\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 On <\/span>December 28, 2018, Keqian Wangzha Gongbo Shangzun went to the Holy Miracles Temple to receive a Dharma transmission by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. During this magnificent time, monastics at the Holy Miracles Temple reported to the World Buddhism Association Headquarters:<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201cWe reported to Wangzha Shangzun that a holy feat was manifest in the dharma visages of Yinhai Shengzun. We said: \u2018There are two dharma visages of Yinhai Shengzun that have been placed here for worship all along. What is strange is that if we stand at an equal distance away from these two Shengzun\u2019s dharma visages, in just one glance, the dharma visage placed for worship before Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva\u2019s statue appears much larger than the other one placed on the sidewall! One of the two dharma visages, which are identical in size and dimensions, becomes larger than the other. But when we measure them with a measuring tape, their dimensions are indeed identical without any difference.’\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201c\u2018During the last several days, many people came to our temple to pay homage and respectfully view the dharma visages. They wrote on the guest book. Their words respectfully praise this holy scene, which is open to the public viewing. They knew well that they had met the true and great Dharma of Tathagata and could not control their joy.\u2019<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201c<\/span>The Shangzun said, \u2018It is absolutely a great holy feat that two photos of the same dimensions turn into different sizes, one bigger than the other when viewed from the same distance. Actually, you can double the distance from the current viewing point where the holy scene is manifest to about 22 feet. Then you can see the dharma visage placed where Shengzun\u2019s dharma body was once worshiped is still one-third bigger than the dharma visage placed on the side, even though the latter is 11 feet closer than the former.<\/span>\u2018<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201c<\/span>We immediately went to Avalokiteshvara Hall. We followed Shangzun\u2019s dharma decree and placed one dharma visage at the location where the holy feat (of Yinhai Shengzun\u2019s dharma body undergoing a miraculous transformation after passing) was manifest and the other at a place on the side where no holy scene had happened. We then respectfully conducted the test at the spot 22 feet from the holy scene location and 11 feet from the ordinary location. As we were told, the dharma visage placed where Shengzun\u2019s dharma body was once worshiped appeared noticeably much bigger than the dharma visage placed on the other side. We again measured the dimensions of the two dharma visages with a measuring tape. They are completely identical.<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201c<\/span>We asked the Shangzun why it is so miraculous that no scientist could explain. The Shangzun said: \u2018The Elder Dharma Master Yinhai received a holy inner-tantric initiation from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, a direct transmission from the Yidam. Through practicing the Dharma of Great Compassion Magnificent Ocean Red Avalokitesvara, He had already realized the status of a Tremendously Holy Guru at the level of Shengzun, which is equal to the level of Yuzun and surpasses the levels of Shangzun, Jiaozun, and Ruzun. He is a great holy being who is difficult to encounter in hundreds of years. He is not different from Guru Padmasambhava, Master Marpa, Master Tsongkhapa, the Venerable Atisa, the Sixth Patriarch Master Huineng, Elder Monk Xuyun, and Master Hanshan, surpassing even the patriarchs of earlier generations with His holy feats and awe-inspiring power.\u2019<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201c\u2018<\/span>More than 20 days after the Shengzun\u2019s perfect passing, His revered body returned to a youthful state; His beard grew; His fingers and nails also grew longer. Now again, He manifests such a great holy feat that even scientists cannot explain. Think about it! No patriarch of earlier generations ever achieved any of these. If He had not manifested such great holy feats, how could He show that Anutpattika-dharma-k\u1e63\u0101nti (\u7121\u751f\u6cd5\u5fcd) and the unsurpassed true Dharma of Tathagata are in my beneficent Master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III\u2019s control?<\/span>\u2018\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>The location where the dharma body of Yinhai Shengzun was worshiped at the Holy Miracles Temple is exceptionally mysterious. It is open for the public to admire. Even after the distance is doubled, the majestic power of tremendous holiness manifests itself and is unaffected. The holy feat manifests itself continually, empowering the pious and respectful admirers. Such rare miracles can equate to the \u201cMystery Spot<\/span>\u201c<\/span>\u00a0in San Cruz of Northern California, where two persons of the same height,\u00a0<\/span>when<\/span>\u00a0standing at two spots of the same level separated by eleven feet, would appear unequal in height, with one being much taller than the other. This \u201cMystery Spot<\/span>\u201c<\/span>\u00a0opened to the public and became a holy site because a tremendous holy person had once left a holy feat there.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>We hope all those who come to the Holy Miracles Temple to admire the holy feat will do so piously and respectfully without any disrespectful mind or conduct to avoid creating negative karma. We should pray to Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and Yinhai Shengzun to bestow on us blessings and empowerment, allow us to have joy and happiness, and enable us to obtain true Dharma of the Tathagata so as to have perfect fortune and wisdom and to realize enlightenment very soon.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Therefore, the Headquarters specifically issued this announcement. All who are pious can go to the Holy Miracles Temple to respectfully admire this holy feat, pray for empowerment, and wish for all the auspiciousness and everlasting happiness!<\/span><\/p>
