Recently, some people have reported to the office that Shangri-La and Dragon Boat, two Rinpoche, said that their temple was given a name confirmed by the third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha. They asked if the Buddha gave their temple a name after they reported it. Why didn't he give our temple a name?
In fact, this statement is incorrect because the third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha does not give any temple a name, let alone give a name to any Dharma center. So far, no one has been certified as a living Buddha or Rinpoche. The fact of the matter is that Shangri-La and Dragon Boat Rinpoche came to the office, reported the situation of their temple, and showed a photo of a tower-shaped cloud, asking the third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha to name the temple. The third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha refused them on the spot and did not give them a name. After their repeated requests, the third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha said, "You choose a suitable name for yourselves, and after you have built the temple, I will write a dedication for you." This is the truth.
According to Rinpoche Dragon Boat, when they signed the contract to purchase the temple site, they saw a pagoda appearing above the temple. Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared on the pagoda in a dynamic image, clearly showing the complete body, face, eyebrows, and eyes of Guanyin Bodhisattva, extremely solemn! However, due to excitement, they hurriedly paid their respects and did not have time to take photos. When they came back to their senses and took photos, the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva had almost disappeared, but they could still vaguely see the approximate image standing on the pagoda. This is the situation that Dragon Boat and Shangri-La Rinpoche introduced with the photo. The third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha said: "You should consider this as a very good affinity."
Our office did not witness the actual situation at that time. The third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha said, "No matter what temple it is, as long as you refrain from doing evil and practice good, it is good." The office must point out that if one does not respectfully listen to the Dharma voice of the third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, does not rely on the sutras of Shakyamuni Buddha, and does not conform to the confirmation of the 128 views, and yet claims to promote the true Dharma of the Tathagata, it is inevitable to fall into evil views and wrong views. No matter how high one's position is, they are not legitimate Buddhists. We hope that this temple can truly follow the teachings, promote the true Dharma of the Tathagata, and benefit sentient beings in the six realms.
