\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 We have now read A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma<\/em>, which is like obtaining the most precious treasure. We have a correct albeit limited understanding of disciples of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. However, we were unable to include many holy occurrences and great figures in this one book. For example, everyone still does not know which few people of holy virtue are the representatives of those who possess dharma transmitted in this world by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. We only understand that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata has directly descended into this world and manifested the true Buddha-dharma, has set up a correct and bright dharma banner in this Dharma Ending Age of chaotic Buddha-dharma, and has guided living beings onto a shortcut to liberation.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 However, we still do not understand that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III did not descend into this world alone. Rather, many beings of great holiness and virtue followed His Holiness into this world. Among such beings are many great Mahasattvas who are not mentioned in the main body of this book. Such great Mahasattvas include virtuous people over one hundred years old as well as young people. We mention them here at the end of this book to show that there are limitless aspects to the absolute truth of Buddhism, to holy beings, and to holy feats that are not contained in this book.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Here we will only briefly mention a few holy people who truly are dharma kings of tremendous virtue. There is a dharma king on the level of H.H. There is a holder of holy-form inner-tantric initiation dharma. There is also elder Dharma King Mohe, who is an over one-hundred-year-old incarnation of Anathapindika, a follower of Sakyamuni Buddha. Only topmost Vajrayana dharma kings of great holiness who are incarnations of Buddhas or Mahasattvas possess the holy realization that those holy people manifest.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Take, for example, the person of great holiness who is the incarnation of Anathapindika. He has performed countless holy feats. His powers in the healing vidya alone have elicited the unending praise of many people. He is able to cure diseases such as cancer, AIDS, and demonic possession with great facility. Through the casual combination of a few different medicines, he can completely uproot those diseases. His Buddha-dharma realization powers are unfathomably deep.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 There was once a person who had a malignant tumor on his back and did not want to undergo surgery. The person of great holiness told him to sit motionlessly on the other side of a wall and that surgery would not be necessary. After this elderly person of great holiness lightly snapped his fingers, a loud exploding sound could be heard. It turned out that the malignant tumor of the person sitting on the other side of the wall suddenly exploded and its contents flowed onto the ground. That person was completely healed within one month. Additionally, this person of great holiness knows what disease any individual has just by being informed of the name of the individual. He is able to cure diseases simply through combining a few different ordinary medicines.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 There was one time over twenty years ago when Dharma King Mohe was traveling outside his hometown. Because he is able to eliminate illnesses with such ease, thousands of patients gathered outside his door, blocking the door. For two days and two nights, this person of holy virtue did not eat or drink as he tended to the sick. His disciples had no choice but to dig a hole through the back wall, thus enabling the elder dharma king to extricate himself from the surrounding throng.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The realization of this person of holy virtue is indeed tremendously high. He was once openly drinking tea in a teahouse when all of a sudden he flew up onto the wall together with the chair on which he was sitting, both sticking to the wall. Another example involves a layperson by the name of Wei who reincarnated as a pig. This person of holy virtue applied his dharma powers to bring back to the earthly realm the consciousness of layperson Wei. He brought back to life layperson Wei, who had died three days earlier. Layperson Wei later explained to everyone the process by which he took birth as a pig, saw this person of holy virtue in the animal realm, and was brought back to human life. There are numerous examples of this kind. Everyone praises this elderly person of great holiness whenever his name is mentioned.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Although elder Dharma King Mohe is 119 years old, he truly has a rosy complexion and the skin of a child. The body of this person of great holiness has two of the thirty-two auspicious marks of a Buddha. One of them is flat soles. The other is hands and feet as soft as silk. The soles of this person are indeed flat and soft, and his hands are as soft and smooth as silk. They are even more delicate than those of a newborn baby. Everyone who sees these features of his is filled with admiration. Nonetheless, this person of holy virtue has always said that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu is the greatest master.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A large dharma assembly was held during which many rinpoches, venerable ones, a geshe, dharma teachers, and great laypersons expressed their views, understanding, and thoughts. However, the only words that greatly surprised everyone in attendance were the discourses on the Buddha-dharma given by a few of those people of great holiness and virtue mentioned above. Their discourses on the dharma were judged to be the best of all. The exposition by one of them on emptiness was especially penetrating and brilliant. All of the rinpoches, venerable ones, the geshe, and the dharma teachers present were filled with admiration over the unfathomably deep realization of those people of holy virtue who gave those discourses.