Answer 16:
Why do people with the title of Guru Rinpoche oppose the regulations of the Inner Secret Temple? Because they are false saints. In this world, there are gurus and living Buddhas with the titles of Guru Rinpoche who are accustomed to claiming that they can perform inner secret empowerments and distinguish between inner and outer secret temple grounds. However, when the regulations of the true inner secret temple were announced to the Buddhist community, their lies were all exposed, so they became extremely resentful. The reason is that out of the ten thousand gurus and living Buddhas who claim to have inner secret temple grounds, almost nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine of them are false inner secret temple grounds! False inner secret empowerments! Why are there many living Buddhas in Tibet in the past who achieved the rainbow body, but none have been found in recent decades? No one can deny this fact, right? It's because there are no inner secret temple grounds now, so they cannot perform inner secret empowerments and have lost the power of the sacred altar. Therefore, the transmission of the teachings cannot connect to the original lineage, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not accept empowerments that are not performed in a true inner secret temple ground. The current false living Buddhas are everywhere, and they have not received the great empowerment of the true inner secret empowerments. Just think, if they could perform true inner secret empowerments, they would definitely be great saints, as great saints and Bodhisattvas can transform a piece of paper written by you into a flying rainbow. Isn't it obvious that they are not saints? They can only speak empty words, but are they actually ordinary beings? And if they cannot even transform a piece of paper into a rainbow, or even dare not do it, are they great saints? Are great Bodhisattvas incapable of dealing with a piece of paper? We haven't even asked them to return the written document to demonstrate their great Bodhisattva's attainment and burn the written document in front of everyone. Please let the Bodhisattva give the written document to the disciple who is sleeping. It is amazing that after the disciple wakes up, they will be holding the burned and restored written document. By having this document, they will receive the "Empowerment of the Sacred Connection of the Original Buddha" of the highest level of inner secret empowerment, and from then on, they will interact with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas at all times. The three vajra staffs are used to examine the physical condition of male gurus. Only those with poor health and lack of physical strength cannot ascend to the "Earth Staff" or "Heaven Staff," and those without sufficient spiritual attainments cannot ascend to the "Dharma Staff." Furthermore, only those who possess one hundred percent of the small holy virtues can perform the "Offering a Document to the Bodhisattva" ceremony. They also lack the spiritual attainments to command the miraculous transformation of the vajra pill in the disciple's hand from a distance. Think carefully, how can these false saints, who lack spiritual attainments, cover up their deceitful nature without opposing the establishment of the inner secret temple? Would he admit to you that his physical condition is deteriorating and he lacks the physical strength to "ascend the three vajra staffs"? Would he admit that he cannot complete the "Offering a Document to the Bodhisattva" ceremony? Is he a false saint? Would he admit that he is impersonating a saint and deceiving everyone? He can only oppose the regulations of the true teachings to cover up his true nature as an ordinary fraud. Therefore, false saints who only have a false reputation and lack spiritual attainments will definitely oppose it.
