It Is Time to Truly Wake Up

It Is Time to Truly Wake Up

It Is Time to Truly Wake Up

After respectfully listening to the Dharma discourse “Focusing Primarily on Cultivating One’s Own Dharma and Conduct” imparted by Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, I came to a profound realization: It is time to truly wake up!

I am deeply grateful for the blessings of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!

Although I had listened to this Dharma discourse before, it seemed to have left almost no impression on me. Just as my Buddha Master said, it went in one ear and out the other. As soon as I finished listening, I forgot what I had heard. The teachings neither entered my mind nor touched my heart. I am truly ashamed of myself.

After listening to this Dharma discourse again, I came to understand more deeply the preciousness of Buddha Dharma, the true meaning of liberation, and how I should make use of my limited lifetime.

First, we must understand that Buddha Dharma is extremely precious and difficult to encounter. Why? Because only Buddha Dharma can enable us to end the cycle of birth and death and transcend the six realms of samsara in which we now exist.

In the past, when Dharma Master Nenghai listened to Geshe Jangba expound the Dharma, he could hear only one sentence each day and had to make a round trip of about 25 miles. It took him half a year to finish listening to that Dharma teaching.

There are also many people who learn Buddhism by studying Buddhist scriptures. Because many scriptures are written in classical Chinese, their meanings can be very difficult to understand. Even when someone can understand the words, the scriptures were compiled by the Five Hundred Arhats based on their recollections of the Dharma expounded by Namo Shakyamuni Buddha. Therefore, deviations in the meaning of the Dharma could inevitably have occurred, and what was recorded may not fully convey the perfect Dharma meaning spoken by the Buddha.

Today, we are able to listen directly to the perfect Dharma teachings of unsurpassed, complete enlightenment expounded by my Buddha Master(H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III). This is truly rare, precious, and extraordinarily auspicious!

When my Buddha Master (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III)expounds the Dharma, profound principles are explained in simple and accessible language, almost like having an everyday conversation. Deep principles of Buddha Dharma are presented to us clearly and understandably, enabling people of different levels of good roots to gain understanding according to their capacities.

Therefore, we must cherish every opportunity to listen to the Dharma!

Second, we must understand how swiftly impermanence can arrive. How much time do I really have left to waste? Impermanence can take my life at any moment, for death makes no distinction between the young and the old.

Since I have already encountered the true Dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, I must make good use of my time and genuinely cultivate myself according to the Dharma principles taught by my Buddha Master. I must integrate Buddha Dharma into my everyday life.

At every moment, I should recall the Dharma principles taught by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and use them to examine my every word, action, and thought:

Do I truly have compassion?

Have I practiced patience and forbearance?

Have I let go of greed, anger, and ignorance?

Am I still entangled in worldly grievances and disputes over right and wrong?

Are the things I am doing bringing me step by step closer to accomplishment and liberation?

A human existence endowed with the freedoms and favorable conditions for learning the Dharma is difficult to obtain. Even more difficult is the opportunity to hear directly from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III the perfect Dharma teachings that enable living beings to end the cycle of birth and death!

All worldly phenomena are illusory and ultimately unreal. What, then, is there to cling to?

Isn’t that true?

The people and possessions I cherish most, everything I have worked so hard to obtain—I carefully protect them, constantly afraid that I might lose them. Joy, worry, and anxiety accompany me all the time.

But has this attachment really brought me happiness?

Is this truly the happiness I have always longed for?

Have I actually obtained it?

At the very moment I take my last breath, will any of these things still belong to me?

Therefore, I must clearly establish the true goal of my life: to end the cycle of birth and death and attain liberation.

On the path toward liberation, I must not keep looking around—admiring the scenery here one moment and envying someone else’s treasures the next. Doing so only delays my journey and wastes my precious life and time.

Cultivation means cultivating oneself.

I must listen to the Dharma teachings frequently, and whenever I understand even one principle, I should put it into practice through my actions, speech, and thoughts—the three karmas.

I must constantly examine myself:

Have I let go of greed, anger, and ignorance?

Am I practicing the Six Paramitas and the myriad Bodhisattva practices?

