世界日報 — 關於 “真佛法實顯道行,假佛法空說理論” 這一文的新聞發佈正確報導



         現在我們轉發的是新聞發佈的正確報導,你們可以轉發了,請大家注意,不要轉發之前那個誤寫了不正確重量的報導,同時要跟大家說明一下,由於南無第三世多杰羌佛說,學佛修行要修暇滿殊勝海心髓和最勝菩提空行海心髓,諸惡莫做、眾善奉行,利益眾生,這才是正事,不贊成拿杵上座的考試,聖德們為了讓羌佛支持拿杵上座,就故意設了一個陷阱,請羌佛來觀禮,結果羌佛來了,就造成佛陀無法推託,只得出面解難。

        金剛大力王拿杵上座的標準是上超30段,為最高頂峰,也就是說歷史上無論什麼大力士王牌或等妙覺巨聖德上超30 段,就是最高頂峰了,而南無第三世多杰羌佛竟然單手拿起上超了56段的鎮殿金剛杵超過了13秒鐘,其重量是420磅,成為世界上史無前例的拿杵金剛大力王,聖德們說南無羌佛拿杵上座的紀錄是前無古人、也敢預言是後無來者真正佛陀的本質。 
   
        這把鎮殿金剛杵存放在美國加州聖蹟寺,歡迎大家虔誠恭敬來拿這把鎮殿金剛杵,會給大家帶來吉祥殊勝的福音。

真佛法實顯道行,假佛法空說理論

世界日報 -- 關於 “真佛法實顯道行,假佛法空說理論” 這一文的新聞發佈正確報導
世界日報 -- 關於 “真佛法實顯道行,假佛法空說理論” 這一文的新聞發佈正確報導年近九十聖僧開初教尊,體重僅一百八十多磅,用其三根手指頭有骨節折斷變形的舊傷的手,在美國洛杉磯聖蹟寺大雄寶殿,眾目注視下,單手拿起兩百磅金剛杵上基座,聖力驚駭世人,遠超亞洲第一大力士。
【洛杉磯/法會現場紀實】
2020年2月9日,在美國聖蹟寺大雄寶殿,舉行了一場真實的佛法道行法會——「拿杵上座」考試,目的是鑒別學佛修行人的實際道行,對自身體質結構的改變程度。未料到,這考試無意中牽涉到第三世多杰羌佛,讓祂無法推託,出面解難。
什麼是「拿杵上座」?文物古董商店裡常見一種金剛杵,從幾十斤到三四百斤不等,這類巨杵出自西藏,名叫「上座杵」,式樣頗多,有普巴杵、五股杵、九股杵、時輪金剛杵、大威德金剛杵、密集金剛杵等,有前弘期經幻心時代所製,也有後弘期由蓮花生大師改制的正確標準上座杵。人們普遍認為是藝術品,極少有人知道,其實它們是古代用於直接檢查真假佛法的道行證量的,需要被檢測的人單手把金剛杵提起懸空,在規定時間內放上基座,這種測試叫「拿杵上座」。實踐證明,單手提起「上座杵」非常的困難,雙手能提千斤重的人,單手連三百斤重的杵都提不離地。照法規,每個人依各自的年齡體重而有各自的達標標準,達到此重量標準稱為「康體士」,康體士以上為上超,康體士以下為下降,上超的共有30個段位,下降的有5個級別。
「拿杵上座」是鑒別一個人是凡夫結構還是具有聖者成份的最科學的檢測器,因為聖者的體質成份與凡夫完全是兩碼事,外表形象看來都是人,但內質是完全不同的質地,相當於鳩鴿與鷹,外表都是鳥,但內質結構和力量天差地別,這是自然存在的差異。專業大力士每天訓練,經十幾二十年才成為體質超強的大力士,但這依然是同類量的累積造成的增強,並沒有本質的改變,改換不了其常人的體質功能,不能脫凡成聖。而修學了真佛法的聖者,卻能遠超大力士的體質和力量。初級聖德能在自身達標基礎上,上超12段至19段,上超20至25段為中級聖德,上超26至29段為大聖德,上超到最高頂峰30段是「金剛大力王「巨聖德。常規來說,常人中力氣大的男士想上超兩三段都很困難,國家級大力士能上超到9段、世界大力士上超到10段就再加不上去了。聖體質結構所生發的聖體力量,斷然不是常人體質所能企及的,特別是「鎮殿金剛杵」「上金階」或「離聖座」,那個等級的重量會把常人的筋骨、肌肉都拉到破裂,骨節垮架。必須是巨聖德體質的聖體力,才拉得起「鎮殿金剛杵」。我們曾親眼目睹亞洲龍武大力士「拿杵上座」,雖然他手指被當場拉裂出血,但最終上超了10段,獲得「世界大力士大力宗師」金腰帶,非常了不起。
