After the announcement was issued by the World Buddhist Headquarters on January 11, 2017, many Buddhist disciples mentioned that they had received blessings from the Great Compassionate Guanyin and had undergone many years of inner empowerment, but they never expected that they would be deceived by a fraudulent teacher. Now they understand that the Great Compassionate Guanyin blessings and true inner empowerment are so sacred and profound. However, there are also some Buddhist disciples who did not understand the announcement and foolishly believed that they had already received inner empowerment from their teacher, thinking that their teacher had an authentic inner empowerment altar, but they did not know that it was a fake altar! There was even a person who only achieved the rank of Blue Three Black Three and wanted to learn the "Offering a Bodhisattva a Table" practice, which is simply an international joke and a fantasy!
Based on this, in order to correct some people's incorrect views, the World Buddhist Headquarters has further supplemented the information about the Great Compassionate Guanyin blessings and true inner empowerment.
First, the Great Compassionate Guanyin blessings are divided into two stages: the stage of arising and the stage of perfection. The stage of arising only represents a superficial understanding, and whether one is a good person or a bad person, they can succeed in learning it and immediately bless others to enter the realm. However, the stage of perfection, which accounts for 97% of the practice, requires one to be a very good person. It is extremely difficult to attain the perfection of the Bodhi holy water.
Second, any teacher who violates the fundamental precepts of compassion, or does not have a lineage, or had a lineage but lost it, will be taken over by demons and become a demonic teacher. They can still bless their followers to show spiritual attainments, but this is the blessing of demonic power. The people who receive these blessings are accepting evil energy, bad luck, and the seeds of falling into the three evil realms!!! Moreover, this teacher who practices demonic methods will never attain the level of the Bodhi holy water and will never achieve enlightenment!!!
The following is a supplement regarding inner empowerment:
First, why couldn't Buddhist disciples hear about the true situation of inner empowerment before? The reason is that the rules of inner empowerment are strictly regulated: one must be close to someone who has attained enlightenment in order to hear and understand the rules of the inner empowerment altar and to receive the true inner empowerment. Therefore, even many Dharma Kings, Rinpoche, masters, and teachers do not have the qualifications to hear about true inner empowerment, let alone receive the empowerment to become inner empowerment disciples. Therefore, what ordinary Buddhist disciples hear and receive is all fake inner empowerment.
Second, except for the Buddha, even the Bodhisattvas of the tenth stage of realization must hold the inner empowerment ceremony in the inner empowerment altar. If it is not held in a legitimate inner empowerment altar that meets the two major rules, then it is a fake inner empowerment ceremony!
Third, according to the World Buddhist Headquarters, in order to establish an inner empowerment altar, one must have a level of at least three stages of the Golden Button. Anyone who claims to be able to establish an inner empowerment altar with less than three stages of the Golden Button is definitely a hundred percent fraud!!! Even famous living Buddhas like Ji Gong, current Rinpoche with deep cultivation approaching the third stage of the Golden Button, and the current President of the World Buddhist Headquarters, Lü Dongzan Rinpoche, as well as other Rinpoche, masters, and living Buddhas in Tibet and India, cannot achieve the level of "ascending the three golden pillars" or "offering a Bodhisattva a table". However, because Ji Gong, Lü Dongzan Rinpoche, and other holy beings with the level of the Golden Button have attained enlightenment, they can borrow a legitimate and established inner empowerment altar to empower their followers through the proper transmission. Although a holy being with one stage of the Golden Button or close to the third stage of the Golden Button can borrow the inner altar to empower their followers, if they empower outside the inner empowerment altar, it is not considered inner empowerment, and it will not be successful. This is what is meant by "leaving the inner altar, the inner empowerment disappears".
Fourth, for male teachers to establish an inner empowerment altar, they must meet the two major rules: "ascending the three golden pillars" and "offering a Bodhisattva a table". If they only fulfill one of these requirements, they cannot establish an inner empowerment altar! Female teachers must "offer a Bodhisattva a table" in order to establish an inner empowerment altar. Everyone must carefully compare the table in the Announcement No. 20170111 and verify each person listed. Only by understanding it can one avoid being deceived in life and avoid falling into a state of never achieving liberation. This is to prevent stepping into the evil path and enduring endless calamities.
