner-tantric of the Vairocana IX of the Nyingma Lineage. The same is true for all the other sects...
- [Headquarters Announcement No. 20190103](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20190103/) - The announcement issued by the World Buddhism Association Headquarters on January 14, 2019 (No. 20190101) already stated very clearly the principles and the nature of the following questions brought up by Buddhist disciples, but some people are still sending in questions. We will now reply to you pithily and succinctly the questions you asked.
- [HQ Announcement 20200101: Correct Reply to an Important Inquiry](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20200101/) - ...If someone is an incarnation of a Buddha or Bodhisattva, but does not have holy corporeity or holy physical power, their physical constitution and strength are just like that of an ordinary person, and they cannot even surpass the World’s Strongest Man for Lifting the Pestle onto the Platform; can they be a Holy Guru? Can they be the incarnation of a great Bodhisattva? They are but an ordinary person, a con artist, a liar, or an evildoer!
- [HQ Announcement 20200102: Correct Group Study –A Group Study Shall Not Deviate from The Topics ](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20200102/) - Nowadays, Buddhists worldwide are organizing and joining online study group classes, which is an excellent deed with innumerable merits. However, some study group organizers with erroneous views have strayed into the scheme of Mara the Demon King. A study group provides a platform to share and guide Buddhist studies. However, some organizers have deviated from the topics and turned into a disguised Buddhist discourse that distorts Dharma by citing and referencing erroneous and heretical Buddhist content.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20180101](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20180101/) - It has been verified that Wangqiu Rinpoche does not have true Buddha Dharma transmission. What he practices is a fake Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva Blessing Dharma and is a transformation from evil. On the other hand, What Dharma Master Zhizhuang practices is the Nam Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Blessing Dharma of true Buddha Dharma transmission.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20180102](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20180102/) - The difference in the wonderful powers of empowerment between the Holy Fire Offering Buddha Dharma and the Regular Fire Offering Buddha Dharma is very huge, as huge as the difference between the heaven and earth or between a big mountain and a small rock. It is very difficult to encounter the Holy Fire Offering in the whole world.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20180103](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20180103/) - You come to make inquiries as soon as the announcements were made by the Inquiry Center of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters. The Headquarters blesses you, because you have finally come to the realization to pursue the correct views and understanding. If you should fall prey to deceit by evil people, get blinded by their lies, and you keep in yourself the bewilderment without any answer, then you would deserve to be cheated for your whole life and end in misery.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20180104](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20180104/) - If you are not going to listen to the Dharma discourses given by the Buddha just because your master has erroneous and evil views and understanding, then people like you are completely full of sinful karma, because you have forgot about cultivating yourself and learning from Buddha completely. What does your master not having correct views and understanding have anything to do with your listening to Dharma discourses? The public announcements have once, twice, three times, four times… told you people that you can only learn from the Dharma discourses given by the Buddha and not from the conduct of your master.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20180105](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20180105/) - What are the tangible results from the holy test for Dharma Master Zhengda, Shango Chunwa Rinpoche, Longzhou Rinpoche, and Dharma Master Longhui? Which ones of the four major categories, and more specifically, which items did these Dharma masters and rinpoches got tested on to receive their grades? We want to know what their strengths are.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20180106](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r0180106/) - 1. Is the Namo Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Blessing Dharma which Shengjie Rinpoche learned from a true Buddha Dharma transmission? Can we go to attend the Namo Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Blessing Dharma which he administers? Answer: The Namo Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Blessing Dharma which Shengjie Rinpoche learned is from a true Buddha Dharma transmission.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20180107: Status of An Unnamed Master](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20180107/) - Your master, whom you asked about in your inquiry, does not have the true transmission of the Namo Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Blessing Dharma, nor is he able to administer the Namo Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Blessing Dharma of true Buddha-dharma transmission. If he practices that dharma, his transmission is from demons and devils. In this world, only H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has the authority to speak and recognize this matter.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20180109](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20180109/) - The four hidden & explicit ways; the annual examination; an art critic's article; having the crown opened; and other matters Inquiry 1: What kind of person is qualified to carry out the “four hidden ways” and the “four explicit ways”? Reply: Only great holy ones, who are at least a Shangzun at the level of Gold Button Level 3, can carry out the four hidden ways. Moreover, the hidden ways can only be applied to a disciple who is very pious and has quite remarkable a practice of cultivation. The situation is that a Shangzun who is at the level of Gold Button Level 3 wants to make this disciple the seed to the transmission of true Buddha Dharma or, in other words, transmit true Buddha Dharma to this disciple.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20190101](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20190101/) - The Holy Gurus of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters hereby address the three inquiries below and reply as follows: 1. Buddhist disciples beware! No temple in this world can represent the Ancient Buddha Temple, True Dharma Temple or the Holy Miracles Temple. Any other temple can only speak for their own. They cannot represent the three great temples: the Ancient Buddha Temple, the True Dharma Temple, and the Holy Miracles Temple! These three great temples with true Buddha Dharma are officiated by Tremendously Great Holy Gurus and Great Holy Gurus at Bodhisattva levels.
