\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Some <\/span>people asked: Would the guru 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 attire truly ascertain someone\u2019s level for 100%? This kind of inquiry is due to the lack of understanding of the test rules and the live situation at the test site. You should know that the Buddha Dharma that the headquarters\u2019 holy and virtuous gurus have is different from those who have yet to receive authentic transmissions and could only speak empty theories and unrealizable dharma. It is the Buddha Dharma transmitted from Shakyamuni Buddha and can manifest itself in a holy state in which its form is accurate and tangible.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>When going into the Array, everyone taking the test must chant authentic Buddhist sutras such as\u00a0<\/span>the Diamond Sutra, the<\/span>\u00a0Shurangama Mantra, the Great Compassion Dharani, the<\/span>\u00a0Mahakala Mantra,<\/span><\/em>\u00a0and so on. True Dharmas in Buddhism involves thoroughly applying the three karmas\u2014mind, body, and words. Take the\u00a0<\/span>Diamond Sutra,\u00a0<\/span><\/em>for example; besides chanting the sutra text by mouth, visualizing the meaning in mind, a hand mudra such as the\u00a0<\/span>Mudra of Buddha Expounding Dharma\u00a0<\/span><\/em>or the<\/span>\u00a0Mudra of Ven. Subhuti\u00a0<\/span><\/em>must also be used as a compliment. Otherwise, the divine prowess of the\u00a0<\/span>Diamond Sutra<\/span><\/em>\u00a0is not perfect, and no actual, tangible form of holy state can be revealed.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>The seven holy beings and the ten gurus (who proctor the test) must also chant with the person taking the test and apply the mudra. The Holy Test has no loophole, especially when there are the seven holy beings and the ten gurus present, who have all made solemn vows to guarantee the level obtained as a result of the Holy Test by every test candidate is correct. Should there be any falsehood, even if just one or two people are falsifying the outcome, would it be possible that all seventeen onsite proctors who are holy beings or great virtuous gurus falsify the result? Would they all dare to make solemn vows and write down their vows and endorsements of the outcome on the certification of the level obtained by the person taking the test? Not to mention that onsite the holy test, besides the seventeen witnesses, many other people are also taking the test. The test site rules say the first person must have finished their examination before the second person can take the test. All those who have not yet received the test and those who have completed the test stay and watch on the side. Every person taking the test can see in person and onsite what everyone else\u2019s actual condition is in the test and their level. Think about it. Who would want to get a low level from the test? Everyone wants to get a high level.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>The test candidates are in the same holy test array, and the Safety and Auspice Region (\u5e73\u5b89\u5409\u754c) is right in front of them. The green Auspice Region is extensive, but only if you can enter it will you pass the test level. If you cannot get in, you will fail the level. When the test candidates practiced it before the formal holy test, everyone could walk in and out of it at will. However, once the announcement was made that the test was formally starting, some candidates couldn\u2019t go in any longer. There was not a single trap or preventative mechanism in the entire Array. Still, if you do not have that one extra bit of true Buddha Dharma capability, it is impossible to go into the Auspice Region for just one single time!<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Besides, the level every test candidate got from the holy test is 100% identical to the divination they had drawn in private by themselves. Therefore, the candidates who have taken the test are all convinced entirely of the levels they obtained. Some could only see others getting Level 3 but could not get even Level 1 themselves under the watch of everyone. It is imaginable how hard they must have felt.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>But if one\u2019s dharma capability is short, one can never enter that flat, prominent green-colored Auspice Region in the center. Even though you are moving your feet to go to the green zone in the front, the more you walk forward, the more the feet move backward naturally until you finally fall on the ground. Once a candidate could not enter the Auspice Region, they would definitely be pushed into the Samsara Eight-Wind Array (\u8f2a\u8ff4\u516b\u98a8\u9663) and fall on the ground in the large Array. That candidate would lose face in public. They would have to be rescued from the Array, taken by hands and feet, by the four great Dharma guardians. Which master would want to embarrass themselves with such a miserable sight publicly?<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>No matter how a pompous master brags about themselves, they would not get by when they come to the test array. They can only pass it with actual and substantial dharma powers. The buttons to be worn on the robes and the certificates, which this Headquarters issues, are guaranteed by the Holy Test and the seventeen proctoring gurus who have made solemn vows on site of the Holy Test. They are nothing but genuine and authentic! Therefore, Buddhist cultivators and disciples must check the attire bearing the buttons and the master\u2019s certificate, lest mistaking an evil teacher or a cheater for a good guru. We reiterate that even the Great Holy and Virtuous Wangzha Shangzun, who presides over the mandala of the Holy Test, Dharma King Gar Tongstan, or Kaichu Ruzun, cannot influence the candidates\u2019 test results and levels.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Two couplets and a horizontal banner are hung before the holy test array. They can very well describe the situation. The horizontal banner says: \u201cThe result from true Dharma matches what is revealed in the holy divination; the rules are abided by to verify the result where no favor is considered; the Dharma guarding deities for the Holy Test are responsible for their own causality, while the fundamental guru presiding over the mandala is not responsible for the causality.\u201d The long couplet says: \u201cWhat is true cannot be made false, in which case moving Mt. Taishan is as easy as moving a plate;\u201d and \u201cWhat is false cannot be made true, and getting a test result higher than what you are is harder than climbing the sky.\u201d The short couplet says: \u201cYour level revealed is what your level is\u00a0exactly, so do not think your level would be any higher,\u201d and \u201cYour weight shown will be whatever you weigh, so there is no way you can add weight.\u201d The picture of the gate of the Holy Test array is shown below.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>This announcement is now made.<\/span><\/p>

Picture: This Dharma master was getting ready to go into the gate to take the holy test. Suddenly, a strong and powerful whirlwind broke out from inside the array; it made the Dharma master stumble and sucked the Dharma master into the array.<\/p>
