Since the headquarters announced that the Shengde Exam has ended, we have received some feedback. Now we will provide a serious and decisive response to some of the important issues.
Firstly, it must be clarified that among the over one thousand participants in the Zhengfa Sheng Exam, there is not a single Bodhisattva of the eighth stage or above. The reason is simple: any Bodhisattva of the eighth stage or above does not need to take the Sheng Exam anymore! This is because they have already passed and obtained the gold button of the third stage of great Shengde.
Secondly, anyone who obtains the blue button rank is not considered a Shengde title. Anyone who is a Bodhisattva or a reincarnation of an Arhat must at least have the gold button!
Therefore, the headquarters must solemnly point out that whether one is a teacher or a disciple, anyone who claims that a certain teacher is originally a Bodhisattva of a certain stage but only took the blue button out of humility or to accommodate other teachers, or claims that a certain teacher is a great Shengde and can bestow the inner secret empowerment, but intentionally only took the blue button Shengde to show respect to other teachers, and so on, these statements are contradictory. When they fail the exam, they feel very upset, so why do they strive to take the exam again? The result is that they put in all their effort but still remain at the same rank as the first attempt! Those who spread rumors and make such statements are absolute demons and are committing the offense of slandering the Prince of Wisdom, Manjushri, who is the teacher of the seven Buddhas.
Everyone should be clear that all those who participate in the Sheng Exam, regardless of whether they approach it with a competitive attitude or a humble and accommodating attitude, Manjushri Bodhisattva adheres to principles. He does not consider your mindset when entering the exam. In front of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, there is no room for personal favoritism. That is why there is the saying at the entrance of the formation: "If you are at one stage, don't even think about advancing to the next stage; if you have a certain weight, don't try to add more." There is also a couplet that says: "True cannot be false, moving Mount Tai is like moving a plate; false cannot be true, surpassing the exam rank is harder than ascending to heaven." If a teacher claims to be a certain Bodhisattva but takes the exam with a humble and accommodating attitude, it is a shameless insult to Manjushri Bodhisattva! Since the start of the Sheng Exam, thousands of people have not missed a single person because there are accurate principles and not the slightest error. Even if you personally want to leave room and approach the exam with humility and accommodation, Manjushri Bodhisattva will only adhere to principles and assess your level of achievement. If you have a certain weight, you will be at that weight and show that many stages. Anyone who believes that a Bodhisattva will not adhere to principles is slandering Manjushri Bodhisattva.
All those who have taken the Sheng Exam know that during the exam, the examinee must first cast the Manjushri divination on their own. After casting the divination, they cannot look at it themselves or show it to anyone else. Then the examinee enters the formation exam. After the formation exam is over, the examinee opens the divination box to check if the results of the Manjushri divination match the results of the formation exam. Subsequently, the seven saints and ten witnesses at the scene also check if the results of the Manjushri divination match the results of the formation exam. Therefore, there can only be three situations:
Firstly, after casting the divination, the examinee enters the formation exam, gives their all, and ultimately fails the formation. At this time, when they open the divination box to check, the results of the Manjushri divination and the results of the formation exam must be completely identical, proving that the examinee did not leave any room.
Secondly, after casting the divination, the examinee enters the formation exam and voluntarily decides to stop after reaching a certain rank. At this time, when they open the divination box to check, if the results of the Manjushri divination and the results of the formation exam are completely identical, it proves that the examinee only has this level and will not have a higher level. This also proves that the examinee did not leave any room.
Thirdly, after casting the divination, the examinee enters the formation exam and voluntarily decides to stop after reaching a certain rank. At this time, when they open the divination box to check, if the results of the Manjushri divination are higher than the results of the formation exam, it indicates that the examinee left room because Manjushri Bodhisattva only follows the principle of the Buddha's true speech, actual speech, and non-deceptive speech, insisting on showing as many stages of achievement as there are.
However, in all the exams held at the headquarters, the third situation has not occurred, which means that none of the participants in the exam left any room!
Therefore, we now warn these fraudulent demons that if they do not repent and continue to exaggerate the facts, impersonate others, spread rumors, and deceive everyone without truly being good people and cultivating good conduct, their teachers or themselves will be named and included in the Vajra Formation Exam, and the video will be recorded to show how pitiful they are!
All Buddhist disciples, boasting and deceiving cannot lead to Shengde. Instead, it reveals the tail of false teachers, fraudsters, and demons. It is too foolish and pitifully low-level! We must sincerely listen to the Dharma voice of the Third Dharma King, Dorje Chang Buddha, study "Learning Buddhism" and "The True Meaning of the Heart Sutra," and constantly examine ourselves with the 128 views. We should diligently practice according to the two essential teachings of "The Great Liberation Seal," refrain from doing evil, and cultivate good deeds. We must cultivate the Buddha's teachings and follow the only path to truly achieve Shengde and liberation.
