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

On the Day of January 29 of the Lunar year (March 16, 2018)

Answer No. 29

Since you know that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have great love and great compassion, of course Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will take up the responsibility regarding cultivation and dharma practice. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas classify both Buddha-dharma and cultivation into two types of worldly and holy. Even for the same dharma or cultivation, after a decision by selection, if the yidam did not arrive to approve, the dharma or cultivation is worldly. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not responsible for worldly dharmas and cultivations and only bear responsibility for holy dharmas and cultivations that have been approved by a decision by selection. All holy dharmas and cultivations cannot be changed by even one sentence. If there is any change or alteration, the yidam will not be responsible for that. That dharma or cultivation will immediately become a worldly dharma or cultivation and may even become an evil dharma.
