The hundredth holy meeting hosted by me, Wangzha, has officially come to a close today. I have completed the entire ritual of the hundredth holy meeting. During the holy meeting, some practitioners were very serious and responsible, focusing on reciting scriptures, chanting Buddha's name, practicing mantras, and singing praises. They benefited a lot. However, some people were distracted by observing others' expressions and actions, listening to others' recitations and songs. What's even more unfortunate is that they even commented on others' good or bad. This has tainted the holy meeting with impure karma. Fortunately, it has not destroyed the "Empowerment of the Main Deity's Dharma Connection." As I have announced before, those who complete the hundredth holy meeting have accumulated great merits and will receive a blue button or a black button. More importantly, they will receive the "Empowerment of the Main Deity's Dharma Connection." This involves the main deity's dharma that every practitioner has cultivated over countless lifetimes. Considering that this empowerment is the highest and foremost secret empowerment, some people have wondered, "Has Venerable Wangzha obtained this level of attainment to invite Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the void to empower us?" As a humble monk, I will now answer you: Put a hundred percent of your attention on this matter and do not indulge in random thoughts. Although this empowerment is the highest, it is just a piece of cake. Even if my accomplishments are not sufficient, with the agreement and vows made by His Holiness Haiyu Zun, Gelan Deqian Shile Zun, Diouke Shang Zun, and me, even if our spiritual attainments are not enough, would the compassionate Third Dharma King, Dorje Chang Buddha, abandon us? If the main deity were invited by the Buddha to attend, wouldn't that be a piece of cake? Moreover, the four of us are still capable of inviting the main deity.
The "Empowerment of the Main Deity's Dharma Connection" is the foremost of all secret empowerments. It is also known as the "Empowerment of Supreme Meaning." To receive this empowerment is even more difficult than climbing the highest peaks. Master Lianhua once bestowed this empowerment upon the Tibetan king Chisong Dezhin and Yixi Cuojia. For a Buddhist disciple to receive this empowerment, they must personally inquire about their dharma connection with the main deity from their past lives until this present life. What dharma have they cultivated the most since their past lives? Who is their main deity? Regarding the main deity, any holy teacher of any rank does not have the authority to make the final decision. It must be a direct consultation between the main deity and the disciple. When the practitioner personally sees the main deity Bodhisattva face to face, besides the Buddha's descending of the nectar, what kind of secret Buddhist teachings do you think can be as real and comparable? The teachings are definitely authentic. The presiding grand master of the empowerment is not allowed to sit on the Dharma throne. They can only stand beside the disciple. The empowerment of the main deity's dharma connection is divided into three levels. Based on the difference in the disciple's level, the main deity will appear to the disciple with different levels of holy appearance. For the highest level, the main deity Bodhisattva (the main deity) will personally meet with the disciple, answer their questions on the spot, and personally bestow the Empowerment of the Main Deity's Dharma Connection to the disciple. For the middle level, the main deity will answer the disciple's questions about the main deity's dharma with their actions and voice. They will also bestow the Empowerment of the Main Deity's Dharma Connection to the disciple. For the lowest level, when the disciple asks a question, the main deity will personally manifest the main deity's dharma to the disciple and bestow a pill of the Empowerment of the Main Deity's Dharma Connection to the disciple. Even for the lowest level, it is still an interaction between the disciple and the main deity, not the guru speaking on behalf of the main deity. Any guru who speaks on behalf of the main deity is a witch or a charlatan!!! The disciple must understand the main deity's dharma at the main deity's place and receive the pill of the Empowerment of the Main Deity's Dharma Connection. Only then is the empowerment complete. The grand master standing aside has the right to speak. According to the main deity's instructions to the disciple, the grand master will transmit the main deity's dharma to the disciple according to the proper lineage. Therefore, from the beginning of the empowerment, before the disciple receives the main deity's instructions personally, the grand master can only invite the Buddha and Bodhisattva main deities to attend and answer the disciple's questions. They do not have the right to interrupt during the empowerment. Any interruption is a demonic speech!!!
As for those who did not participate or did not complete the hundredth holy meeting, you can go and release animals or do good deeds, engage in activities that benefit society. This is more practical than accumulating merits through participating in the holy meeting. As long as you refrain from doing evil and practice good deeds, follow the 128 teachings of the Third Dharma King, Dorje Chang Buddha, as a guide, study the book "Learning Buddhism" well, and practice the "Essence of the Ocean of Actions of the Great Bodhisattva of the Earth" or the "Essence of the Ocean of Actions of the Perfectly Auspicious Time," I guarantee that you will definitely receive a secret empowerment and obtain the corresponding main deity's dharma!!!
The hundredth holy meeting hosted by Venerable Wangzha has successfully concluded today. The first sentence Venerable Wangzha said when closing the meeting was, "Distribute the recording of my speech at the end of the holy examination meeting on December 30th of last year to everyone." This recording contains Venerable Wangzha's speech in Tibetan and its Chinese translation. Venerable Wangzha has performed the Eight Winds practice of eliminating obstacles for every recording that is given to the participants, so it has great blessings for those who respectfully listen to it. Besides listening to the teachings and respectfully requesting, any Buddhist disciple can individually go to the World Buddhist Headquarters to respectfully request and take it home to listen. Please contact the monks at the World Buddhist Headquarters at (626)789-1001.