2月9日這天,聖跡寺大雄寶殿有一柄420磅重的巨大金剛杵,是前兩天聖德們在這裡開法會時放上法台金階的,達到30段頂峰重量的「鎮殿金剛杵」,除了巨聖德,世界上從未有人將其撼動過分毫。「鎮殿金剛杵」已放在金階上,「拿杵上座」考試則無法啟動,因為法規規定,杵在金階上,便不可啟用金剛勾拿杵,否則犯律規。大家極度擔憂,所有力氣大的人都上去請這柄巨杵下金階,但無人能單手將該杵拉離聖座,他們用盡九牛二虎之力提拉,卻絲毫不動,法會無法進行。正好當天H.H.第三世多杰羌佛被恭請觀禮法會,大家請第三世多杰羌佛解難。羌佛說:「我本來就不贊同你們這項考科,考了半天也是常規之人,有幾個是初級聖者?不是聖者,上超十幾段都不可能!是誰把這杵放到金階上的,就讓誰把它取下來。」法師們說是一位聖僧拿上去的。羌佛說:「這完全是胡鬧,這不是故意刁難嗎?明明知道你們今天要考試,還故意設一個難關在這兒!讓他給拿下來!」法師說聖僧昨天就到外州弘法去了。無奈,羌佛只得登上法台,說:「我不是來上杵參與你們活動的,只是幫個忙。試試看吧,能不能幫你們把杵提下來還不知道。」說完,羌佛走到「鎮殿金剛杵」面前,單手把金剛杵提起懸空聖座,依法取出了金階。當下弟子們無比震驚,想不到羌佛只有一百多磅體重,卻輕易拿起了三百多磅體重的世界大力士都拿不動的「鎮殿金剛杵」上超了五十多段!如此聖體質聖體力,實在是驚世奇觀!
「鎮殿金剛杵」雖被請下了金階,但地面金階上還有一柄280磅重的考試杵,也得提下金階才能啟動考試。其實大家知道,現場無人能單手將這柄杵請下金階,就連亞洲大力士呂瀟,去年12月「拿杵上座」最高重量拿起226磅。今天同樣,在場所有大力士個個勇猛上前奮力提取這金剛杵,這些人中有的平常參加大力士比賽雙手能舞弄七八百磅,今日單手提這280磅的杵竟絲毫不動,完全舞弄不了!最後還是由羌佛單手提起取下了金階,應試法會總算正式啟動了。
這應考前的意外,卻造成了神秘驚喜的發現!原來,羌佛的返老回春,不只是外表的年輕,而內質也與之同等,甚於年輕人的青春質地因子太多倍了!
羌佛的弟子,世界佛教總部開初教尊說:「我敢在此斷言,除了南無第三世多杰羌佛有此聖力,這世界上任何法王任何大活佛大法師都別想提起《鎮殿金剛杵》分毫!」開初教尊從來沒有練習過任何健身運動,更沒做過任何重力訓練,沒有學過武術,只是个修行打坐修法的文人。這位老聖德是只差兩歲就九十歲的老人了,體重一百八十多磅,三根手指頭有骨節折斷變形的舊傷,但他竟然用這隻殘缺的手,把另一柄初級聖者杵,依法規拿上了基座,上超了十六段,證明了得道高人聖者的超凡體質體力!
在場眾人一致公認,「拿杵上座」是鑒別真假佛法、真假聖者的最直截了當的檢測器,是聖是凡,「拿杵上座」,一目了然!讓人百思不解的是,整日進行重量訓練的專業大力士們,為什麼會不如一個打坐修行從不做重量訓練的修行人的體質體力呢?如2014年11月代表中國到馬來西亞吉隆坡參加世界大力士比賽獲得的亞洲第一大力士的呂瀟,2017年在遼寧春晚拉184噸火車前行20米,他體重350磅,年齡36歲,2019年12月27日在中國瀋陽「拿杵上座」,他上超了自身達標標準2段;而一個體重180多磅,年近90歲的佛教高僧老人,卻超過了呂瀟的段位十四段!他的師父H.H.第三世多杰羌佛更是令人無法想像,只能說,除了佛陀的本質,有誰能做得到呢?無論我們相信不相信,事實就擺在面前,沒有任何技巧花招可用,就是直截了當提起了實際的重量,除了驚歎認可道行高深,我們還能說什麼呢?這次活動讓我們明白了,佛教歷史一直以來處於模棱兩可的玄乎空論,總算打開了樞紐,亮出了實質的真相!