- [Announcement 20150102: Correct Reply to Inquiries](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150102/) - 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...
- [Announcement 20150103: Regarding the Holiness Levels Test](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150103/) - 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...
- [Announcement 20150113: Reply to Inquiry](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150113/) - Wangzha Shangzun, who is Gold Button Level 3, said: “A regular Holy Guru, no matter who they are, has no qualification to transmit Dharma on behalf of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. They can only transmit Dharma by themselves. A Gold Button Level 5 Tremendously Holy Guru can transmit the supreme great dharma of State-practice Initiation on behalf of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Other than that, a Gold Button Level 4 Tremendously Holy Guru can perform holy inner-tantric initiations or transmit great esoteric or exoteric Dharma on behalf of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. A Great Holy Guru of Gold Button Level 3 can only perform inner-tantric initiation and transmit corresponding Dharma of esoteric and exoteric sects on behalf of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20160102](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20160102/) - 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.
- [Announcement No. 20190101: A Vajrayana disciple asks on behalf of those being put to Zejue](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20190101/) - A question was raised by a disciple of the Vajrayana tradition on behalf of the candidates attending the Determination by Holy Selection (aka. Zejue): “I attended the Determination by Holy Selection of the Dharma of Yamantaka Vajra this time. I am grateful to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the holy virtuous persons for giving me this opportunity, which enabled me to have the good fortune of seeing the true appearance of Yamantaka Vajra in my current lifetime. However, we just cannot understand the fact that among the 27 candidates attending the Determination by Holy Selection, only two successfully practiced the Dharma of Yamantaka Vajra and manifested the true appearance of Yamantaka Vajra.
- [HQ Announcement 20210103: The Unsurpassed and Supreme Buddha Dharmas Among the Eighty-Four Thousand Dharma-Gates](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20210103/) - Regarding the inquiry of the ranking orders of the Eighteen Dharmas, the team of the Holy Gurus of the Headquarters now solemnly and 100% accurately conveys the following: It is plausible that the inquirer has not received the initiation of the Bodhi Path Sin Decrease and Merit Increase Dharma, and it is reasonable to assume
- [Reply to Inquiry 20210102](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20210102/) - The name Vajra master originated from a translation of the Tibetan word Acaryas which encompasses very broad and general constituents. This name embodies various concepts of being a Vajra master and categorically represents different Vajra masters: authentic Vajra master, fake Vajra master, mediocre Vajra master, and holy Vajra master. The differences in caliber between them are like night and day. Suppose a Buddhist practitioner can impart common Buddhist ordinances and doctrines, uphold strict precepts, propagate Dharma, and benefit the public and all beings. In that case, this Buddhist practitioner can be a teacher and in Vajrayana, this teacher is called a Vajra master.
- [Announcement 20150101](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150101/) - ...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...
- [Reply to Inquiry No.20210103](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20210103/) - Regarding the inquiry that a particular individual falsely claimed to have obtained permission from His Holiness the Buddha and declared to Buddhist practitioners that Feng shui and fortunetelling can change fortune and fate, the team of Holy Gurus of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters has respectfully submitted a verification petition to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. His Holiness the Buddha proclaims, "It is a vicious fallacy against causality and inherently an evil ideology. I have already elucidated the distinction between the righteous and evil of this kind. You are pitiful if you align with evil, and no one can save you."
- [Replying to Inquiry #20210101](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20210101/) - We, the team of Holy Gurus, have respectfully submitted our verification petition to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. His Holiness, the Buddha Master, proclaims: "From the lineage of Jiaozun Shih Zhengda, Dharma Master Shih Zhizhuang is the third-generation authentic Buddha Dharma transmission holder of the Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva's Blessing Dharma.
