Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III!<\/p>

Namo Shakyamuni Buddha!<\/p>

Namo Yuhua Shouzhi Wang Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva!<\/p>

Namo all Buddhas in the ten directions, Vajra Beings, Bodhisattvas, Sky-goers, and Dharma Protectors!<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Buddhist disciples from all over the world have once again gathered here. We give thanks and pay respects to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. We learn the \u201cNamo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection,\u201d which is the Dharma treasure that Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III bestowed upon humanity. We commemorate the Holy Birthday of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III annually.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 During this Dharma ending age, in which true Dharma diminishes, and evil forces prevail, it has been our tremendous good fortune to encounter the magnificent Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, and learn the true Buddha Dharma that enable us to attain liberation from cyclical birth and death. Whatever questions arise in the course of learning from Buddha and practicing cultivation, we can find all the answers elucidated in the Dharmas expounded by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. These Dharmas are available in audio recordings and in published books. As a living being with utmost humility, I will share some of my experiences for everyone\u2019s reference.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 First: As Buddhist disciples, our goal is not to seek worldly fame or fortune. Our fundamental goal is to attain liberation! At any time and place, we must remember this goal and resolutely not deviate from it.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The Buddha taught us repeatedly that in order to attain liberation, we must start by cultivating our conduct. Practicing cultivation includes strictly abiding by the precepts and maintaining correct knowledge and views. Precepts are stipulated by the Buddhas. Correct knowledge and views can only come from the Buddhas: In the present era, you can only find them in the audio recordings of the Dharmas expounded by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. These Dharmas have been and will continue to be published in the \u201cNamo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 To attain liberation, we must also practice Dharma. Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III transmitted many Dharmas to us. These Dharma treasures are rafts that enable us to attain liberation. We must practice Dharma persistently and effortfully.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Second: As Buddhist disciples, our goal is to become arhats, Bodhisattvas, and eventually attain Buddhahood. Therefore, now that we are in our cultivation stage, we must be \u201csincere and truthful to Buddha, pious to Buddha Dharma, compassionate to living beings, and honest with ourselves.\u201d It is by being sincere and truthful to Buddha that we can receive teachings. It is by being pious to Buddha Dharma that we can practice persistently and effortfully. It is by being compassionate to living beings that we can help them rather than hurt them. It is by being honest with ourselves that we can truly practice cultivation and accumulate merit.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Third: As Buddhist disciples, we must clearly understand and believe in causality. The Buddha\u2019s descent into this world, and the Buddha\u2019s entering Parinirvana were due to the shared karma and causality of all living beings. The arrival of the Dharma ending age was due to the shared karma and causality of all living beings. Yet our own causality is enabling us to learn from Buddha and practice cultivation to attain accomplishment and liberation!<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 As long as we respectfully listen to audio recordings of the Dharmas expounded by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III; sincerely study the \u201cNamo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection\u201d; reflect upon our own conduct at all times; repent of our own sins; strictly abide by the precepts; matter-of-factly practice cultivation; diligently practice Dharma; propagate the Sutras of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III; uphold and protect the teachings of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Namo Shakyamuni Buddha; do all kinds of good deeds; and not do any bad deeds, then we will definitely attain liberation!<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Not only are we going to attain liberation, but we must also propagate the magnificent true Buddha Dharma, so that more people may encounter and learn the Dharma expounded by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, and from which they can achieve perfect good fortune and wisdom, and attain liberation from cyclical birth and death!<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Wishing that all congregants here today and all living beings fulfill their beneficent wishes, have good fortune and wisdom, and attain great liberation and accomplishment! Wishing that all countries be strong and prosperous, and all living beings safe and happy! May peace be on earth and may auspiciousness be with all living beings!<\/p>

Once again, let us pay obeisance!<\/p>

Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III!<\/p>

Namo Shakyamuni Buddha!<\/p>

Namo Yuhua Shouzhi Wang Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva! Namo all Buddhas in the ten directions, Vajra Beings, Bodhisattvas, Sky-goers, and Dharma Protectors!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