                    多杰羌佛降世皈依境


        宇宙無始時,天地茫荒,萬物靜謐,沒有時間之長短,沒有空間之大小,無形無色,無內無外,無生無死,這就是法身佛,法身佛的實際含意是宇宙之不滅概念,這個不滅的宇宙概念又稱法界真如,即是普賢王如來(阿達爾瑪佛)的表法。但是,法身佛只是表達宇宙真諦不生不滅、不來不去的概念,沒有形象,沒有言語,無法表義──如形象義、語言義等,由是因緣,法身無相佛正覺圓滿出第一個報身具相佛,報身具相佛化身出金剛薩埵等化身,為區別故,法身佛命名為阿達爾瑪佛,報身佛命名為多杰羌佛,化身命名為金剛薩埵,實際即是普賢王如來,即是阿達爾瑪佛,即是多杰羌佛。實則無二佛,而是為法身、報身、化身之別使然。由是法義,普賢王如來不直接化身,就燃燈古佛和金剛薩埵亦是多杰羌佛化身,而釋迦牟尼佛是燃燈古佛之弟子。但很多教派都列有普賢王如來為開法界之第一傳承佛陀,其實這樣講也沒有錯,因為普賢王如來雖為法身無相,無法可說,但第一起緣必定是法身而顯報身多杰羌佛,由報身佛才始宏佛法渡三界眾生成聖。

        多杰羌佛亦名金剛總持,又名持金剛(即是把持一切金剛之意),是宇宙中第一位至高無上的具相佛陀,多杰羌佛的出現,代表著整個宇宙間的佛教有形象的最高領袖誕生了,自此,由多杰羌佛開始在法界中傳法渡生,有了佛教,佛法才開始傳播弘揚。

        多杰羌佛宏化成就若干佛陀弟子,其中有五個最著名的弟子,他們分別是東方金剛不動佛、南方寶生佛、西方阿彌陀佛、北方不空成就佛和中央毘羅遮那佛,另有其他第一代若干諸佛菩薩。多杰羌佛是法界中弘傳佛法的誕生者,是整個佛教在法界中的最高教主。

        多杰羌佛的降世與任何佛陀的化身不同,是屬於原始性表顯佛法的存在,故為降世,於每一眾生世界中(如娑婆世界),只有獨一的降世,以表正法之所在,也就是說,在同一時代不同時轉世兩位多杰羌佛,必須等待前一位多杰羌佛離開世界後,後一位多杰羌佛才會隨眾生福報因緣誕生。如在娑婆世界曾降世多杰羌佛第二世維摩詰聖尊,維摩詰離開娑婆世界後兩千多年,由眾生因緣福報的成熟,第三世多杰羌佛雲高益西諾布才降世。而根據大日如來尊勝法王授記,第四世多杰羌佛將於五千年後再降臨此世界。

         雲高益西諾布頂聖如來,是由世界上第一流的大成就者、大教派著名的法王、仁波且們在佛教史上唯一依法認證出具文書法定的多杰羌佛第三世!

   DORJE CHANG BUDDHA LINEAGE REFUGE TREE

    When the universe originated, it was boundless and everything was silent. There was no such thing as length of time or size of space. There was no shape and form, no interior and exterior, no birth and death. This is the dharmakaya (dharma body) Buddha. The true meaning of the dharmakaya Buddha is the concept of a universe that does not perish. This concept of a universe that does not perish is also called “dharmadhatutathata (dharma realm true-suchness),” which is Samantabhadra Tathagata (Adharma Buddha).
     However, the dharmakaya Buddha only expresses the concept of the true essence of the universe; that is, not being born and not dying, not coming and not going. The dharmakaya Buddha has no form and does not speak. It has no way to communicate any meaning, such as meaning through images or meaning through language. Because of such karmic conditions, the formless dharmakaya Buddha generated the first sambhogakaya Buddha with form. This sambhogakaya Buddha with form transformed into Vajrasattva and other nirmanakayas.
      In order to make a distinction between those three, the dharmakaya Buddha was named Adharma Buddha, the sambhogakaya Buddha was named Dorje Chang Buddha, and the nirmanakaya was named Vajrasattva. Actually, Samantabhadra Tathagata is Adharma Buddha and also is Dorje Chang Buddha. In truth, there are not two Buddhas. These distinctions resulted from there being a dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, and nirmanakaya.

