Answer 18:
The achievement of the first or second stage of the Golden Button is at risk of retreating if one does not practice diligently. For example, His Holiness Ludongzan Rinpoche once retreated from the second stage of the Golden Button to the stage of a child practitioner. This year, he chose the Third Dajieqiang Buddha as his main deity for practice and achieved the second stage of the Golden Button. However, just like the prophecy in a letter from His Holiness Ludongzan Rinpoche to the Preparatory Committee for the Construction of the Jue Xing Temple in Taiwan on July 16, 2015, His Holiness Ludongzan Rinpoche replied in writing why he could not serve as the abbot of the Jue Xing Temple in Taiwan, because he no longer had the karmic affinity for it. His Holiness Ludongzan Rinpoche has gained clear understanding of the origin and birth of life and death achievements, which is the true guarantee of Buddhism to all of you. There is another Holy Monk who also retreated from the second stage of the Golden Button to the stage of a child practitioner. He chose Shakyamuni Buddha as his main deity and practiced the "Supreme Bodhi Empty Practice Ocean Heart Marrow." Now he has returned to the second stage of the Golden Button. In addition, the child practitioner initially chose the "Third Dajieqiang Buddha Ritual" as his main deity and practiced the "Extraordinary Ocean Heart Marrow." His spiritual power has strengthened, and he has now achieved the second stage of the Golden Button. Unlike His Holiness Ludongzan Rinpoche, he will wait until many people much younger than him are no longer around. He is still alive and well by the side of his compassionate teacher, the Qiang Buddha. Besides the true Buddhism, what ability do you have to know things so clearly? You are foolish and ignorant! You are only deceived and confused by evil!
