Dorje Chang Buddha III have received many letters and phone calls from practitioners and readers. They reported many types of benefits and improvements that they acquired after reading the Treasure Book of True Buddha-Dharma. Examples include: Curing of chronic diseases and sufferings or disappearing of the symptoms of cancer in just a few days; Resolution of long-term disputes; Peace and harmony within family; Filial obedience of kids and improvement in their study scores and grades; Realization of higher state, acquiring supernormal abilities or other notable benefits from practice; Arrival of new baby to elderly parent(s); Younger appearance; Unexpected promotion at work place; and so on. From reading their letters and observing their expression of joy, we feel happy for them. Our office likes to congratulate them on the progress they made from following the teaching of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. At the same time, we must remind the practitioners who wrote the letter that what you obtained now is not the goal of cultivation. The purpose of our first step is to cut off the attachment (adherence) to ourselves, benefit living beings from the foundation of great compassion, and let the world be full of joy and prosperity. Only then can we establish the state of bodhihood and step toward happiness without suffering, liberation and eternal happiness.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"entry-content\"><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Your rewards are certainly worthy of celebration.\u00a0On the other hand, we are also deeply concerned that your mind is set on the auspicious phenomena without knowing the true essence of Buddha-dharma. More importantly, while you are praising the treasure book\u00a0<em>H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III<\/em>, at the same time, you may have committed the act of unconsciously slandering and insulting H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and Sakyamuni Buddha.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Please all think carefully. Isn\u2019t it true that you have been reading treasure books of true Buddha-dharma and listening to the treasure dharma lessons for years? If you have read the books of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III such as\u00a0<em>Commentaries on the\u00a0<\/em><em>Heart of Prajna Paramita<\/em>\u00a0<em>Sutra\u00a0<\/em>and<em>Corrections to the Treatises of Patriarch Master Bodhidharma<\/em>\u00a0and if you have read the twelve classic sutras from the\u00a0<em>Tripitaka<\/em>\u00a0such as the\u00a0<em>Diamond Sutra<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0<em>Avatamsaka Sutra<\/em>, aren\u2019t these all treasure books of true Buddha-dharma? Every book of Buddha is a treasure book of true Buddha-dharma. How can you think that you started to read the Treasure Book of True Buddha-dharma after the publication of the book\u00a0<em>H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III<\/em>?\u00a0\u00a0If you just say the Treasure Book of True Buddha Dharma without specifically mentioning which book, isn\u2019t this an insult to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and Sakyamuni Buddha? Aren\u2019t the dharma lessons discoursed by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III all these years treasure books of true Buddha-dharma? How can you regard the book <em>H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III<\/em>\u00a0as the only treasure book of true Buddha-dharma?\u00a0Please be aware. Such saying or view is really an act of insulting the Buddha, caused by one\u2019s negative karma of ignorance. Every dharma, every book has its own unique name. If you generally state \u201cI learn the treasure book of true Buddha-dharma,\u201d nobody can understand which book you are referring to.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In summary, we hope that everyone cultivates, through one\u2019s deeds, according to the dharma of \u201cWhat Is Cultivation?\u201d taught by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and understands and realizes, from the very purpose, the discourse of \u201cSutra on Understanding and Realizing the Definite Truth\u201d by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Please note. The book\u00a0<em>H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III<\/em>\u00a0is true Buddha-dharma but the book\u2019s name is not the Treasure Book of True Buddha Dharma.\u00a0The name is\u00a0<em>H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III<\/em>.\u00a0The book is called a treasure book of true Buddha-dharma because it is a true treasure book.\u00a0Believers with good intention, please stop being ridiculous and adding to your negative karma of ignorance.<\/p><p align=\"right\"><em>The Office of H.