      Based on this dharma, Samantabhadra Tathagata did not directly incarnate. Even the ancient Buddha Dipankara and Vajrasattva were the nirmanakayas of Dorje Chang Buddha. Sakyamuni Buddha was a disciple of Dipankara Buddha. However, many sects list Samantabhadra Tathagata as the first Buddha who began all the lineages in the dharmadhatu. This way of thinking is actually not erroneous. That is because although Samantabhadra Tathagata is a dharmakaya without form and has no way of speaking, the origin lies with this dharmakaya from which the sambhogakaya Dorje Chang Buddha manifested. This sambhogakaya Buddha was the first one to spread the Buddha-dharma and save living beings in the three spheres of existence so that they would become holy beings.
       Dorje Chang Buddha is also called Buddha Vajradhara or Ruler of the Vajra Beings. In the entire universe, Dorje Chang Buddha is the first Buddha with form and is the highest Buddha. That is, the highest leader of Buddhism in the entire universe came into being in the form of Dorje Chang Buddha. It was Dorje Chang Buddha who began transmitting dharma and saving living beings in the dharmadhatu. As a result, Buddhism was born and the Buddha-dharma began spreading.
       The teachings of Dorje Chang Buddha led to many disciples becoming Buddhas. The five most famous among such disciples are Aksobhya Buddha of the east, Ratnasambhava Buddha of the south, Amitabha Buddha of the west, Amoghasiddhi Buddha of the north, and Vairocana Buddha of the center. There are also many other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas among the original disciples of Dorje Chang Buddha. Dorje Chang Buddha was the one who initially propagated the Buddha-dharma in the dharmadhatu. Dorje Chang Buddha is the supreme leader of all of Buddhism in the dharmadhatu.
        The incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha is different from the incarnation of any other Buddha. Such an incarnation is a primordial manifestation of the existence of Buddha-dharma. In each world of living beings, there can be at any one time only one incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, who manifests or expresses the existence of the true dharma. There will not be a second incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha in the same age or era. Only after the first incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha leaves the world can the second incarnation be born based on karmic conditions relating to the good fortune of living beings. For example, the holy and venerable Vimalakirti, who was the second Dorje Chang Buddha, took birth in this earthly realm in the past. The third Dorje Chang Buddha, H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu, took birth in this earthly realm more than two thousand years after Vimalakirti left it and only when karmic conditions relating to the good fortune of living beings had matured. Furthermore, according to the formal pronouncement of H.H. Mahavairocana Tathagata Dharma King Zunsheng, the fourth Dorje Chang Buddha will descend into this world five thousand years from now.
        H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata is the only Dorje Chang Buddha III in the history of Buddhism. This has been recognized by greatly accomplished beings of the highest order in the world as well as famous dharma kings and rinpoches from various sects who have issued written recognition documents in accordance with the dharma!

簡述多杰羌佛轉世

簡述多杰羌佛轉世




簡述多杰羌佛轉世

        多杰羌佛即是金剛總持,又名持金剛,而不是金剛持,金剛持是上師,金剛總持是佛,而且是原始第一報身佛,由法身佛阿達爾瑪佛(普賢王如來)化顯的報身相,其一切佛法皆是由普賢王如來真如所顯,由於普賢王如來是法身佛,是無有前者,無有後際,無色無空,不來不去,上無諸佛可成,下無眾生可渡之如如真諦,故普賢王如來為法身無相,無言,無形,如是無法之主,無主故不能渡眾生。由是因緣法身無相佛正覺圓滿出第一個報身具相佛,報身具相佛再化身金剛薩埵等,為區別故,法身佛命名為阿達爾瑪佛,報身佛命名為多杰羌佛,化身即金剛薩埵,實際即是普賢王如來,即是阿達爾瑪佛,即是多杰羌佛。實則無二佛,而是為法身、報身、化身之別使然。由是法義,普賢王如來不直接化身,就燃燈古佛亦是多杰羌佛化身。多杰羌佛亦名金剛總持,又名持金剛(即是把持一切金剛之意),是宇宙中第一位至高無上的具相佛陀,也就是宇宙間的佛教的最高領袖誕生了,自此,由多杰羌佛開始在法界中傳法渡生,佛法才開始傳播弘揚。但是,在很多教派和傳承法義裡都將普賢王如來列為開法界之第一傳承佛陀,其實這樣講也是正確的,因為普賢王如來雖為法身無相,但第一起緣必定是法身,由法身而顯報身多杰羌佛,由報身佛才開始在法界傳播佛法,同時化身金剛薩埵等於三界宏法,眾生才有了依法成聖之主。