Fifth, Wangzha Shangzun, who is at least at the third stage and close to the fourth stage of the Golden Button, has made a vow to establish an inner empowerment altar. Shangzun said: If my cultivation is still lacking a little and I cannot complete the rules for establishing an inner empowerment altar, I will take responsibility and ask the great holy beings for help. What I have vowed must be realized, this is my action. After the successful establishment of the inner empowerment altar, I am willing to lend it to holy beings with the level of at least one stage of the Golden Button. If you, as a teacher, have not achieved the rank of the Golden Button, you can report to the World Buddhist Headquarters and explain that you have the ability to borrow the inner empowerment altar to empower your disciples. I will also lend you the inner empowerment altar, but you must use a Vajra rope that is one and a half to three zhang long to properly transmit the inner empowerment to your disciples. Besides legitimate empowerment, I will not lend the inner empowerment altar to any teacher. I am very clear and deeply understand that none of the living Buddhas, masters, and other personnel who have participated in the examination of the Tripitaka and Vinaya, including the seven holy beings and ten teachers who supervised the examination, have the level of establishing an inner empowerment altar. In other words, none of these people have the qualifications to establish inner empowerment disciples! Even the great holy beings with the level of the third stage of the Golden Button, if they want to establish an inner empowerment altar, they have less than 60% certainty. Therefore, any teacher who claims to be able to empower with inner empowerment and have inner empowerment disciples is nothing more than a fraudulent imposter!!! Otherwise, would you dare to borrow my inner empowerment altar to empower your followers? If you dare not, then don't pretend to have inner empowerment and deceive your followers.
Sixth, true inner empowerment must have a Vajra rope that is one and a half to three zhang long. This Vajra rope is used to measure the distance between the teacher and the disciple during the empowerment ceremony. The Vajra pill must be held by the disciple, and the teacher starts the ritual from a distance, causing the Vajra pill held by the disciple to instantly change in size, height, and exhibit miraculous phenomena, such as dancing or performing acrobatics like figure skating on ice, with quick stops, slow rotations, fast turns, wandering and meandering, sudden changes in speed, and graceful movements. And the teacher is far away, giving commands for the Vajra pill to move, and as soon as the command is given, the Vajra pill moves. This Vajra pill that can exhibit miraculous phenomena and the Vajra rope of this length are then taken over and kept by the inner empowerment disciple. Anyone who does not have this Vajra rope that is one and a half to three zhang long and the Vajra pill that shows immediate spiritual attainments is a fake inner empowerment teacher and a fake inner empowerment disciple. Any teacher who can empower with inner empowerment must "offer a Bodhisattva a table" in order to attain the Bodhi holy water, because the inner empowerment ceremony must use the Bodhi holy water that can penetrate the alms bowl as the mother water for all inner empowerment ceremonies. Therefore, the phrase "inner empowerment" cannot be replaced by any magic tricks or the like!
Seventh, for anyone who denies the rules for establishing an inner empowerment altar, since you want to deny and slander by saying it is not possible, you should be able to provide reasons to prove why it is not possible. You must explain the principles of why it is not possible and demonstrate it through practice. You should be able to lift a hundred jin weight with one hand, and you should be able to make a piece of paper written by everyone disappear into thin air while everyone chants "Om Ah Hum". If you can't do it, it means you don't understand, and those who don't understand have no right to speak and no qualifications to deny!!! Any false teacher, in order to cover up their lack of knowledge, usually says, "We cultivate our own authentic Dharma, we must endure humiliation, and we shouldn't care about what others say." Moreover, any false teacher will claim to be a great Bodhisattva and say, "I will not do the two major rules that I don't approve of." Today, the headquarters tells all practitioners that those who say this are not unable to do it, but they don't have the ability to fulfill the two major rules. On the contrary, think about it, even if these two major rules are not feasible, if they are truly great holy beings, great Bodhisattvas, can't they easily demonstrate such small things as "ascending the three golden pillars" and "offering a Bodhisattva a table"? They can easily demonstrate it to their followers and prove that they have the qualifications to say that the two major rules for establishing an inner altar are not feasible. However, they can't even do this, but they still want to deny the two major rules for establishing an inner empowerment altar. This can only mean that they are low-level scammers in the martial arts world. It's like a duck that can't even enter the water commenting on someone who is surfing in the big waves, saying that their left foot is too heavy, their right foot is too light, and their water skills are not good. It's like a false teacher seeing a package of herbal medicine for treating headaches and saying it is fake and not good. When asked why it is not good, they don't even recognize the names of the herbs, and then they say: Regardless of the names of these herbs, in short, this package of medicine is fake. This can only mean that this false teacher is extremely low-level and despicable! Everyone should be clear that as an outsider, they have no right to comment on something they don't understand. Those who don't understand have no right to speak and no qualifications to deny!!! Anyone who doesn't understand and makes baseless comments is a low-level and despicable scammer!
In addition to this announcement, everyone must carefully study and understand Announcement No. 20170111 in order to avoid being deceived in life and falling into a state of never achieving liberation. This is to prevent stepping into the evil path and enduring endless calamities.
Attachment: This is the number one Vajra pestle used by great holy beings over 80 years old from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. This great living Buddha is demonstrating how the three golden pillars should be used with this Vajra pestle.
