Answer 6:
Namo the Third Dharma King, Dorje Chang Buddha III. From this life until now, I have vowed to practice and serve everyone without accepting any offerings or setting up a merit box. This is something that everyone has seen and is well-known. Some pitiful people say, "The Buddha Dharma of Dorje Chang is so good. Since it is so good, why do some people who have studied with Him at the level of a guru betray and oppose Dorje Chang Buddha III? There have been several traitors." In fact, those who have such thoughts are truly ignorant!! They are so pitiful!! Let me remind you today, if there are no traitors who deceive their teachers and betray their ancestors in the Dharma of Tathagata, it means that this Dharma is absolutely not the true Dharma of Tathagata, but a group of evil teachers and swindlers!!! Because the precepts and teachings of the true Dharma of Tathagata require those who become gurus to abide by the teachings and practice actions that bring absolute benefits to sentient beings. However, the purpose of bad people and swindlers who learn Buddhism is exactly the opposite. Bad people and swindlers as gurus will never accept the constraints of the true Dharma!!! The reason is very simple. Their purpose is to gather people through Buddhism, making it convenient to deceive Buddhist disciples for their livelihood. Once they discover certain regulations in the true Dharma that will expose their deceitful and demonic nature, they will betray. For example, exams, especially the requirement for annual review in the second year. Once they violate the precepts, they will definitely fail the exam and the disciples under their guidance will definitely choose another guru. They are very worried and afraid. At this time, the only choice is to immediately resort to betrayal by slandering the Buddha, the Dharma, and the guru in order to cover up their deceitful actions. This is the best way to avoid the annual review, so choosing to leave the true Dharma and become a traitor is the only path for swindlers and evil gurus. The same applies to the disciples who betrayed Dorje Chang Buddha III. There are even more disciples who betrayed Shakyamuni Buddha, such as Shan Xing, Ma Qiu, and other monks. On the contrary, only in places where the true Dharma of Tathagata is absent, will the interests of deceitful and evil groups be tied together, and there will be no traitors. Because of their common interests, they will turn a blind eye to each other and never consider whether the practitioners are being deceived. Such deceitful groups will never issue announcements to help disciples recognize false gurus and evil gurus. This way, the true details of their deceitful actions will not be exposed. Only when it is not the true Dharma of Tathagata does it conform to the fraudulent purposes of evil gurus and swindlers, and of course, there will be no traitors. Look, only the office of Dorje Chang Buddha III and the true Dharma institutions such as the World Buddhist Headquarters issue announcements everywhere to help Buddhist disciples recognize false gurus and evil gurus. Only Dorje Chang Buddha III will speak of the 128 views to help practitioners avoid going astray. For the gurus of evil swindlers, this is such a strong hostility, isn't it? If the evil ones do not resort to betrayal in order to protect their deceitful interests, then that would be abnormal.