        我們在法本上常見到的一個藍色阿達爾瑪佛具體形象,其實這個形象是一個假設,因為沒有一個假設的形體,總不能看不見的無法繪成唐卡的真如空相為阿達爾瑪佛嘛,空是無形象可畫出來的,法身佛無相可表,實際上是宇宙(法界)之不生不滅真諦的概念,由不生不滅的這個概念化顯報身佛(金剛總持),多杰羌佛即是最古的第一報身佛,具備十方諸佛的無上德相,始起於法界及三界中而表法,故金剛總持多杰羌佛實為法界佛教大教主、原始佛祖。但有很多佛教徒把多杰羌佛金剛總持誤解釋成金剛持,這是帶有罪業的原則性的錯誤,金剛總持是掌持總管法界一切金剛的涵意,故為持金剛,是把持著金剛們,而金剛持則是修持金剛之行持,自覺覺他,是金剛上師的意思,金剛持與持金剛天地之差,而持金剛的傳承是授與一切諸佛菩薩所接法,無論是顯宗、密宗,都由持金剛始傳佛法,釋迦牟尼佛所傳八萬四千法門,皆是由多杰羌佛所化顯燃燈古佛所授與釋迦牟尼佛,而密乘之寧瑪、薩迦、覺囊、噶舉、格魯、息解、噶當、東密、真言宗、唐密等,包括釋迦牟尼佛所傳的時輪金剛等西密,都是唯一的由多杰羌佛為始祖傳承,或由多杰羌佛化身金剛薩埵傳承。持金剛是法界大教主,而不是金剛上師的金剛持,當弟子找到合格師資時,要把自己的金剛上師當成佛陀來觀想,皆是為重法、重傳承而觀師為佛的涵意,實質上無論是什麼樣的上師,未具大聖仁波且共同合法認證,該上師均屬佛慢觀想而非佛陀,就是金剛總持第二世維摩詰聖尊也是由釋迦牟尼佛宣布認證為如來。

        多杰羌佛的轉世與任何諸佛的化身不同,是屬於原始性表顯佛法的存在,故於每一眾生世界中,獨一降世,作為表正法之所在,在同一時代不轉世第二位多杰羌佛,必須等待前一位離開世界後,後一位才會隨眾生福報緣起誕生,如在娑婆世界曾降世多杰羌佛第二世維摩詰聖尊,維摩詰離開娑婆世界後兩千多年,由眾生因緣福報的成熟,第三世多杰羌佛雲高益西諾布才降世,多杰羌佛的降世是任何人都冒稱不了的,為維護法界佛法之尊嚴,防止魔子魔孫冒稱持金剛(金剛總持),金剛總持必須帶著正法證量而降世以為表法,而多杰羌佛的證量是任何佛陀都不能表顯的,原因是諸佛為了維護正法因緣,故不表顯與多杰羌佛同聖境的證量!相反的,一切魔軍們不具備表顯的功夫,所以無法表顯!如在釋迦牟尼佛住世時,多杰羌佛降世為維摩詰聖尊,幫助釋迦牟尼佛教化五百比丘及八千菩薩,多杰羌佛第二世維摩詰聖尊其智慧、神通表法高不可攀,無有任何聖者可及,而多杰羌佛第三世雲高益西諾布,大日如來授記五條必備:能佛降甘露、擇緣預報、取業除障、能將祥霧拿入雕刻實物長存不走、玄妙彩寶雕,這五項無聖可複,如果他授的記有大聖做得到,照樣複製成功,就算他所認證的多杰羌佛雲高益西諾布是假的,他所的話是欺世盜名的,在現實中已證明確實這世界上的大聖德們,乃至任何專家,就是無法做到雲高益西諾布三世多杰羌佛的成就,而佛菩薩級的大法王們都一致認證文憑明,因此徹底證明多杰羌佛的身份是冒稱不了的,同時為了防止魔妖作亂,假冒多杰羌佛降世,而對多杰羌佛的降世,必須是經圓滿多聖認證,又是多聖佐證恭祝,認證的多聖必須是佛菩薩、大法王,佐證恭祝的必須是大聖德菩薩們,他們必須是著名的佛教領袖及大仁波且,如果不具備此等聖量級的認證恭祝,不具文憑證書,自稱為聖者則是冒牌假貨,世人有「某某仁波且是公認的金剛總持化身」,這種法是邪知邪見,非正道佛門之法定,金剛總持化身道量何在?顯密圓通何通?五明妙諳何存?五聖十證是由哪幾位法王認證的?認證第三世文憑拿得出來嗎?哪幾位著名聖德賀證的?凡無實證實量,無有確切認證為第三世的賀證文憑,無論是什麼高僧,一律屬於恭維誇張傳聞,故當明了金剛總持即是持金剛(佛陀),金剛持即是喇嘛(上師)。如果誤把金剛持當作持金剛或金剛總持解釋,無疑的是把一個金剛上師的身份凌駕於阿彌陀佛等佛陀的頭上,這是罪大惡極行為,因為金剛總持是明文傳承中的五佛等之師多杰羌佛(持金剛)。

