Reply to Inquiries #20200103 (2020/07/09)
The following is the reply to an inquiry letter:
- In this time and age, only the Buddhist books authored by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and legally authorized for publication, and the audio recordings of the Dharma Discourses imparted by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III that are directly distributed by the International Buddhist Sangha Association, can be regarded as the true meaning of Buddha Dharma. Otherwise, anything not yet determined via a Holy Determination process or definitively affirmed by the Yidam is uncertain. You do not know if it is correct or evil or if it is a mix of the correct and evil teachings that fulfilled the Demon King Mara’s wish and was carried out by his progeny. This Headquarters does not dare to assert the correctness of such things.
- Only a Buddha, or a Tremendously Holy Guru, who is an Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattva or a Marvelous Enlightenment Bodhisattva, can approve the meaning of a Buddha Dharma. Additionally, a Buddha Dharma can be affirmed by the practice of the Holy Drawing Lots From Golden Urn, the Famen Gongyu, or the Five Supreme Holy Dharmas in the Direct Buddha’s Lineage. Otherwise, anyone who says that they can approve the meaning of the Dharma is a Demon King’s descendant or at least a devil and a liar!
- Buddha’s Dharma Voice and the Headquarters’ public announcements have clearly and solemnly reminded Buddhist disciples repeatedly that no holy guru below Gold Button Level 3 is qualified to give teachings. If one who is not at least a Gold Button Level 3 gives lessons, that person is deceiving people with evil words without a doubt. Therefore, other than the Buddhas, Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattvas, or Marvelous Enlightenment Bodhisattvas, anyone who claims to judge Dharma’s meaning is undoubtedly a devil and a liar.