- [Announcement 20150104: Overview of the Ritual to be Applied in the Holy Test](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150104/) - 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.
- [Announcement 20150108: A brief description of the differences among those of the same holiness level; The Eight-wind Array](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150108/) - The holy and virtuous ones of the same level, who hold certificates of the same holiness level, can have totally different actual content levels of accomplishment! The difference primary lies between the holy and virtuous ones who passed the test on only a single item and the holy and virtuous ones who passed the test on their overall quality. The ones who passed the test on a single item have accomplished in an item of virtue, and the ones who passed the test on the overall quality have accomplished in the overall quality of virtue...
- [Announcement No. 20150110: Vajra Array Test](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150110/) - Pay special attention. There are two ways to take the Vajra Array Test. One is to follow the normal sequence of test, and the other is to directly take the test. A candidate who wants to take the Vajra Array Test must apply to do it at registration. Someone who plans to take the Vajra Array Test through the normal sequence can call it off if he or she does not want to take it any more at the test time, but those who apply to directly take the Vajra Array Test cannot cancel it.
- [Announcement 20150114](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150114/) - The titles of the levels we publish today are based on the reasoning of the teachings and chosen by Divination and Divine Foretelling and Famen Gongyu that are employed in the holy test. These titles are definitive
- [Announcement 20150116: Famen Gongyu](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150116/) - Wangzha Shangzun said: “The explanation about Famen Gongyu which this Headquarters announced on October 1 is too short and simplistic; people don’t understand where it comes from. Since it is mentioned, its description needs to be a bit more detailed."
- [H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Expounds Dharma: <i>Learning From Buddha</i>](https://www.wbahq.org/dharma-discourses/learning-from-buddha/) - Explanation by the Publisher: ...This book, Learning from Buddha, is a Dharma that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III openly expounded in Miami, Florida for disciples who accompanied Him on that trip. It is also a most important Dharma treasure that all Buddhist disciples must study and put into practice in order to attain accomplishment and liberation. When the Buddha was expounding this Dharma, a gigantic leaf of a Western bodhi tree fell from the air in front of all who were there. That occurrence added a holy miracle to this Dharma treasure... (The English translation was last updated on September 24, 2020.)
- [HQ Announcement 20210101: An Impostor Will Not Dare To Practice These Eighteen Dharmas](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20210101/) - 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.
- [Announcement No. 20150111](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150111/) - There are some people who have earned very practical merits but the levels which they attained from the holy test are not high. This kind of situation does totally exist, and moreover, it happens at quite a high percentage. Even though from the surface, those people look as if having done very practical Buddhist undertakings, their motivations must be questioned. For example, some folks have set up many Dharma-listening centers to propagate the Dharma voice of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. They indeed have done incalculable work of merits...
- [Announcement 20150105: The difference is huge even though the level is the same](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150105/) - For people who have obtained the same level from the test, are their levels of merit and Dharma capabilities all equal? Many people came to ask the United International World Buddhism Association this question. They think Level 2 is higher than Level 1, and Level 3 is higher than Level 2. In fact, there is a gray area in there. You may think one who has the ability to apply power externally must be a great holy being, but actually that person may be totally clueless about Buddhism.
- [Announcement 20150107](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150107/) - H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III also very harshly criticized us and said: “Many of the holy and virtuous ones who have passed your selection are not even as good as a good person who does not practice cultivation but they are actually elated. It is clear that they are nothing but feathery chicks, but they thought themselves to be rocs in the clouds. It is all because you guys have not done strict enough checking and have lowered the standard by a great amount. The holiness levels you have listed were vague and there are not titles for positioning them. You only addressed the issue halfway. It is easy to mislead people that way.
- [Announcement 20150117](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150117/) - The United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters is rather serious about the test it gives to the masters and holy gurus. The test is held in a few steps. First, all candidates must take the written test on Buddhist theoretical knowledge. After having taken the written test, one can then proceed to the qualification check by Famen Gongyu. Those who have passed the check are given an eligibility certificate. Only when one has the eligibility certificate can one enter the test site for the holy test.
- [Announcement 20160105](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160105/) - If a master has not passed the test to get the level but call themselves a holy being, no matter how great a dharma king, venerable, great rinpoche, or great dharma master they may be, they are an impostor who pretends to be a Buddhist. They are just a piece of scrap metal and not gold!
