Explanation of the Three Letters Published by the International Buddhist Sangha Association in the Newspaper#
Why did the International Buddhist Sangha Association publish these three letters to Sakya Tianjin Dharma King as advertisements? The reason is that our association is true, bright, and selfless. We seek the truth for the benefit of all sentient beings. We have sent these three letters to Sakya Tianjin Dharma King, and the third letter was officially sent to him through the court as a certified letter. However, until today, the Dharma King has not replied to any of our letters, and his disciples have spread rumors in society, violating the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha by telling lies and false statements. They claim that the Sakya Tianjin Dharma King said he did not certify the Third Dharma King. In fact, the Dharma King has never personally stated that he did not certify it, including our request for certification through the certified letter, which the Dharma King did not reply to. The purpose of our letters is only one: to selflessly ensure the benefit of all sentient beings and seek an answer. We want to know whether the Dharma King has written a certification or not, and we want the public to know the truth. However, the Sakya Tianjin Dharma King received the certified letter from the court on July 18, 2012, which was our final letter, but the Dharma King still did not reply.
The International Buddhist Sangha Association is honest and selfless, and we have done our utmost. If the Sakya Tianjin Dharma King claims that he did not write it, then please stay in Taiwan. It will only take half a day for us and the Dharma King to go to the temple together and make an equal oath. The Dharma King should not leave without daring to take the oath. We should face the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with fairness and purity. If the Dharma King refuses to take the oath and leaves Taiwan, it will prove the truth: the Dharma King has written a certification for the Third Dharma King, but he dares not take the oath in front of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The oath process will be recorded and published worldwide, allowing people to judge who is telling the truth and who is lying! This oath is a matter of principle, not a matter of right or wrong. Everything is for the benefit of sentient beings!

Translation of the First Letter from the International Buddhist Sangha Association to Sakya Tianjin#
Respected Sakya Tianjin Dharma King, may the Dharma be with you!
Today, as an international Buddhist organization with over 10,000 temples, associations, and centers, all of our members are Buddhist disciples. Therefore, we understand that the Dharma King's time is precious and should be used for teaching the Dharma. However, this matter not only involves national laws but also the lives of countless sentient beings in the world. Therefore, we hope and believe that for the sake of sentient beings, the Dharma King can provide a timely response.
The certification letter that the Dharma King wrote to the Third Dharma King in December 2006 was passed on to Geng Sangrenzhuo Rinpoche by Bai Duorenboche (also known as Junmai Baima Doje Rinpoche, editor's note), and then passed on to our association. The Third Dharma King was not involved in this matter. Later, this certification letter was provided by our association and published in the book "The Third Dharma King." This was an act of benefiting sentient beings. However, with the continuous controversies, it started with the Dharma King's individual disciples denying that the Dharma King wrote this certification letter. Then a Khenpo named Chu Chengqupei posted a message on the internet claiming that he wrote the certification letter himself. In fact, neither the Third Dharma King nor we know this person named Chu Chengqupei. Up to now, due to the malicious slander of the Dalai Lama's Tibetan Religious Foundation, many organizations in Taiwan have filed criminal and civil lawsuits against the foundation. Of course, the plaintiffs believe that the Dharma King wrote this certification letter and have not sued the Dharma King because they have not seen the Dharma King personally deny it.
Whether this certification letter was personally made and signed by the Dharma King and handed over to Junmai Baima Doje Rinpoche, the Dharma King knows better than anyone else. Because on the day of the handover of the certification letter, there were not only one person present but several people. We also have solid evidence, and the International Buddhist Sangha Association has publicly declared the whole process of this matter as early as 2008, but the Dharma King has not made a statement. Today, we formally request the Dharma King to give a clear answer to our International Buddhist Sangha Association and to all sentient beings: Did the Dharma King personally sign, seal, and hand over the certification letter certifying the Third Dharma King?
If the Dharma King's answer is affirmative, then everything will be resolved easily. If the Dharma King's answer is negative, then everything will have to return to the paths of the Dharma and the law. The handprints left by the Dharma King on the certification letter and the envelope, including witnesses and other evidence, can be scientifically examined. If it is proven to be done by the Dharma King but not acknowledged, it would be worse than an ordinary person. The leader of the Sakya sect and the Dharma will be tainted in the hands of the Dharma King.
First of all, it is easy to determine whether this certification letter is true or false. We believe in the law of cause and effect and entrust the merits and demerits to all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors, as well as all parties involved in the incident. According to the rules of Buddhism, the monks will take an oath on the spot after practicing the Dharma, with unified oath content and equal treatment: If anyone tells lies and takes a false oath, they and their families will suffer from the retribution of falling into the hell of Avici and will not be reborn. If they tell the truth and take a true oath, they and their families will receive great merits and liberation. The entire oath process will be recorded and publicly broadcasted by international media, allowing everyone to witness this cause and effect. If someone dares not take the oath, it fully proves that the person is telling lies and is a fraud. In fact, the Third Dharma King has already publicly taken an oath and published it in the newspaper, but He said that He can take the oath again at any time.
Secondly, we have preserved the original certification letter signed and sealed by the Dharma King, as well as other evidence and testimonies from witnesses at that time. Modern high-tech methods can completely determine whose handwriting this certification letter is, whether it was personally written and signed by the Dharma King or written by someone else, as well as the origin of the paper, the ink used, and whether there are fingerprints of the Dharma King and others. At that time, the truth will be revealed, and the court will tell the world whether this certification letter was made by the Dharma King or forged by Chu Chengqupei, or whether the person who received the certification letter from the Dharma King is deceiving people.
We reiterate that the International Buddhist Sangha Association has shown enough respect to the Dharma King, but for the fundamental benefit of countless sentient beings, we must clarify whether the Dharma King wrote the certification letter for the Third Dharma King and give an explanation to the court, the public, and all sentient beings. Did the International Buddhist Sangha Association receive the certification letter written by the Dharma King for the Third Dharma King? Who is fabricating evidence? There is no retreat here because no one can escape the judgment of cause and effect. This is the reason why we are writing to the Dharma King for the third time today, with the aim of giving the public an explanation of who the ordinary fraudster is, whether it is you, the Dharma King, or Chu Chengqupei, or our International Buddhist Sangha Association. Everyone should accept the test of the truth equally. However, the Dharma King dares not reply to our letters to confirm or deny, dares not verify and judge through the court, and dares not make a joint oath in the temple. He only remains silent. But recently, the Dharma King's disciples have spread rumors and lies on the internet, which confuses people. If the truth is not revealed, people will suffer and be distressed. Please understand, Dharma King, and for the sake of sentient beings, speak the truth! The Dharma King must understand that the truth will be revealed sooner or later.
Best regards,
International Buddhist Sangha Association
Translation of the Second Letter from the International Buddhist Sangha Association to Sakya Tianjin#
Respected Sakya Tianjin Dharma King, may the Dharma be with you!
As early as May 1st and June 3rd of this year, the International Buddhist Sangha Association has already sent two letters to the Dharma King. Copies of the letters were sent via email to [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. The original letters were sent by FEDEX to SAKYA DOLMA PHODRANG at 192 RAJPUR ROAD, P.O. RAJPUR 248009, DEHRADUN, U.K. INDIA. Unfortunately, until today, we have not received any response from the Dharma King. As we mentioned in the previous letters, this matter not only involves national laws but also the lives of countless sentient beings. Therefore, we hope and believe that, despite being busy, for the sake of sentient beings, the Dharma King will respond to us clearly.
If the Dharma King does not have time to reply to our letters, we will wait for the Dharma King's arrival in Taipei on June 12th. Our lawyer will provide evidence through legal procedures and submit it to the court. If the Dharma King tells lies, he will bear the consequences. Because the malicious slander and defamation of the Third Dharma King by the Dalai Lama's Tibetan Religious Foundation has led to 260 criminal and civil cases filed by members of our association. The Dharma King is an important witness in these cases because he is the one who directly wrote the certification letter. At the same time, we will hold an equal oath with the Dharma King in the temples in Taiwan. The temple can be chosen by the Dharma King, but the oath must follow the content of the previous letter, which must be public, equal, and truthful. The entire oath process will be recorded and made public by international media. Those who dare not take the oath will be proven to be liars! Furthermore, if we do not receive a response from the Dharma King before June 12th, we will make these two letters public on the internet.
The International Buddhist Sangha Association has shown enough respect to the Dharma King, but for the fundamental benefit of countless sentient beings, we must clarify whether the Dharma King wrote the certification letter for the Third Dharma King and give an explanation to the court, the public, and all sentient beings.

