Answer Thirteen:
Namo Third Dharma King Dorje Chang Buddha There is no secret inner temple. Currently, there is no inner temple in the United States that meets the two major regulations. As far as we know, the Fourth Dharma King Dorje Chang, Wangzha Rinpoche, and four other great holy beings with four golden buttons can perform authentic inner secret empowerments. However, there is currently no inner temple built in the United States or China. We have not heard of any other sect's Dharma King successfully building a truly compliant inner temple. Since there is no inner temple now, true inner secret empowerments cannot be performed. In short, any Dharma King or venerable who does not have the ability to perform true inner secret empowerments with less than four golden buttons cannot do so in a compliant inner temple. Some Buddhist disciples say, "I'm not stupid! I am learning Buddhism, not seeking inner secret empowerments. Namo Third Dharma King Dorje Chang Buddha has said that there are many Dharma methods in Buddhism that can lead to attainment. I can achieve attainment through other Dharma methods." What this disciple said is correct, but you only know one aspect and not the other. It is true that any other Buddhist Dharma can lead to attainment. However, you have forgotten **the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, which state that to achieve liberation, one must go through three asamkhyeya kalpas and must also practice the six perfections extensively to attain. Only by receiving inner secret empowerments can one learn the great Dharma that leads to attainment in the seventh life, third life, or even in this life, and even witness the attainment of the Buddha and Bodhisattva. No other Buddhist practice can achieve this except for the practice of inner secret empowerments. Other Dharma methods require going through three asamkhyeya kalpas and practicing the six perfections extensively, which takes 3.84 billion years to achieve. If the practice of the six perfections is not in accordance with the Dharma, one still cannot attain. Do you understand? Do you still think you are not stupid? Let me make it clear to you, other than inner secret empowerments, there is no other way to achieve realization and witness the sacred. As for Namo Third Dharma King Dorje Chang Buddha saying that all sects are equal, it is because He is the Buddha of Buddhism, not a sectarian religion. Is a bowl of water not level in the hands of the Buddha? Can it be said that one sect is higher or lower? Faster or slower? If Wangzha Rinpoche does not receive the inner secret empowerments from Dorje Chang Buddha, he cannot attain the level of the three golden buttons! Wangzha Rinpoche announced last year that he plans to publicly build an inner temple in the United States that complies with the two major regulations. However, there is not a 100% certainty on the "Offering a Buddha One List" yet. But in case such a situation arises, he will respectfully invite the four golden button Jade Venerable to assist in building the temple for the "Offering a Buddha One List". You are right, every time Wangzha Rinpoche receives high monks and great virtuous ones, the image they see of him is completely different each time. Moreover, Rinpoche once used a finger to perform a fire ritual and removed obstacles for the abbot of the Golden Throne Monastery, Zaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche. The heat from the finger burned Zaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche. Rinpoche also touched the head of the abbot of Macang Monastery, Songjie Living Buddha, with his palm, and Songjie Living Buddha's head immediately emitted auspicious light. Even the Dharma Lord Muzhi was defeated by Rinpoche's fire ritual. Rinpoche's cultivation is extremely profound, and there is no problem in building an inner temple.