 BRIEF DISCRIPTION OF THE INCARNATION OF DORJE CHANG BUDDHA

        Dorje Chang Buddha is Buddha Vajradhara (金剛總持, pronounced jin gang zong chi in Chinese, which literally means “Supreme Ruler of the Vajra Beings”) and is also called in Chinese 持金剛 (pronounced chi jin gang, which literally means “Ruler of the Vajra Beings”). Dorje Chang Buddha is not 金剛持 (pronounced jin gang chi in Chinese, which means “Practitioner of the Vajra” as explained below). In English, people often use the word vajradhara to refer to a 金剛持 (jin gang chi), or Practitioner of the Vajra. Actually a 金剛持 (vajradhara) is a master or guru. BuddhaVajradhara is a Buddha. Moreover, Buddha Vajradhara is the primordial sambhogakaya Buddha whose sambhogakaya manifested out of the dharmakaya of Adharma Buddha (Adi Buddha, or Samantabhadra Tathagata). All of the Buddha-dharma of Buddha Vajradhara originated from the tathata (true suchness) of Samantabhadra Tathagata. With respect to the dharmakaya of Samantabhadra Tathagata, there is no past and no future. Without form yet not empty, He neither comes nor goes. There are no Buddhas above Him to become. There are no living beings below Him to be saved. Such is His absolute truth. Thus, the dharma-body state of Samantabhadra Tathagata is without signs or characteristics, without speech, and without form. As such, there is no subject or being who could expound the dharma. Without such a subject or being, the multitudinous living beings could not be saved.
      Because of such karmic conditions, the formless dharmakaya Buddha generated the first sambhogakaya Buddha with form. This sambhogakaya Buddha with form transformed into Vajrasattva and other nirmanakayas. In order to make a distinction between those three, the dharmakaya Buddha was named Adharma Buddha; the sambhogakaya Buddha was named Dorje Chang Buddha; the nirmanakaya was named Vajrasattva. Actually, all three are Samantabhadra Tathagata, all three are Adharma Buddha, and three are Dorje Chang Buddha. In truth, there are not two Buddhas. These distinctions are due to a dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, and nirmanakaya. Based on this dharma, Samantabhadra Tathagata did not directly incarnate. Even the ancient Buddha Dipankara and Vajrasattva were the nirmanakayas of Dorje Chang Buddha.
       Dorje Chang Buddha is also called Buddha Vajradhara or Ruler of the Vajra Beings (持金剛 chi jin gang). In the entire universe, Dorje Chang Buddha is the first Buddha with form and is the highest Buddha. That is, the highest leader of Buddhism in the entire universe came into being in the form of Dorje Chang Buddha. It was Dorje Chang Buddha who began transmitting dharma and saving living beings in the dharmadhatu. As a result, Buddhism was born and the Buddha-dharma began spreading.
       However, many sects and lineages list Samantabhadra Tathagata as the first Buddha who began all the lineages in the dharmadhatu. This way of thinking is actually correct as well. That is because although Samantabhadra Tathagata is a dharmakaya without form and has no way of speaking, the origin lies with this dharmakaya from which the sambhogakaya Dorje Chang Buddha manifested. This sambhogakaya Buddha was the first one to spread the Buddha-dharma in the dharmadhatu. That sambhogakaya Buddha also transformed into Vajrasattva and other nirmanakayas whospread the dharma in the triloka (three spheres). Because of the birth of Dorje Chang Buddha, living beings were thus able to become holy beings in accordance with His dharma teachings.
     We often see in dharma books a blue image of Adharma Buddha. Actually, this image is a symbol. Such a symbolic form is necessary since the tathata emptiness of Adharma Buddha is invisible and cannot be depicted in a thangka. There is no way to draw the shape of emptiness. The dharmakaya has no features that can be pictorially depicted. In fact, the concept of dharmakaya is the absolute truth of the universe (dharmadhatu) that is not born and does not perish. The sambhogakaya Buddha (Buddha Vajradhara) manifested out of this concept of not being born and not perishing.
      Dorje Chang Buddha is the ancient, primordial sambhogakaya Buddha. He has the unsurpassed virtuous appearance that all of the Buddhas in the ten directions have. He was the first in the dharmadhatu and triloka (three spheres) to express the dharma. Therefore, Buddha Vajradhara, or Dorje Chang Buddha, is actually the greatest leader of Buddhism in the entire dharmadhatu. He is the original ancestor of Buddhism.
