Recently, there have been circulating recordings of the Dharma teachings of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche without his seal. In this regard, the Office of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche hereby issues the following announcement:
First, any recordings of the Dharma teachings of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche without his seal are not the original teachings of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche. They have likely been edited by individuals with ulterior motives, selectively removing unfavorable parts and distorting the teachings, causing harm to sentient beings. Therefore, they do not represent the teachings and instructions of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche.
Second, anyone who spreads recordings of the Dharma teachings of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche without his seal, regardless of their identity as a spiritual leader, venerable, Rinpoche, Lama, or disciple, is considered a demonic teacher or disciple who goes against the teachings and violates the regulations regarding the dissemination of Dharma teachings. Such individuals are causing harm to sentient beings. All those who engage in such actions will not be granted the transmission of the teachings. This is the karmic consequence that evil individuals who harm the public bring upon themselves. We urge everyone to report and expose such individuals in order to recognize their true nature.
Third, those who have already committed such actions must immediately confess and repent. By adhering to the original teachings of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche and avoiding the 128 evil views and wrong views, one can transform from evil to good and cultivate great virtues.
This announcement is hereby made.
Office of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche
