\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 There are two evil behaviors\/incidents that all Buddhists must not emulate. Otherwise, you will be ruined for life. These unethical behaviors inherently deviate from the dharma teaching of the primary mind essences of the\u00a0Supreme and Unsurpassed Mahamudra of Liberation<\/em>\u00a0imparted by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The first issue: An article was published on the Weixin public account Leng Yan Channel titled \u201cIf Abstaining from Killing, How to Manage Pest Control such as Mosquitoes and Flies.\u201d The article suggests that homeowners can beseech Buddha and Bodhisattva to eliminate pests. Wait for three days, and if the pests are still there, homeowners can take any measure to stop them. Therefore, homeowners can use, for example, insecticides to kill bugs. This horrendous suggestion violates the most rudimentary Buddhist code of ethics established by Shakyamuni Buddha \u2013 Buddhists should be rooted in compassion and treat all sentient beings as equals. A blatant massacre of living beings is a deadly sin destined for the Avici Hell. Suppose you notify Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, \u201cMove out, or I will kill you in three days.\u201d How would you feel? Does it sound right to you? Are you still a Buddhist? There isn\u2019t a trace of bodhicitta in this kind of people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Concurrently, that all beings are equal means just that despite their sizes. If you have any pernicious desire to kill other living beings, you are not a Buddhist but a demonic person. With your evil nature, what qualifies you to beseech Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to remove the pests? Have you accumulated enough merits for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to grant you any wish? Therefore, it is an evil and malicious article!!! All Buddhists must not follow its suggestions to avoid the three lower realms of samsara. It is essential to read the\u00a0Definitive Tenets Imparted by Buddha<\/em>\u00a0for details. Otherwise, any diligent effort to practice Buddhas\u2019 divine dharmas will be futile. Perhaps a murderer like you, who has rotten roots of wisdom, doesn\u2019t even deserve the Definitive Tenets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The second issue: Many people continue reciting the\u00a0Shurangama Mantra<\/em>\u00a0even after learning the indeterminate nature of its authenticity with various versions. Continuous reciting is extremely heretic. These people falsely justify that by saying since there is no adjudication on\u00a0Shurangama Mantra<\/em>, there must not be a problem. Let us use medicinal drugs as an analogy. Suppose a preliminary report by medical experts shows that only one is safe among ten drugs, but they are yet to identify which one. In this case, without a doubt, people should immediately stop taking these drugs until the final report is released. Otherwise, people may encounter dangerous drug toxicity, which can bear deadly consequences.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Therefore, before a Buddhist text can be adjudicated as correct or erroneous, if a Buddhist disregards the warning and insists on practicing it, this person, in fact, deliberately violates the regulations stipulated in the Fundamental Holy Precepts<\/em>. Violators will not receive the inner tantric initiation because the dependent origination is ceased for the following reasons. This person is foolish and asinine, commits evildoing and practices both correct and heretical dharmas concurrently. It is a grave mistake to think that it is alright to practice non-adjudicated dharma. By practicing heresy, you sow the seeds of evil and reap the fruit of sinful karma. In essence, practicing heretical dharma leads to developing demonic nature. It is causality. All Buddhists must pay particular attention to any pernicious talks that encourage mixing the learning of\u00a0the Shurangama Mantra<\/em>. Don\u2019t be fooled. Currently, this advice does not concern other Buddhist texts.<\/span><\/p>
