Therefore, it explains why the ranking orders of the Eighteen Dharmas need to be clarified to the inquirer.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Any Buddhist disciple must remember that the goal of learning from Buddha is to obtain good fortune and wisdom, escape the sufferings of Samsara and become a holy being. Among the eighty-four thousand Dharma gates, the Eighteen Dharmas declared by the Headquarters are great Dharmas that manifest the divine state through tangible phenomena. Since each Dharma serves a different purpose and application, the ranking orders will vary accordingly. Among all eighty-four thousand Dharma-gates, based on the goal that learning from Buddha is to attain eternal accomplishment and liberation, the number one most supreme Dharma is the \u201cBuddha Bestowing Holy Amritas Initiation,\u201d a.k.a. \u201cAnuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi Sampajabba Dharma.\u201d (\u7121\u4e0a\u6b63\u7b49\u4e09\u85d0\u4e09\u83e9\u63d0\u65e5\u4e2d\u660e\u89ba\u6cd5) It is the top, unparalleled, perfect, and holiest King of Dharma among all eighty-four thousand Dharma gates. The next is the Right-Side Chancellor Dharma,\u00a0 the \u201cBodhi Path Sin Decrease and Merit Increase Dharma,\u201d a.k.a. the \u201cSupreme Bodhi Enlightenment Dharma.\u201d (\u5927\u83e9\u63d0\u89ba\u9802\u6cd5) And what follows it is the Left-Side Chancellor Dharma,\u00a0 the \u201cSending a Petition to Bodhisattva,\u201d a.k.a. the \u201cSupreme Holy Guaranteed Direct Delivery Dharma.\u201d (\u4e0a\u4e0a\u8056\u76f4\u7cfb\u4fdd\u9001\u6cd5) Together, the above three Dharmas are termed the \u201cMost Supreme, Unparalleled, and Perfect King-and-Chancellors Dharmas of Dharmadhatu.\u201d They are the ultimate Dharmas that guarantee great accomplishment to transform from mundane to holy in this lifetime. These three Dharmas, which Tathagatas and Bodhisattvas control, manifest the holy states through real, physical phenomena. They are not unsubstantiated theorems. Only a Buddha, an Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattva, or a Marvelous Enlightenment Bodhisattva can preside over these supreme Holy Initiation Dharmas.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-5a3ffae0 );\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>At the \u201cBuddha Bestowing Holy Amritas Initiation\u201d event, right after the initiated individuals swallow the genuine amritas and receive the initiation\u2019s mnemonic commands, then and there, their bones will be cracking, and joints will be popping, and the internal eighty-four thousand nadis and chakras will be activated. Within two hours, the initiated individuals will be able to realize the dharmakaya and ultimately achieve great holy manifestation power and accomplishment.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The disciple who receives initiation of the Right-Side Chancellor Dharma, the \u201cBodhi Path Sin Decrease and Merit Increase Dharma,\u201d will receive affirmation from the Buddha or Bodhisattva personally of this individual\u2019s accomplishment in this lifetime, the transformation from mundane to holy and achievement of perfect, divine manifestation power. The Buddha or Bodhisattva will bestow the initiated disciple Bodhi pills from the void (not gifted by the presiding master of the initiation). From then on, the disciple will take one Bodhi pill every month. Because the Bodhi pills are conjured from the void and encompass tremendous holy power, they are vital for many Holy Dharma Initiations. Without them, the Dharma initiation will be futile. For example, at the \u201cUntimely Death Resurrection Dharma\u201d event (\u975e\u6642\u4e4b\u6b7b\u56de\u751f\u6cd5), a Bodhi pill is placed in the mouth of the dead, and the dead will be resurrected immediately. In addition, the Dharmas of \u201cEnlightenment-Practice Initiation\u201d (\u89ba\u884c\u704c\u9802), \u201cYidam Dharma Affinity Initiation\u201d (\u672c\u5c0a\u6cd5\u7de3\u704c\u9802), \u201cGreat Perfection with Direct Verification\u201d (\u73fe\u91cf\u5927\u5713\u6eff), \u201cSound-of-Silence Zen\u201d (\u672a\u97f3\u79aa), \u201cOne-Taste Zen\u201d (\u4e00\u5473\u79aa), \u201cHoly Fire Homa,\u201d \u201cVajra Array,\u201d \u201cGrand Eight Winds Array,\u201d \u201cHanging Bowl to Ask the Truth,\u201d and \u201cHayagriva or Horse-Head Wisdom King Water Altar Bead Hexagram\u201d can only use Bodhi pills for offerings to be effective.