Headquarters' Public Announcements

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 impart the true Dharma of Tathagata that is common to all Buddhas in the ten directions for living beings’ happiness and liberation voluntarily.

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…

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.

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.