- [Announcement 20160112: Only the Holy Test can turn up the truth](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160112/) - if we want to watch the level of accomplishment of a master, whether the master is correct or evil, good or bad, we must check to see the robe they wear bearing the buttons which they obtained from taking the holy test, and verify them against the 128 evil and erroneous views imparted by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. There is no other way. People’s worldly hearsays are not believable, because ordinary people do not have the capability to examine the inner qualities.
- [Announcement 20160106: Evil masters and liars will expose themselves](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160106/) - Wangzha Shangzun said: “You must read this public announcement. From now on, anyone who wants to learn an important Dharma must first read, understand and be well versed in this public announcement, because any Buddhist cultivator who is going to learn and receive the initiation of a high level Dharma will be asked about it. If you are asked about the content of this public announcement and you don’t know anything about it, you will not be allowed into the hall to learn the Dharma.
- [Announcement 20160107: Wangzha Shangzun asserts the qualification to perform the dharma of Inviting Buddha to Bestow Amrit](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160107/) - Wangzha Shangzun said: "...I will state it clearly today. Based on my practice, I don’t even have one percent of the Dharma power to successfully practice the Dharma of Inviting Buddha to Bestow Amrit! Inviting Buddha to Bestow Amrit is the quintessence of the supreme jewel. Upon receiving the initiation of amrit, one can attain the holy state in tangible form on the spot. As far as extending the years of one’s life, it is only natural. But unless a Buddha, a Marvelous Enlightenment Bodhisattva or an Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattva, no one has the Dharma capability that can invite a Buddha to bestow amrit!...
- [Answer 13](https://www.wbahq.org/35answers/answer-13/) - On Day 13 of the Lunar year
- [Answer 6](https://www.wbahq.org/35answers/answer-6/) - On Day 6 of the Lunar year
- [HQ Announcement 20200107: Regarding Two Serious Issues](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20200107/) - The following announcement is regarding two serious issues. The first issue: Regarding the surging Covid-19 pandemic around the world, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III has edified the public numerous times that we must trust the measures taken by the governments and abide by the governments' Covid-19 prevention regulations and procedures...The second issue: Someone suggests that all Buddhist dharmas, including the audio recordings of dharma and Buddhist texts imparted by the Buddha, must be authenticated through dharma adjudication before we can respectfully listen to or study. This is ridiculously absurd, ludicrous, and foolish.
- [Reply to Inquiries No. 20160101](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/r20160101/) - If you simply take the 128 Evil and Erroneous Views to examine the master, you can clearly see it at a glance and tell whether he is true or fake and whether he is authentic or evil. Why would you need any other answers? If you are still not sure about it, you can directly see, from the robe that the master is wearing, which level he is, and how many buttons he has. No one can fake it. As for whether the master has retrograded, the robe he is wearing can tell you the answer, and no explanation is needed. Whether someone is holy or ordinary, one cannot pretend it.
- [Announcement 20160104](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160104/) - Some people asked: Would the master presiding over the test intentionally give some people who only pass the test for lower levels the robe and certification of a higher level? Can the robe really ascertain someone’s level for 100%? This kind of inquiry is due to not understanding the rules and the test and the live situation at the test site. You should understand that the holy and virtuous gurus’ Buddha Dharma at the headquarters is not like what those who have not obtained true transmissions and could only talk in empty theories and unrealizable dharma have. It is the Buddha Dharma truly transmitted from Shakyamuni Buddha and can manifest itself in a holy state in which its form is true and tangible.
- [Answer 23](https://www.wbahq.org/35answers/answer-23/) - On Day 23 of the Lunar year

- [Answer 5](https://www.wbahq.org/35answers/answer-5/) - On Day 5 of the Lunar year
- [Answer 4](https://www.wbahq.org/35answers/answer-4/) - On Day 4 of the Lunar year You want us at the World Buddhism Association Headquarters to give you something to guarantee the best cultivation and Dharma practice in this world. The best, of course, is the cultivation and Dharma practice expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. They include cultivation and Dharma practices such
- [Announcement 20170104: The ugly faces of the evil people are exposed](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170104/) - 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.”
