"Extreme Holy Liberation Seal"#
Since the descent of the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche, various Buddhist teachings of different sects and levels have been taught in Tibet, China, and the Western world due to various circumstances. However, regarding the most sacred Buddhist teaching transmitted by the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche in this lifetime, the "Extreme Holy Liberation Seal" (referred to as the "Liberation Seal" for short), although some fortunate practitioners have already begun to study and achieve great accomplishments in certain parts of the Liberation Seal, the majority of sentient beings still have no opportunity to come into contact with the Liberation Seal. In the Dharma-ending age, demonic charlatans run rampant, and ordinary beings pretending to be holy infiltrate Buddhism, deceiving kind-hearted people. In order to alleviate the difficulties of sentient beings seeking the Dharma, the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche, with the enlightened wisdom of the primordial Buddha, transmitted the Dodrupchen Rinpoche lineage to Amitabha Buddha and other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in their practice stages, manifesting it to all sentient beings in the world. Today, the merits and wisdom of human beings have finally ripened, and the highest and supreme practice of the practice section in the Liberation Seal, "The Essence of the Extraordinary Ocean of Accomplishment" and "The Essence of the Supreme Bodhi's Empty Conduct Ocean," can finally be openly revealed, for all virtuous men and women to study, practice, and achieve perfect merits and wisdom. For this, we are infinitely grateful for the blessings of the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche and all the Buddhas of the ten directions!
It must be clarified that "The Essence of the Extraordinary Ocean of Accomplishment" and "The Essence of the Supreme Bodhi's Empty Conduct Ocean" are not the complete rituals of the Liberation Seal, but only the practice section within the Liberation Seal. As for the practice methods in the Liberation Seal, they will be transmitted when the circumstances are ripe. However, everyone should understand that without studying and practicing these two supreme and highest practices, it is impossible to receive the transmission of the practice methods, not even a tenth of a chance. Even if one receives an empowerment, there will be no benefit, because the practice methods of the Liberation Seal, and even the accomplishment of any Buddhist teachings, depend on actual practice, especially relying on the practice of these two supreme practices. The Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche said that the purpose of all his actions and his aspiration is based on these three supreme practices, especially these two practices. Regardless of who it is, as long as one relies on practice and acts truthfully, one will definitely become virtuous. All the people in the world and other sentient beings will be auspicious, happy, and forever prosperous!!!
There were some people who did not understand before and thought that the Liberation Seal was a secret teaching. In fact, this is completely wrong. Because the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche is the incarnation of a Buddha, and the Buddha points out the path to liberation for all sentient beings. Therefore, the Liberation Seal is not a secret teaching, nor an exoteric teaching, not Mahayana, nor Hinayana. However, whether you are from the Tang Dynasty, the Tibetan tradition, or the Eastern tradition, whether you are from the Chan school or the Pure Land school, whether you are from the Yogacara school or a Theravada Buddhist, or any other religion, as long as you are a person who does good deeds and benefits others, you can rely on the Liberation Seal to study, practice, and benefit others, and achieve swift liberation. As the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche said, "The sects of Buddhism were formed by individual patriarchs. Think about it, which sect did Shakyamuni Buddha belong to? He did not belong to any sect, but to Buddhism." Therefore, the Liberation Seal belongs to the entire Buddhism and is the highest and supreme teaching in Buddhism.
The Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche specifically pointed out regarding the Liberation Seal: Although the Liberation Seal is the highest of the highest, the supreme of the supreme, and the essence of the essence, its birth is for the benefit of sentient beings. Therefore, it is explicitly stated that the dissemination and promotion of the Liberation Seal will not require any offerings from everyone. The only requirement is to truly benefit sentient beings, achieve perfect merits and wisdom, and realize enlightenment as soon as possible!
It should also be noted that when studying the complete ritual of the "Extreme Holy Liberation Seal," one must first understand and read the "The Essential Teachings That Must Be Fully Understood for Practicing the Liberation Seal," co-authored by Khenpo Rinpoche and Loden Zangpo Rinpoche, in order to establish correct views and engage in practice.
To all practitioners, if you can spread and promote the "Extreme Holy Liberation Seal" through various means such as the internet, benefiting everyone and making everyone virtuous, this will be a virtuous act with supreme merits. Those who possess great merits will inevitably attain realization and benefit from practice in this lifetime.
