We publish this special announcement now. We hope all Buddhist cultivators to quickly send to the Headquarters those learning manuals and the text for reading and chanting, which your masters have transmitted to you. We will examine them to make sure they are true and authentic Buddhism and to prevent you from being harmed. It has been thoroughly proven now, through the holy test, that 98% of the people are still lingering outside the gates of Buddha Dharma, Buddhist Teachings, and the study of Buddhism. It’s unbelievable that those who have not yet reached the Dharma gate dare to boldly change the transmitted dharma manuals against all rules. They have truly committed grave black karma!
If your master does not let you submit the material that they have taught you to be examined by the Headquarters, or if you are worried because you do not dare to violate a vow in which you have sworn to be loyal to them, then you should very soberly think about an issue of principle. If your master is the Mara King, an evil spirit, a mountain ghost (山精), a river monster (水怪), or a monstrous ghost of blood light* (血光厲鬼), and you insist in being loyal to them because of a vow you have made, then what you will eventually get is the karmic retribution of the three lower realms for sure. Therefore, you must not keep the vows you have made to the evil. Instead, you must repent at once. You must correct your wrong and follow the good.”
Whether your master is good or evil must be observed based on the levels they got from the holy test and the 128 understanding and views which the Buddha imparted. Then, you can know what kind of person they are. Or you can submit the dharma manuals you are learning to be determined by the holy test. You can see on the spot whether they are good or evil. Only doing so can Buddhist disciples be safe and be able to walk on the correct path. Otherwise, they will be forever miserable.
A few masters have submitted the evil and erroneous materials they had written before they saw the public announcement so far. That is worth praising because it says they know they had erred, and they can proactively repent themselves. If one can correct oneself, then one is good and can be forgiven. We wish to inform all the masters who read this public announcement if you have not realized Gold Button Level 3 as a great holy being. If you have wrongfully changed Sutra, Vinaya, and Sastra, or if you have taken fragmented parts from Tripitaka and edited manuals for learning and practicing that have no lineage of transmission, you must sincerely repent yourself at once. You must inform those whom you have taught to stop learning and practicing your wrongfully changed manual, and send the information to Headquarters immediately. After Wangzha Shangzun makes the corrections to your original erroneous and sinful material, The corrected manual will be given to you to disseminate to your people for them to learn again. (There are, of course, unified lineage rituals, but they require to be transmitted after an Initiation is given.)
Shangzun said: “My benevolent master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, taught us: ‘There are two types of people in this world. One has self-awareness, the other likes to outsmart themselves. The former abides by the principle of doing all good deeds and abstaining from all bad deeds. They know what they should do and shouldn’t do so that they don’t violate the law of causality. The latter is selfish and self-centered. They plan to do things of bad karma, and they deceive people with lies. They think they could avoid being found out, be in the end their foxtail cannot be concealed because what is fake is fake. The ancient proverb says, if you don’t want others to know, you’d better not do it.”
“To those masters who violate precepts and deceive people, you must know that the bad things you have done cannot be concealed. Even if you keep some people from submitting the materials, there are still others who will turn in the learning and practicing manual, which you give them, to seek validation. At that time, your outcome will be miserable because it is the law of cause and effect. If it comes down to that, I will publish the original text of your evil arguments to the public.”
“To those masters who come up with careless and wrong materials, are you willing to proactively submit your material to be checked, or are you willing to continue hurting and deceiving people until the day you are uncovered in public? If it comes down to that, then H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III cannot save you, and Namo Shakyamuni Buddha cannot save you either. I, Wangzha, who is a humbled monk, will not save you at all, because I must protect true Buddha Dharma, clear out evil arguments, benefit Buddhist cultivators and the public, and educate evil masters and liars.”
“You must also note that if you submit the material proactively, I will correct it for you. Afterward, I will not name your name to criticize you. But if you repeat it in the future, if you step back on the evil path again, if you come up with a careless and wrong argument or material to deceive people, there will be no change of forgiveness anymore.”