- [Announcement No. 20170111: Correctly answering inquiries about the Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Blessing Dharma and Inner Tantric](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170111/) - H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said: “The blessing Dharma of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when used by a good person, is a good Dharma; and when used by a bad person, is a bad Dharma. All those who do not cultivate themselves according to the Dharma regulations, who do not carry out the principles of basing themselves on great compassion, who do not implement the decree of not doing all that is bad and doing all that is good, no matter how bad that person is, as long as that person learns this Dharma, he or she can immediately bless people and can show the scenes in the state. But they just cannot become a holy person and can never attain achievement or liberation. They will only increase the black karma for those receiving the blessing...
- [Even People with Supernormal Powers Cannot Uncover Terma with Direct Verification](https://www.wbahq.org/reports-by-news-media/mr-20190403/) - Tibetan esoteric Dharmas are classified into two major categories. One category of the Dharmas consists of those translated from sutras or Dharma manuals, which is called Gama. The other category of Dharmas are uncovered terma called Daima. Daima is further classified into Southern Tibetan and Northern Tibetan. The Dharmas of uncovered terma mean these Dharmas are obtained by uncovering the terma and they are generally called Terma Dharma. A Terma Dharma can be further categorized as Uncovering Terma with Direct Verification or Uncovering Terma without Direct Verification.
- [A Statement by WBAH, Published on USA Today and the Washington Times](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/stmt-hq-20190405/) - In order that the public truly understands World Buddhism Association Headquarters and H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, World Buddhism Association Headquarters specially states the following:We at World Buddhism Association Headquarters will assume all legal liability for the veracity of this statement.H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the supreme world leader of Buddhism. Such a status is not self-investiture! The status of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III as a Buddha did not result merely from Buddhists calling Him that out of respect.
- [“Lifting the Pestle onto the Platform” Reported by Numerous News Media](https://www.wbahq.org/reports-by-news-media/lifting-pestle/) - On February 9, 2020, there was a huge Vajra pestle of 420 pounds inside the Hall of Shakyamuni Buddha at the Holy Miracles Temple. That was the Supreme Holy Vajra Pestle that was placed on the Golden Step during a Dharma Assembly held two days earlier by Holy Gurus. Other than Tremendously Great Holy Gurus, no one in this world has ever been able to lift it one bit. Since the Supreme Holy Vajra Pestle was already placed onto the Golden Step, the Exam of Lifting the Pestle onto the Platform could not be conducted. This was because according to the Dharma rules, when this Pestle is on the Golden Step, the Vajra Hook cannot be used to lift any pestle. Otherwise, the rules would be violated. Everyone was very worried and all those who have good physical strength came forward, but no one was able to lift that pestle off the Holy Seat with one hand.
- [The Dharma of Cultivation](https://www.wbahq.org/dharma-discourses/dharma-of-cultivation/) - 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. (The English translation was last updated on October 14, 2020.)
- [The Great Dharma of Zen Practice](https://www.wbahq.org/dharma-discourses/the-great-dharma-of-zen/) - This announcement contains the Great Dharma of Zen Practice that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III taught a group of cultivators in March of 2013 in the Hall of the Three Holy Ones at Bodhi Monastery in the United States. This great Dharma was first formally published on the internet in Chinese on December 4, 2013. (The English translation was last updated on October 14, 2020.)
- [Announcement 20160108: If you don’t read the public announcements, then you are bound to fall prey to cheating](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160108/) - If you truly want to know what level of accomplishment a master has, then you must ascertain the answer from the level that master has achieved in the test and the robe the master wears bearing the buttons that correspond to the master’s level. That is the touchstone for examining the level of someone’s dharma powers and is 100% accurate without the slightest error. It is because it’s so accurate, the couplets at the entrance of the Eight-wind Array could say: “Your level revealed is exactly what your level is, so do not think your level would be any higher;” and “Your weight shown will be whatever you weigh, so there is no way you can add weight.”
- [Special Announcement: We hope you forward this special announcement to each other. You will earn boundless merits](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/spa20161211/) - 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.
- [Announcement 20160109](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160109/) - ...The most important part of the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Great Compassion Empowerment Dharma Assembly is the release of captive lives as the ending practice of the Dharma. If there is no release of captive lives, then it is a violation to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s fundamental truth of great compassion. That is a serious violation to the precept! Afterwards, there is not only no gain in good merit, but the bad merit will grow.
- [Announcement 20160111: Important Reminder](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160111/) - The book Learning From Buddha is an extremely valuable treasure for attaining liberation and accomplishment. After its publishing, many selfless and kind people who truly learn from Buddha, as well as many masters who practice true Buddha Dharma, have placed their orders for it.
