Translated from an article published online in Chinese at: https://greatbodhicitta.wordpress.com/2018/03/02/%E3%80%90%E8%BD%AC%E5%8F%91%E6%96%87%E7%AB%A0%E3%80%91-%E7%9C%9F%E5%BF%83%E8%AF%9A%E6%84%8F%E8%B7%9F%E9%9A%8F%E7%BE%8C%E4%BD%9B%E4%BD%93%E5%AD%A6%E5%8F%97%E7%94%A8%E6%98%AF%E4%BD%95%E7%AD%89%E9%87%8D/
In the new year of 2018, some Buddhist disciples who truly cultivate themselves and learn from Buddha went to pay homage to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Because the time coincided with the celebration of the Spring Festival, starting from the day of the Chinese New Year, they followed H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III on a tour to a location with karmic conditions. His Holiness the Buddha expounded two sessions of rare dharmas to them. Gelan Deqian Shile Yu Zun, Wang Zha Shang Zun, and Venerable Mo Zhi said, “According to the karmic conditions with the dharma, Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya Bodhisattva listened to the dharma expounded by Dipamkara Buddha together in the past. Sakyamuni Buddha attained Buddhahood ahead of time due to listening to the dharma for one more day and one more night. Then, since these Buddhist disciples in the entourage have heard the profound Buddha-dharma expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, what is the impact to their affinities with the dharma and accomplishment?”
For this matter, a special quick and immediate test for the annual examination was held. The results from the holy test concluded: Those who followed H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III on the tour and listened to the dharmas expounded by His Holiness the Buddha have had their cultivated accomplishment go up and their grade levels generally rose by a black button; on the other hand, those who did not listen to these two sessions of Buddha-dharma had their grade levels paused in the annual examination and some even receded the attained accomplishment and had their grade levels lowered. This incident is awakening to us Buddhists: How important it is to follow H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to learn, comprehend, and benefit with a genuine and sincere mind!
Wang Zha Shang Zun said when He received us, “Of course, it also depends on what dharmas were expounded by His Holiness the Buddha. These dharmas expounded by His Holiness the Buddha are profound great dharmas. Those who do not possess the good fortune won’t be able to listen to them. These dharmas are supremely precious and marvelous and can enable one to attain true realization and manifestation. I can only say that those who follow His Holiness the Buddha with a genuine and sincere mind have supreme good fortune.”
Because people who did not follow His Holiness the Buddha on the trip have no karmic affinity to listen to the dharmas expounded, there are no audio recordings.
