Answer 26:
You are inquiring about whether the secret inner temple established by certain individuals, certain Dharma Kings, certain venerables, and certain Dharma masters is real. First of all, we will not fulfill your wish. Please refer to our public announcement. Asking this question already indicates ignorance, which shows that you have not read the announcement. The individuals you mentioned are not even at the level of a holy monk who has achieved the Golden Button. They are still at the level of a Blue Button at most, and can only be called great monks. They are not great bodhisattvas and do not possess the necessary cultivation to establish a secret inner temple. They are also unable to perform authentic secret inner empowerment for disciples. Let us make it clear that even among 100,000 living Buddhas, 1,000 great monks, and 100 holy monks, it may be difficult to find one who is capable of establishing a genuine secret inner temple. Otherwise, there would already be secret inner temples in countries such as the United States, China, India, etc. Although the teachers you mentioned may have some fame, their level of cultivation is still far from being able to establish a secret inner temple or perform authentic secret inner empowerment for disciples. This is because it is very difficult for them to invite Buddhas and bodhisattvas to descend, and some of them may not even be able to perform the exoteric and esoteric empowerments perfectly. You still cannot understand what we are telling you. Let us put it this way: some of the individuals you mentioned are present in the video recording of the "Rare Appearance of True Buddha Dharma in a Thousand Years." When they see how powerful Venerable Muzhi is, they are defeated and retreat. Even one of the individuals you mentioned who holds the title of a crown venerable living Buddha is actually an ordinary person and is too scared to enter the scene. This is how powerful Venerable Muzhi is. He cannot even establish a secret inner temple and can only borrow an inner altar to perform secret inner empowerment. Compared to Venerable Muzhi, what are those well-known figures you mentioned? They are far behind!