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Actually, there have been very numerous manifestations of the state of realization and virtue of those few people of great holiness. Two of them have been confirmed as dharma kings by having passed the test to be Golden Throne Holders. Two reincarnated patriarchs, six venerable ones, and rinpoches all underwent that test to see if they were qualified to ascend to the position of Golden Throne Holder, which carries with it the title H.H. Dharma King. The result of that testing was that all of the venerable ones and rinpoches did not have the realization to ascend to the position of Golden Throne Holder. Only one person of great holiness and virtue mentioned above received a H.H. Golden Throne Holder Certificate signed by seven monastics and ten witnesses. There was another dharma assembly in which people were tested to see if they qualified to perform the holy form of inner-tantric initiation. One after another venerable one and rinpoche failed to pass that test. Additionally, a demonic hindrance appeared. At the critical moment, a person of great virtue suddenly stepped forward from the crowd. That person displayed true realization and established an inner-tantric mandala in the holy form through a stone separating that person and the mandala. That person was the only one who obtained the qualification to perform the holy form of inner-tantric initiation and received a Certificate of Qualification to Perform the Holy Form of Inner-Tantric Initiation. However, to everyone\u2019s surprise, those two people of great holiness and virtue said that it is not important that the venerable ones and rinpoches there did not attain the position of Golden Throne Holder. They stated that the thing everyone must do at that moment was introspect upon one\u2019s own cultivation. They in essence said the following of themselves: Please do not write our names in any book. We are ordinary cultivators. You must wait at least until our cultivation rises to the level where the top of our heads can reach the soles of Sakyamuni Buddha\u2019s feet. At that time, you can praise us.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 However, it would be a grave mistake for anyone to think that those few beings of great holiness and virtue are not qualified to have their names appear in this book. Which venerable one or dharma king included in the main text of this book has established a true holy-form inner-tantric mandala in front of seven monastics and ten witnesses who observed the testing process? (One must have true Buddha-dharma realization to establish such a mandala. Mere knowledge of empty theories is useless.) Which person included in the main text of this book has been praised to such a high degree by H.H. Dharma King the fourth Dodrupchen Thupten Trinle Palzang Rinpoche, who is the supreme leader of the Longchen Nying-thik?<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen is the dharma king of great holiness within the Longchen Nying-thik Great Perfection lineage. All of the Longchen Nying-thik dharma in the world was originally transmitted by him. Many monasteries, such as the Dzogchen, Shechen, Kathok, and Palyul monasteries, received the Longchen Nying-thik dharma as a result of initiations and dharma transmissions performed for them by H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen. Famous figures such as H.H. Dharma King Jigme Phuntsok and his master, H.H. Tuoga Wish Fulfilling Jewel; H.E. Mighty Lion Dharma King Renzeng Nima; H.E. Xiazhu Qiuyang Rinpoche; H.E. the seventh Dzogchen Dharma King; H.E. Longyang Rinpoche; H.E. Tudeng Nima Rinpoche; H.E. Taluo Rinpoche; H.E. Renzeng Danbi Nima Rinpoche; and others were or are his disciples. Simply put, all of the Longchen Nying-thik dharma in this world is the dharma of H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen spoke of those two persons of great holiness and virtue in a supplementary recognition document. Addressing those two rinpoches, he stated the following in that document: \u201cTo… Rinpoche: You were born into an honored and holy blood lineage. I recognize as follows: You will carry out for living beings all of the practices of all of the Bodhisattvas involving compassion toward living beings. You will carry out for living beings all of the undertakings of all the Buddhas involving the saving of living beings. To… Rinpoche: You were born into an honored and holy blood lineage. I recognize as follows: As long as space exists, as long as living beings exist, you will be there together with them and eliminate their sufferings.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The Recluse Dharma King wrote the following in his letter: \u201cI saw the words of praise addressed to… Rinpoche and… Rinpoche in the recognitions written by my master, H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen, a dharma king of great holiness. Such words prove that those two Bodhisattvas of great holiness were truly recognized by that great Bodhisattva… Rinpoche was born into an honored and holy blood lineage. He is the incarnation of Master Shantaraksita… Rinpoche was born into an honored and holy blood lineage. She is the incarnation of Sariputra, a great venerable one. Thus, I confirm the recognitions of that great Bodhisattva. I affirm that such recognitions are supreme dharma decrees that are accurate. I respectfully convey the following wish: May the longevity of those two Bodhisattvas of great holiness be equal to that of heaven, and may they save all sentient beings.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 As for those two beings of great holiness and virtue, one of them is the incarnation of Sariputra, the greatest disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha, and the other is the incarnation of Great Patriarch Shantaraksita, the founder of the Nyingma sect. Only they were able to demonstrate successfully realization that those venerable ones could not demonstrate. It is therefore apparent that if they cannot be called H.H. Great Dharma King, then there is no person in this world who can be called H.H. Great Dharma King. Even though their status was clearly verified when they passed the test and received certificates showing they attained the position of H.H. Dharma King, those two still regard themselves as ordinary people. They continue to endure insults and adversity with patience and are compassionate. Nevertheless, they did not agree to have their states of realization and virtue described in this book. They also did not agree to have their high status as reincarnations of great patriarchs revealed. Moreover, they did not even agree to have their names appear in this book. Such modesty and virtue truly provide to all of us Buddhist disciples a precious model of great holiness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
