Regarding two serious issues, the following announcement is made:
First, regarding the COVID-19 pandemic that has occurred in various countries around the world, Nanwu Qiangfo has repeatedly advised everyone to believe in the government's handling of the situation and to comply with the government's epidemic prevention regulations. However, Nanwu Qiangfo has never practiced any so-called blessed water to prevent the coronavirus. The Buddha would never engage in such actions that go against the principles of cause and effect in cultivation.
Second, someone has proposed that only those who have passed the examination of the Dharma can respectfully listen to and read all the Dharma teachings, including the Buddha's teachings and scriptures. This is extremely absurd, foolish, and ignorant, and it is a demonic and evil view. Everyone must understand a simple yet important concept, which is that the Buddha's supreme enlightenment surpasses everything, the Buddha's wisdom surpasses everything, and the Buddha's insight surpasses everything. It is beyond the reach of bodhisattvas and arhats. What the Buddha has decided is correct. Which examination can surpass the Buddha's own decision? Therefore, Nanwu Qiangfo's Buddhist scriptures and teachings are absolutely correct and flawless. Who can surpass the Buddha and make decisions on the Buddha's teachings and cognitive determinations? Are there beings in the universe who are superior to the Buddha? It is truly pitiful! As for the scriptures of Shakyamuni Buddha, if they have been verified by Nanwu Qiangfo as correct, they have not been tampered with by the demonic offspring of the demon king. Is there still a need for examination? As for the Buddha's agreement with the holy virtuous ones to make decisions, it is only to distinguish between right and wrong, to broaden everyone's horizons, and to understand the incredible and supreme greatness of the Buddha's teachings! Those who believe that the Buddha's teachings need to be examined are ignorant fools.