     However, many Buddhists misinterpret Dorje Chang Buddha, or Buddha Vajradhara, as being a 金剛持 (jin gang chi), or Practitioner of the Vajra (i.e. vajradhara). This is a mistake in a matter of principle that carries with it a karmic offence. Buddha Vajradhara has the meaning of one who is in charge of and has supervision over all of the vajra beings. Thus, He is the 持金剛 (chi jin gang) or Ruler of the Vajra Beings, the one who has dominion over the vajra beings. On the other hand, a 金剛持 (jin gang chi), or Practitioner of the Vajra (i.e. vajradhara), is one who learns the dharma and teaches others. Such a person enlightens himself and others. The term 金剛持 (jin gang chi), or Practitioner of the Vajra, connotes Vajra Master. There is a world of difference between a 金剛持 (jin gang chi) or Practitioner of the Vajra on the one hand and a 持金剛  (chi jin gang) or Ruler of the Vajra Beings on the other hand.
       Buddha Vajradhara (also called Ruler of the Vajra Beings) has passed down dharma to all of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who received such dharma. All of the Buddha-dharma of both exoteric and esoteric Buddhism was originally transmitted by this Ruler of the Vajra Beings. The 84,000 dharma methods that Sakyamuni Buddha taught were transmitted to Sakyamuni Buddha by the ancient Buddha Dipankara, who was a nirmanakaya of Dorje Chang Buddha. Tibetan esoteric Buddhism, which contains all of the dharma of the Nyingma, Sakya, Jonang, Kagyu, andGeluk sects, including the Kalachakra Vajra Dharma transmitted by Sakyamuni Buddha; Japanese esoteric Buddhism; and esoteric Buddhism taught by Sakyamuni Buddha contained in the Tripitaka all come from the lineage of which Dorje Chang Buddha is the original ancestor or from the lineage of His nirmanakaya, Vajrasattva. 金剛總持 Buddha Vajradhara or Ruler of the Vajra Beings is the supreme leader of Buddhism in the dharmadhatu. He is not a Vajra Master who is a 金剛持 (jin gang chi), or Practitioner of the Vajra (i.e. vajradhara).
       When disciples find a qualified master, they should visualize their Vajra Master as being a Buddha. This is done out of respect for the dharma and respect for one’s lineage. However, no matter what type of master he may be, if his identity or status has not been recognized as a Buddha by rinpoches of great holiness in accordance with the dharma, then he is not a Buddha. Still, the disciple must visualize Him as a Buddha. Even the holy and venerable Vimalakirti, who as the second Buddha Vajradhara, was affirmed as a Tathagata (Buddha) through an announcement of Sakyamuni Buddha.
       The incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha is different from the nirmanakayas of any other Buddha. Such an incarnation is a primordial manifestation of the existence of Buddha-dharma. In each world of living beings, there can be at any one time only one incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, who manifests or expresses the existence of the true dharma. There will not be a second incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha in the same age or era. Only after the first incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha leaves the world can the second incarnation be born based on karmic conditions relating to the good fortune of living beings. For example, the holy and venerable Vimalakirti, who was the second Dorje Chang Buddha, took birth in this earthly realm in the past. The third Dorje Chang Buddha, H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu, took birth in this earthly realm more than two thousand years after Vimalakirti left it and only when karmic conditions relating to the good fortune of living beings had matured.
       Nobody can get away with falsely claiming to be the incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha. In order to protect the dignity of the Buddha-dharma in the dharmadhatu and prevent demons from falsely claiming to be Buddha Vajradhara or the Ruler of the Vajra Beings, Buddha Vajradhara must be born with His own dharma and realization so that He may manifest or express the dharma. No other Buddha is able to manifest realization equal to the realization of Dorje Chang Buddha. That is because in order to protect the true dharma, the Buddhas do not manifest realization powers at the sameholy level as the realization of Dorje Chang Buddha. Conversely, all demons lack the power to manifest such realization and therefore cannot manifest such realization.
