聯合國際世界佛教總部 (公告字第20150105號) 段位一樣，差距很大 關於段位相同，道行功德是否都同等大小？這個問題有很多人來諮詢聯合國際世界佛教總部，認為二段就是比一段高，三段就是比二段高。其實，這裡面有一個模糊地帶，如果認為有功夫外用力的人就是大聖者，其實說不定此人是一個佛教外行。常規來說，要到證量功夫三段才有外力的起用，但也有例外的，那必須是前世善根級位比今世目前的級位證量高，由於今世修持把三段退成了二段，此類性質也有外力起用的可能性存在。如果是經教考上的三段或行持德品所考取的三段，由於不屬於功夫所考上的三段，因此也不會外力起用，但是行持德品和經教論學、知見正邪比證量功夫所考上的三段更具功德善根資質。
