\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 World Buddhism Association Headquarters received an inquiry. It says: \u201cIn the article titled <\/span>Let\u2019s\u00a0question Chen Baosheng<\/span><\/em>\u00a0by Jianping, it mentioned that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III\u2019s Dharma protectors are Ekajati Vajra, Rahula the Dharma Protector, and Mahakala the Chief Dharma Protector.\u201d We specially beseeched the answer from Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III clarified: \u201c<\/strong><\/span>This Buddhist may not be aware.\u00a0Dharma Protector\u00a0Mahakala,\u00a0Dharma Protector\u00a0Rahula, and\u00a0Dharma Protector\u00a0Ekajati are Tibetan Buddhism\u2019s three most potent Dharma protectors. However, I am not affiliated with Tibetan Buddhism or any specific sect. My allegiance lies with Buddhism, the Buddhism of Shakyamuni Buddha, and the Buddhas in the ten directions.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 My Dharma protector is not to fall into the 128 evil and erroneous views. The practice I keep is the two main mind essences<\/em>\u00a0of the\u00a0Supreme and Unsurpassed Mahamudra of Liberation<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0What is Cultivation.<\/em>\u00a0My truth is\u00a0Expounding the Absolute Truth Through the Heart Sutra.\u00a0<\/em>My vows are not to receive any offerings throughout my life and to expound the authentic Dharma of Tathagata that is common to all Buddhas in the ten directions for living beings\u2019 happiness and liberation voluntarily.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I will not hurt any living being, including Chen Baosheng and Chen Rao Zhenzhen. I made a vow yesterday, which I did not want to do. It was Jiangjia Rinpoche who wished to make the vow. I tried to stop him, but he wouldn\u2019t listen. He had already set out to make the vow before, and I felt I had no other choice but to make this vow to guarantee the Buddhas in the ten directions and causality so that Jiangjia Rinpoche would not have any fear.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The words I am saying are the same as always. My most immense happiness is the happiness, liberation, and achievement of all living beings, including those who attack, slander, and destroy me.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 However, a Buddhist cannot slander the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the ten directions or Shakyamuni Buddha\u2019s sutras. A Buddhist absolutely cannot practice evil ways to mislead or hurt people.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Regarding the test on the guru\u2019s qualifications, I have always only agreed with the Written Test on Tripitaka, i.e., the Sutra, Vinaya, and Abhidharma. I have always opposed the so-called holy exam, so I have never administered any holy exam at all.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>