       When Sakyamuni Buddha lived in this world, Dorje Chang Buddha took birth as the holy and venerable Vimalakirti, who helped Sakyamuni Buddha teach the 500 monks and 8,000 Bodhisattvas. The holy and venerable Vimalakirti, who was the second incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, had the highest wisdom and the greatest ability to manifest supernatural powers as an expression of dharma. No other holy being could match Him.
       H.H. Mahavairocana Tathagata formally pronounced that the third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu, must meet five conditions: He must successfully invoke the Buddhas to bestow nectar. He must be able to perform the Golden Vase Selection of Karmic Affinity and predict the results of that ceremony beforehand. He must be able to eliminate the karmic obstructions of disciples. He must be able to take mist, place it inside a hollowed out sculpted boulder, and have the mist stay there. He must be able to carve wondrous multicolored sculptures.
       The formal pronouncement stated that no other holy being could repeat those five types of accomplishments. It also stated that if any other person of great holiness repeat those five types of accomplishments, then Mahavairocana Tathagata’s recognition that H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu is Dorje Chang Buddha is false, and the pronouncement has deceived the public in order to build up a false reputation.
       The facts have proven that in this world there is no being of great holiness and virtue or even an expert who is able to match the accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu. Furthermore, great dharma kings on the level of a Buddha or Bodhisattvahave unanimously recognized the identity of H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbuthrough recognition certificates. This thoroughly proves that no one can get away with falsely claiming the identity or status of Dorje Chang Buddha.
       In order to prevent demons from wreaking havoc by falsely claiming to be the incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, the required number of many holy beings must recognize the incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha. Furthermore, many additional holy beings must bear witness to the veracity of the recognition and respectfully offer congratulations. The many holy beings who recognize the incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha must be Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or great dharma kings. Those who bear witness to the veracity of the recognition and respectfully offer congratulations must beextremely holy and virtuous Bodhisattvas. All of those who recognize, bear witness, and respectfully offer congratulations must be famous leaders within Buddhism and great rinpoches. If the identity of the person was notrecognized by those on such a holy level, if congratulations were not respectfully offered to him by those on such a holy level, and if he does not have legitimate recognition certificates, then his claims that he is a holy being are false.
       People say, “So-and-so rinpoche is universally recognized as the incarnation of Buddha Vajradhara.” This way of speaking is based on heretical and erroneous understanding. It is not in accord with the rules of true Buddhism. Where is the realization of this rinpoche that an incarnation of Buddha Vajradhara would have? Does this rinpoche have complete proficiency in both exoteric and esoteric Buddhism? Does he have full mastery of the Five Vidyas? Which five dharma kings have recognized his identity as being Buddha Vajradhara and which ten dharma kings or rinpoches have certified that recognition? Can he show others a recognition certificate showing he is the third Buddha Vajradhara? Which several famous people of holy virtue respectfully offered congratulations to him for being recognized? No matter how high a certain monastic may be, if he does not have true realization and the required written recognitions andcongratulations stating he is the third incarnation of Buddha Vajradhara, then all claims by others that he is Buddha Vajradhara are flattery, exaggeration, and rumors.
       Hence, one must understand that Buddha Vajradhara (金剛總持, jin gang zong chi) is 持金剛 (chi jin gang, which is a Buddha). On the other hand, a 金剛持 (jin gang chi) is a lama (master). Anyone who misinterprets a 金剛持(jin gang chi) as being a 持金剛  (chi jin gang) or Buddha Vajradhara is undoubtedly placing the status of a mere vajra master over that of Amitabha Buddha and other Buddhas. Such conduct is a terrible offense because according to the sutras and esoteric scriptures Buddha Vajradhara is Dorje Chang Buddha (持金剛   chi jin gang), the Master of the Five Buddhas and other Buddhas.
