Response from the Inquiry Center of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters to Questions Raised by Inquirers

Answer No. 18
One who has the cultivated accomplishment at the level of Golden Button Grade 1 or Golden Button Grade 2 is still at the risk of receding from the attained accomplishment if not cultivating oneself earnestly. For example, Dharma King Gar Tongstan once receded from the status of Jiao Zun at the level of Golden Button Grade 2 to a Ru Zun. This year, he made his own decision to choose H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III as the yidam of his dharma practice. Now he has once again attained the level of Golden Button Grade 2. Even so, the circumstance is just as the forecast made in a letter dated July 16, 2016 that Dharma King Gar Tongstan wrote to the planning and preparation committee of the Juexing Temple in Taiwan. Why did Dharma King Gar Tongstan reply in writing that he could not serve as the abbot of the Juexing Temple in Taiwan? This was because he does not have such a karmic condition. Dharma King Gar Tongstan is able to clearly know the arising and generation of the karmic conditions related to his accomplishment regarding birth and death. That entails a guarantee given to you from true Buddha-dharma.
There is another Jiao Zun who also receded from the level of Golden Button Grade 2 to the status of Ru Zun at the level of Golden Button Grade 1. He chose Sakyamuni Buddha as the yidam and truly practiced the “Most Excellent Enlightenment Emptiness-Practice Oceanic Mind Essence.” Now he has returned to the cultivated accomplishment at the level of Golden Button Grade 2.
Additionally, Kai Chu Ru Zun decided on his own to choose “the Dharma of the Ritual of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III” as his yidam plus practicing the “Xiaman Most Excellent Oceanic Mind Essence.” His cultivated power of Tummo has been strengthened and he has now realized the cultivated accomplishment at the level of Golden Button Grade 2. His situation will be different from that of Dharma King Gar Tongstan. Even when many of the people who are much younger than him are no longer in this world, he will still be lively with his beneficent Master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Other than true Buddha-dharma, what ability can enable one to know so clearly? You are stupid and can only meet the outcome to be deluded by evils and fraud!