- [Announcement 20170101: The Result From The Holy Test Is Published](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170101/) - 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.
- [Announcement No. 20170108: Answering Important Questions About the Holy Test](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170108/) - This Headquarters has received some feedback since we announced the completion of the exams on holiness levels. We will now make solemn and deterministic answers to some important questions in it. First, we must point out incisively that there is not one person who is an eighth-stage Bodhisattva or above in the over one thousand people who took the array formation holy test. The reason is quite simple. If one is an eight-stage Bodhisattva or above, then one does not need to take part in the holy test...
- [Announcement No. 20170109: Yidam Dharma Affinity Initiation for Participants in the One Hundred Holy Assemblies](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170109/) - The one-hundred holy Dharma assemblies hosted by me, Wangzha, is formally closed today. I have held the entire ritual for the one hundred holy Dharma assemblies. During the time of the one hundred holy assemblies, some Buddhist cultivators were very serious and responsible, their minds and deeds were very focused on chanting the sutra, chanting the Buddha’s name, chanting the mantra, and singing the praise, so that they received a lot of beneficial effects. Some other people, however, were distracted and looked at others’ expressions or actions, listened to others chanting or singing, and most deplorably, commented on others’ good and bad. That has brought impure karma to the holy assemblies...
- [Announcement No. 20170110](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170110/) - H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said: “This Buddhist does not really know what he is talking about. Mahakala the Dharma Protector, Rahula the Dharma Protector, and Ekajati the Dharma Protector are the three most powerful Dharma protectors in Tibetan Buddhism. I am no in Tibetan Buddhism, nor am I in any sect. I am in Buddhism, the Buddhism of Shakyamuni Buddha and the Buddhas in the ten directions. My Dharma protector is not to fall in the 128 evil and erroneous views, the practice I keep is the two main mind essences of the Supreme and Unsurpassed Mahamudra of Liberation as well as What is Cultivation, my truth is Expounding the Absolute Truth with Heart Sutra, my vows are not to receive any offering through my life and to expound the true Dharma of Tathagata that is common to all Buddhas in the ten directions for living beings’ happiness and liberation voluntarily.
- [Announcement 20170113: Holy Buddha Dharma Can Never Be Changed](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170113/) - In terms of Cultivation and Learning from Buddha, almost every master who transmits Dharma would say his Dharma is the best. You can say it is hard to find one out of a thousand masters who would say his Dharma is ordinary. How do you tell which Dharma is high-level and right, and which Dharma is low-level and bad? There is nothing to go by but people blowing their own trumpets. Those who are learning from Buddha are usually ordinary folks who cannot distinguish the levels and the qualities of the Dharma at all. As such, a severe problem it has become...

- [Headquarters Announcement 20210102](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/hqa20210102/) - 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.
- [Speeches Delivered by Venerable Tsemang and Jiaozun Zhengda](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/hmt-20220614/) - Transcript of Speeches Delivered by Venerable Tsemang and Jiaozun Zhengda at the Dharma Assembly Honoring the Holy Birthday of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, Held by the Holy Miracles Temple, World Buddhism Association Headquarters, On June 11 and 12, 2022.

Dorje Chang Buddha III](https://www.wbahq.org/reports-by-news-media/religious-leaders-hold-assembly-to-honor-the-birthday-of-hh-dorje-chang-buddha-iii/) - To honor the Holy Birthday of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, revered as the Pope of Buddhism, several prominent Buddhist organizations including the World Buddhism Association Headquarters, Holy Miracles Temple, Hua Zang Si, Benevolence Temple, and the Sanger Mission, jointly organized a Grand Dharma Assembly in Glendale, California. The two-day event took place on June 30th and July 1st, 2023, at the Glendale Civic Auditorium and attracted over a thousand Buddhists from around the world.
- [Definitive Tenets Expounded by Buddha](https://www.wbahq.org/skmnbd/definitive-tenets-imparted-by-buddha/) - Attention: Regardless of their sect or school, all Buddhists who practice, recite, or enter inner visualization of any Buddha Dharma—Dharmas in Exoteric Buddhism or Esoteric Buddhism, chanting the holy names of Buddhas, meditation, śamatha-vipaśyanā, and so forth—must abide by these “Definitive Tenets Imparted by Buddha” at all times. If you violate these Tenets, you will not actualize any beneficial effects or attain any accomplishment from whatever Buddha Dharmas you practice! This is of critical importance! This is of utmost importance!