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 When a disciple receives the Left-Side Chancellor Dharma, the \u201cSending a Petition to Bodhisattva\u201d initiation, regardless of the Dharma the individual practices, the Buddha, an Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattva, or a Marvelous Enlightenment Bodhisattva will personally affirm the disciple\u2019s transformation from mundane to holy in this life. At the initiation event, from the void, the Buddha or Bodhisattva Yidam will retrieve the petition submitted by the disciple on the spot and promise to deliver this disciple to the Buddha Land. It is an infallible great Dharma that guarantees the delivery of the initiated from mundane to holy.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Let us use sailing on the ocean as a not-so-incisive analogy. Mindfulness of the Buddha practiced by the Pure Land Buddhism Dharma-gate is like riding on a wood raft on the sea. The raft is slow but smooth until it encounters an angry and vicious storm. The Phowa practice is like putting on a lifebuoy. However, the sailor is still doomed and unable to escape in the face of a violent storm. Practicing Zen Buddhism Dharma-gate is like a novice skipper attempting to steer a battleship. By chance, the skipper may speedily and successfully reach the shore, but he may also run in a circle and go nowhere. Or he may navigate the ship by trial-and-error brute force. There is no guaranteed protection at all. Ordinary people practicing Zen meditation are amateurish, to begin with. How could it easily lead an amateurish practitioner to realize the dharmakaya? Practicing other Buddhist sects such as Vajrayana, Consciousness Only School, or Huayan School can also be analogized to riding on different-sized speedboats on the ocean. They do not guarantee safety and can be dangerous.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-5a3ffae0 );\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The unique Dharmas that guarantee accomplishment in the practice are the \u201cBuddha Bestowing Holy Amritas Initiation,\u201d \u201cBodhi Path Sin Decrease and Merit Increase Dharma,\u201d and \u201cSending a Petition to Bodhisattva.\u201d These \u201cMost Supreme, Unparalleled, and Perfect King-and-Chancellors Dharmas of Dharmadhatu\u201d can be compared to the fully equipped naval aircraft carrier, the mother of all invincible battleships. However, only the great Tremendous Holy Gurus will be able to receive genuine and direct initiation from the Buddha to bestow the holy amritas. Other people, at best, may be able to receive amritas shower initiation or take amritas pills. It is all determined by the candidate\u2019s ability to pass the holy adjudication for the initiation. It is determined by the candidate\u2019s thoughts and behaviors and the merits this individual has accumulated from all the Buddhist undertakings. The same condition applies to the Right-Side Chancellor Dharma, the \u201cBodhi Path Sin Decrease and Merit Increase Dharma.\u201d Suppose a disciple is not genuinely sincere and has not earnestly devoted to Buddhist undertakings to gain great merits. In that case, the disciple will not pass the holy adjudication to receive the Dharma initiation. The Left-Side Chancellor Dharma, the \u201cSending a Petition to Bodhisattva,\u201d has the same criteria as the Right-Side Chancellor Dharma.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The ranking orders by holiness level and Dharma power are \u201cHoly Fire Homa,\u201d \u201cKnowing in Advance and Foretelling,\u201d \u201cUncovering Terma with Direct Verification,\u201d \u201cEstablishing Mandala Through a Boulder,\u201d \u201cBodhi Holy Water,\u201d \u201cMoving Vajra Pill like Dancing on Ice,\u201d and \u201cLifting Pestle onto Platform With One Hand.\u201d In terms of the most power of the holy state, they are the \u201cVajra Array\u201d and \u201cGrand Eight Winds Array.\u201d Concerning adjudication, the ranking orders are \u201cVajra Pillar Adjudication,\u201d \u201cHanging Bowl to Ask the Truth,\u201d \u201cVajra Faman Holy Adjudication,\u201d \u201cHayagriva Or Horse-Head Wisdom King Water Altar Bead Hexagram,\u201d \u201cDharma Gate Peacock Feathers Adjudication,\u201d and \u201cDouble Adjudications.\u201d Each Dharma serves a different purpose and application. Since the fundamental goal of learning from Buddha is not merely attaining a marvelous celestial state and realization power but to end the cycle of birth and death forever, the three Supreme King-and-Chancellors Dharmas are incomparably above and beyond all the eighty-four thousand Buddhist Dharma-gates. They are of different levels of marvelous and enlightened states.
