Buddhist Disciple Yuling:

The reasoning and explanation in your article are based on the current situation of Buddhism in today’s world. We think your point of view is correct, but based on the principles and methods you described, it clearly shows that what you learned is the secular Hayagriva Dharma and does not belong to the holy Hayagriva Dharmas. The Water Altar Beads Trigram Dharma is the only beads trigram in the Hayagriva Bright King Dharma ritual. All other rituals, including the Fire Altar, Wind Altar, Earth Altar, and Colored Sand Collection Altar, belong to ordinary Hayagriva Dharmas that are popular worldwide.

But as you mentioned in your inquiry, Changkya Khutukhtu said that the Hayagriva Water Altar Dharma was passed down to the world from the Akanistha Heaven, and a reincarnated great Bodhisattva like Dharma King Changkya had never seen anyone achieve it in Mongolia and Tibet. Therefore, it is understandable and normal if you don’t understand the holy Dharma’s stipulations. This situation also shows that this world has not encountered a great holy Dharma vessel, so the Buddhist community has spread the secular Hayagriva Bead Trigram in a trend.

The four great Hayagriva Dharmas you mentioned prove you have not encountered the Water Altar Hayagriva’s Beads Trigram Dharma. It is the highest Dharma of Hayagriva’s Dharmas, the all-encompassing Dharma of lotus flowers, and the only holy Hayagriva Dharma.

All Buddhist disciples should know that the secular Hayagriva’s Beads Trigram Dharma naturally cannot accurately choose between good and evil. The holy Dharma is very different from the secular Dharma. The secular Dharma is to put six white beads and six black beads, a total of twelve beads, into a clay bottle. This Dharma is called the Earth Altar Dharma. After practicing and performing a mudra, you reach into the bottle without seeing the beads. Pull out one bead for the first time; if it is a white bead, you can reach in again for the second time and take out two beads. If, for the second time, two white beads are drawn, then you can reach inside the bottle for the third time and draw out three beads. If all three are white beads, the determination is definitively correct. That is to say, It is correct if all six beads in three draws are white. If one black bead is mixed in, it is incorrect (details will be explained later).

The holy Hayagriva Bright King Beads Trigram is a Water Altar Dharma. There are only five beads, all wood-colored, made of the bodhi tree and rinsed with white pine gum. Before practicing the Bead Trigram, two people are chosen from among all the people participating in the practice. Then, these two people will freely take out two beads among the five beads. One person will paint the beads red to signify the sambhava of fortune. Another person will paint another bead green to represent the sambhava of wisdom. In the Dharma practice hall, there is a large white-water mandala filled with water. The two people who dyed the beads will put all five beads into the water mandala and cover it with a peacock feather fan. The presiding Tremendously Holy Guru practices the Dharma according to the rules and regulations. In the case to determine if the nature of a recitation text and so on, or even a single sentence from it, is right or wrong, or if a rinpoche is holy or ordinary, the red and green beads that represent fortune and wisdom will meet together if the nature is correct. At this time, the two beads should be moved apart according to the rules. The red and green beads will come together again for the second time, just like the first time. If they are separated again for the third time, they will still come together like before. On the contrary, if the nature of the subject matter is evil or false, then the wood, red, and green colors will gather together randomly. If you immediately separate them according to the rules, they will gather again randomly. In that case, the essence of the matter is evil, false, and incorrect.

Whenever you want to determine a certain subject matter, you must repeat the process two or three consecutive times before making a final determination. As the great virtuous Yuling said, you should not rashly use the conventional Hayagriva Beads Trigram Dharma to determine good or evil because it is difficult to find a great holy being who can practice the Hayagriva Bright King’s Water-Altar Beads Trigram Dharma today. This Dharma is ferocious and supreme, accurate and error-free. One can rarely encounter it in the world. Among the great virtuous people in the world who practice the Hayagriva Dharmas, you cannot find one in almost ten thousand who can successfully practice the holy Water-Altar Beads Trigram Dharma. Anyone sure to succeed must be a real Mahasattva. You often hear that many famous figures in the world were certified as the reincarnation of a certain great Bodhisattva, but because they are not even qualified as an Arhat, they can only practice the secular Hayagriva Bright King’s Beads Trigram divination and spread the conventional Hayagriva Dharmas in Tibetan Tantra.

What the great virtuous Yuling said were all secular Hayagriva Bright King’s Beads Dharmas. The Holy Miracles Temple decided to practice the Hayagriva Bright King’s Water-Altar Beads Trigram Dharma to determine the nature of the morning and evening recitation texts. Although the Holy Miracles Temple is not earth-shattering, it is the temple where the Buddha often visits. The holy miracle incidents at this temple are obvious to all and rare to find in the world. For example, it witnessed Buddhas Bestowing Holy Amrits, saw the Grand Dharma of Holy Fire Offering practice, held an Uncovering of Terma with Instant Verification, and so on. When the Buddha lifted the pestle 59 levels higher than His baseline onto the platform at the temple, showing the essence of a Buddha, the eight legions of deities arrived with a strong roaring wind and shocking powers. The temple also experienced hundreds of thousands of Kalaviṅka birds making pilgrimages to the temple simultaneously. The temple also held a ritual to convert humans and non-humans, including deity princes, dragon gods, etc., to Buddhism, and the earth immediately shook. Therefore, the holy incidents at the Holy Miracles Temple are unprecedented worldwide.

We believe that a great Mahasattva will definitely come forward to practice the Water Altar Dharma. We are confident that we can achieve the success of Hayagriva’s Water Altar Dharma and determine the nature of the morning and evening recitation texts. However, we must do it in compliance with the government’s laws for the public’s health and safety and the implementation of the pandemic prevention laws. We will not violate the pandemic prevention laws at all. If you have the karmic affinity, you can come to attend the holy Dharma assembly. You will see the mighty virtues of the Holy Being, which cannot be seen with ordinary eyes. It is so precise that it is beyond ordinary thinking. For example, for the same five beads floating on the water altar, whether you recite “Namo Shakyamuni Buddha is the Buddha who became a Buddha in the Saha world,” or you recite “Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III is the only Buddha Who came to the world from the Dharma Realm,” or “All Buddhas in the world can see it all,” the red and green beads will come together. On the other hand, if you recite “Namo Devadatta is a Buddha” or “I see everything in the world,” the red and green beads will not come together.

Therefore, we can only say that the Water Altar Beads Trigram of Hayagriva Bright King has the highest holy meaning and is extremely accurate!
