Description:This announcement that is being disseminated contains the great Dharma of zen (dhyana in Sanskrit but generally known as zen) practice that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III taught a group of cultivators in March of 2013 in the Hall of the Three Holy Ones at Bodhi Monastery in the United States. Today is December 4, 2013. We now for the first time formally publish this great Dharma on the internet.Today H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III performed an initiation and transmission involving necessary mantras in the practice of zen. Additionally, this great Dharma enables everyone to understand what the standard, proper practice of zen actually is. All of you will now be able to understand what the levels of those zen practice Dharmas you encountered before this announcement actually are and whether such Dharmas are correct. This great Dharma will enable you to know whether those masters who teach you are qualified to give discourses on the Dharma. Are those masters clear about what the practice of zen is? Are they clear about what zen practice is in the entirety of the Buddha Dharma? If one does not even understand zen practice, can one understand the Buddha Dharma? If one does not understand zen practice, one of course does not understand the meaning of zen. One also does not understand the meaning of samadhi. Thus, just the fact that one does not understand the meaning of zen practice shows that one does not understand Buddhism at all. Correspondingly, it shows that one also does not understand the Buddha Dharma.Therefore, when a group of masters entreated H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to let them give discourses on the Dharma to their disciples, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said the following: Anyone who is a qualified master may give discourses on the Dharma as long as he or she truly understands Buddha Dharma and transmits Dharma according to the teachings. However, those who recklessly expound Buddha Dharma are certainly not qualified to give discourses on the Dharma. Therefore, masters must pass a test. Only then may they give discourses on the Dharma. Otherwise, one is not qualified to give discourses on the Dharma no matter what one’s status may be. That is because giving discourses without understanding Buddhism and Buddha Dharma is undoubtedly an act of deceiving the public. Thus, people who do not understand Buddha Dharma are not allowed to give discourses on the Dharma. That is because the concept of discourses on the Dharma means that those Buddhists who listen to the discourses have to receive them as being the truth. If what they are receiving is evil karma, then their wisdom-roots will be destroyed.This not only applies to not understanding the practice of zen. It applies to other problematic aspects, such as misunderstanding the sutras. All of these seriously harm the interests of living beings or even mislead practitioners. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III will not approve of any words or actions that harm or destroy the interests of living beings. With respect to anyone who pretends to understand but who truly does not understand yet who still wants to give so-called discourses on the Dharma, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has said that He has no right to control everyone. However, those who give erroneous discourses on the Dharma will be unable to bear the ensuing karmic consequences. That is because the karmic hindrance produced from the sin of defiling the minds of living beings for millions of eons is passed on to those people who listen to the erroneous discourses....We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