- [Announcement 20150118](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150118/) - The holy test held by the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters have already completed. Due to the huge number of people attending the written test, the workload of reviewing the answer sheets is very large. The answer sheets of the middle-level holy and virtuous ones need to be reviewed by the great holy gurus; and the answer sheets of the regular masters are reviewed by the mid- and lower-level holy and virtuous ones. All answer sheets are then collected and final-reviewed by the great holy gurus...
- [Announcement 20160101](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160101/) - Nowadays, there are some masters who have fame. Because they are used to sitting high on a rostrum, they have become conceited and far removed from people. They even pretend to be holy beings intentionally or unintentionally. This headquarters has received a lot of reports. We advise you not to wrongly call yourself a holy being! You can only be a true holy being if you come to the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters and pass the test for a holy being with your own capabilities!
- [Announcement No. 20160102: The definitive sense of the level from the test and the robe that indicate one's Dharma capability and accomplishment](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160102/) - To protect Buddhist disciples from falling prey to deceit and lies, the master whom Buddhist disciples prostrate to must have their status determined by way of the test to tell whether they are holy or ordinary, and what level of accomplishment they have attained. The test result is given in accordance with the Dharma rather than the person and is based on the definitive meaning and not the provisional meaning.
- [Announcement 20160103](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160103/) - Buddhist disciples, is the master you rely on or take refuge with an ordinary person or a holy person? a high monk, great virtuous one, or an impostor with evil views and understanding, who feigns to be holy? You have to use your mind to observe them. Because it is difficult to have a human life and to encounter Buddha Dharma, since you have encountered Buddha Dharma in this lifetime, don’t walk the wrong path again. If we wrongly go and rely on a master who has evil views, we will fall into the three bad realms, go through all sorts of sufferings without hope for happiness forever, and miserably meet bad retributions.
- [HQ Announcement No. 20190106: Determining the Physical Conditions, Strengths, and Health of Male Practitioners of Buddha Dharma](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20190106/) - The World Buddhism Association Headquarters has gone through much deliberation and decided that for the sake of preventing evil masters, swindlers, and people of no Dharma realization from feigning as holy people, the test of Raising the Hall-Guarding Vajra Pestle to Platform will be implemented. However, the perfect score will be lowered to 150 points. To determine the fair and proportional testing standards for male Buddhist cultivators, the Headquarters has used the quantitative approach of the Hetu-Vidya to determine the realization states that they have truly attained. Listed below are the testing standards to give everyone a clear understanding.
- [Deliberation on the Misconducts of Yang Hui Jun and Cai Zhen Mei](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/hqa20220403/) - 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.
- [Announcement 20150115](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150115/) - We are calling the attention of all Buddhist cultivators. There is a typo error on the Public Announcement 20150114 published by the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters on September 30, 2015. The correct title of Gold Button Level 3 should be Shangzun. Please see the attachment for the correct content of the announcement.
- [Announcement 20150112](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150112/) - If a candidate has passed Blue Button Level 3 in the final holy test, then that person is eligible for taking the test for Gold Button Level 1. But note that there are two ways to take the test for Gold Button. The first is to continue the test in the Samsara Eight-wind Array for Gold Button Level 1, the second is to stop the Eight-wind Array but separately go to the Vajra Array to take the test for Gold Button Level 1. However, anyone who is going to start the test with Vajra Array must note it at the time of registration.
- [Announcement 20150106](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20150106/) - Regarding the article titled “factually recording a dream” written by Songjie Rinpoche on June 19, some people thought it was a lie. They asked the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters to verify the truth.
- [Announcement 20160110](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160110/) - After Public Announcement 20160109 was issued by United International World Buddhism Association, some people who practiced Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Great Compassion Empowerment Dharma have repented. Dharma Master Shi Longhui also made a serious self-criticism and said that it was her mistake. She has cleared up the serious mistake where those people who helped her write articles said things carelessly. The Dharma Master has a good and correct attitude, showing her position as a master. That is the behavior of cultivation. But there was another master...
