They requested answers to some pretty stupid and ignorant questions. They say their masters are well-known disciples of Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Therefore, in their minds, their masters have become great holy beings. But these masters\u2019 teachings do not follow the Dharma of Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, nor do they follow the sutras. These masters\u2019 words and deeds, when observed in real life, are those of ordinary people. There have been so many things that perplexed them and gave them doubts. They are afflicted and cannot judge whether their masters are good or bad, right or wrong. What should they do?<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span class=\"dropcap \u201csimple\u201d\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>This issue was already resolved a long time ago. You have often been reminded in public announcements where the explanations were apparent. You have been shown the methods and standards to examine and judge what is correct or evil and what is good or bad. We ask you this now. Is your master a great Bodhisattva? Has your master passed the Gold Button Level 3 grade in the holy test to be a Shangzun? Your master doesn\u2019t qualify to give teachings! You people don\u2019t read the public announcements and insist on getting cheated. This headquarters feels very sorry and angry at people who don\u2019t accept the advice! We have no choice but to say some things that may not sound so sweet but are very practical today, and that is if you do not judge what is right or wrong according to the public announcements, then you deserve to be cheated because that is the retribution you will get for not reading the public announcements, not verifying what is right or wrong using the public announcements, and not listening to the teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III! His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III treats all living beings as family. Without exception, no one is a crony. Only those who have passed the high levels in the test are the ones the Buddha will groom first because the Buddha wants people who genuinely learn from Buddha and cultivate themselves. The higher their accomplishment, the more they can help shoulder the undertakings of Tathagata and benefit people and all living beings with a tremendous, compassionate mind.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span class=\"dropcap \u201csimple\u201d\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>The difference between real holy beings and imposters or between great accomplishment and little accomplishment must be examined factually in the levels and the buttons on the robes they wear! It is because they are the actual status results that the masters obtained from the test with all their might. No one wants to be lower than others regarding the test!<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span class=\"dropcap \u201csimple\u201d\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Thus, we remind you once again. If, as usual, you still do not read the public announcements and use them to examine your master, if you do not check the levels and the buttons on their dharma attire, if you do not grasp the meaning of the treasure book\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Learning from Buddha<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, or you do not examine your master against the 128 evil and erroneous views, then you deserve the retribution to continue being cheated! In that case, this headquarters cannot help you. Nor can we save you.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\">United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters<br \/>November 22, 2016<\/p><p><em>(Eric Huang translated this announcement into English.