Translation of the Third Letter from the International Buddhist Sangha Association to Sakya Tianjin#
Respected Sakya Tianjin Dharma King, may the Dharma be with you!

However, until today, we have not received any response from the Dharma King. As we mentioned in the previous letters, this matter not only involves national laws but also the lives of countless sentient beings who are distressed by it. Therefore, we hope and believe that, despite being busy, for the sake of sentient beings, the Dharma King will respond to us clearly.
We have already written to the Dharma King once, twice, and now three times, not to ask the Dharma King to admit writing this certification letter, but to ask the Dharma King to speak the truth openly: Did the Dharma King write the certification letter or not? The purpose of speaking the truth is to relieve countless sentient beings from distress! Because it was our International Buddhist Sangha Association that received the certification letter, and we also received evidence and video tapes from the person who received the certification letter directly from the Dharma King. He is the one who received the certification letter from the Dharma King, not Chu Chengqupei. There were witnesses who saw them take a solemn oath during the certification process. Therefore, this certification letter was not forged by Chu Chengqupei. It must be clarified whether this certification letter was made by the Dharma King or forged by Chu Chengqupei. This is truly being responsible for sentient beings and truly relieving them from distress! In this matter, we cannot be wrong about cause and effect!
As we mentioned in the first letter, if the Dharma King's answer is affirmative, that the Dharma King wrote the certification letter for the Third Dharma King, then everything will be resolved easily. If the Dharma King's answer is negative, then everything will have to return to the paths of the Dharma and the law. The handprints left by the Dharma King on the certification letter and the envelope, including witnesses and other evidence, can be scientifically examined.

The leader of the Sakya sect and the Dharma will be tainted in the hands of the Dharma King. If it is proven that it was not written by the Dharma King but forged by Chu Chengqupei or others, then the truth will be revealed, and the true fraudster will be exposed to prevent sentient beings from being deceived.