- [Announcement 20160113](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160113/) - Mozhi Jiaozun said: “Can’t believe there are people who put it in writing to pretend themselves a great guru and ask their disciples to chant it every day. They are shameless! My Dharma Brother Wangzha Shangzun, who is also a rinpoche of Tibetan Buddhism like me, and I used to chant the four refuges before. We both have now changed to chant the three refuges instead.”
- [Announcement 20170102](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170102/) - 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.”
- [Announcement 20160114: The retribution from not reading the public announcements](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20160114/) - 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!
- [Announcement 20170105: Senior Monk Yinhai has only done one thing](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170105/) - 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.
- [Announcement No. 20170106: Any Dharma assemblies not held on site of the "One Hundred Holy Assemblies" are not "One Hundred Holy Assemblies"](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170106/) - 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.
- [Announcement 20170103](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170103/) - 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.
- [Announcement 20170112: Supplemental clarification regarding the Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Blessing Dharma and Inner Tantric](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20170112/) - Ever since the World Buddhism Association Headquarters’ announcement numbered 20170111 was published, many Buddhist disciples said, even though they had received the blessings from the Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Blessing Dharma, and many years had passed since they received an inner-tantric initiation, they had never thought they fell pray to swindlers. Only now do they understand that the Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Blessing Dharma as well as true inner-tantric initiations are so sacred, subtle and profound.
- [Announcement No. 20190104: Regarding the Water, Rocks, and Sand from the Holy Heavenly Lake](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20190104/) - Based on reports we obtained from geological institutions, it is verified that there is a crystal lake beneath the Holy Heavenly Lake just as H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said. The water quality of the lake is very good. Additionally, there is also a large underground river, one of the world’s only two large underground rivers that run from south to north. The water in the lake is not the water in the underground river.
- [Announcement No. 20180105: Buddha Transmits Senior Monk True Dharma and the Shengzun Again Leaves Miracle](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20180105/) - ‘There are two Dharma visages of Yinhai Shengzun that have been placed here for worship all along. What is strange is, if we now stand at the same distance away to view these two dharma visages of the Shengzun, by just one glance, the dharma visage placed for worship before Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's statue appears much larger than the other dharma visage placed for worship on the sidewall! One of the two dharma visages that are identical in size and dimensions becomes larger than the other. But when we measure them with a measuring tape, their dimensions are indeed identical without any difference.'
- [Announcement No. 20180102-Ancient Buddha Temple](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20180102/) - After searching in various countries for a long time, the World Buddhism Association Headquarters finally determined the best site, the most wonderful and treasured place, to be at the Holy Heavenly Lake, where under the ground is a huge lake of pure crystal treasure. The place is auspicious and magnificent, possessing an enormously holy power of empowerment. There is one of the only two underground rivers that run from south to north in the world with a flow volume equivalent to that of the Yangtze River. This treasured place is the most wonderful among all holy sites. This Headquarters has decided to build the Ancient Buddha Temple at the center of the crystal lake. The site has been approved by the local council as a religious site. We have decided to build the Ancient Buddha Temple as the world’s top-ranked and highest holy Buddhist oracle, and we hope that people of all walks of life, Buddhist cultivators and so on will make strong efforts to contribute to building the Ancient Buddha Temple.

Dorje Chang Buddha III, World Buddhism Association Headquarters specially states the following: 1. We at World Buddhism Association Headquarters will assume all legal liability for the veracity of this statement; 2. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is a true Buddha who has been recognized as such by leaders, regent dharma kings, and rinpoches of various Buddhist sects all over the world in accordance with the more than 1,000-year-old Buddhist recognition system.
- [Announcement No. 20190102: A Tremendously Holy Feat Manifested Yesterday at the Holy Heavenly Lake Where the Buddhist City Will Be Established](https://www.wbahq.org/hq-announcements/a20190102/) - Yesterday, when the bright Sun was shining in the sky, it was suddenly reported that at the river bed above the underground river at the Holy Heavenly Lake, huge waves were seen flowing very fast from south to north. The magnitude of the water flow was inconceivably large. The river’s width was similar to that of the Yangtze River. The color of the river was transparently blue, resembling that of the Danube River. Seeing the rushing billows with the rapid torrents, many people were very astounded and did not know how to react. They were speculating but did not know what kind of situation might occur after all.

However, WBAH has given replies to such questions many times publicly through announcements. Furthermore, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III also clearly explained many times the distinctions between what is upright and what is evil and between what is true and what is false.

Otherwise, you will be ruined for life.