I should begin with the people closest to me. It is in front of those closest to us that we remove our disguises and reveal our true selves. In those relationships, all our shortcomings are exposed most clearly.

I asked myself sincerely: Am I truly compassionate toward my family?

Suppose I have just finished mopping the floor, and suddenly a large footprint appears on the spotless surface. At that very instant, anger and irritation arise within me. I glare angrily at the person responsible, only to receive a casual response:

“Just wipe it again. What’s the big deal?”

Not only was my effort unappreciated, but I also felt that it had been disrespected. My anger immediately intensified, and I raised my voice:

“Why don’t you clean it yourself?”

Such a trivial incident exposed the selfishness within me.

First, my effort was not truly selfless. I expected praise and respect in return. Second, I lacked tolerance and understanding. When someone failed to respect the results of my labor, instead of responding with compassion and patience, I gave rise to anger and resentment.

At the root of the problem was my failure to truly understand the impermanence of all phenomena. I had failed to realize that I should be selfless, compassionate, and forbearing, and that I should do only those things that benefit others.

Instead, I had neglected what was truly important while clinging to things that offered no help whatsoever toward my accomplishment and liberation—my pride, my dignity, my boundaries, and so on.

It is truly time for me to wake up completely.

I must make full use of this limited lifetime, take my Buddha Master (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) as my role model, establish unwavering faith, rely upon correct understanding and correct views, and diligently cultivate my own conduct and practice my own Dharma.

I will strive to end the cycle of birth and death and attain liberation as soon as possible.

A Truck Was Demolished Falling Off a Cliff, Yet the Occupants Were Unharmed

A Truck Was Demolished Falling Off a Cliff, Yet the Occupants Were Unharmed

A Truck Was Demolished Falling Off a Cliff, Yet the Occupants Were Unharmed

My son Xiaoyu Tang once worked as a driver for the 4th company, 2nd barracks, 17th vehicular regiment of the Chengdu Military District. One night in the autumn of 1993, he went to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata to humbly request a blessing for the next day’s trip to deliver goods to Tibet. He said, “Grand Buddha Master, I will be driving into Tibet. The Sichuan-Tibet roads are very dangerous, and I fear an accident. I beg the Grand Buddha Master to bestow a blessing upon me.” The Buddha Master was painting at the time. Without giving it much thought, His Holiness smiled and said, “You do have a little accident in store, but it won’t kill you.” Xiaoyu knelt forward, and H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III put his hand on Xiaoyu’s head and blessed him. After Xiaoyu prostrated before and thanked H.H. Great Dharma King, he left for Tibet.

A little after 9:00 on the morning of December 26, 1993, Xiaoyu’s convoy was delivering cement to a mountaintop outpost on the border between Tibet and India, climbing the extremely steep and frighteningly curvy Demula Snow Mountain in the Chayu district. At a turning point on the mountain road, someone had bridged a sagging spot with two logs and covered it with mud and grass. It appeared on the surface to be part of the road, but it was actually hollow and could not support the weight of a few dozen military vehicles. Below was a valley more than 180 meters deep. Beside the bottom of the valley was the raging Yaluzangbu River. When Xiaoyu and his partner Qilin Zhao drove up to this segment of the road, the logs gave away with a loud crack and the truck tumbled thunderously down the cliff! Xiaoyu yelled with all his strength, “Quickly save me, Grand Buddha Master!” Then he called out to his partner Qilin Zhao, “Hold on to me quickly.” His partner grabbed Xiaoyu by the waist, and the two of them went tumbling down with the truck. All of a sudden, Xiaoyu had the sensation of being supported from below. It was as though he was floating down lightly to the bottom of the valley while lying on soft cotton. At the instant they hit the bottom of the valley, the two of them were ejected from the truck as it disintegrated and the doors, engine, and tires flew in all directions. The vehicle was in pieces; all that was left were the tangled contours of the driver’s cab lying less than two meters from the riverbank. One more flip and it would have fallen into the river.

Meanwhile, at the top of the cliff, the company commander immediately ordered that bugles be blown to stop the trucks. All of the soldiers took off their hats and stood in silent tribute for their “lost” comrades. Everyone knew that nobody could survive a fall from a cliff 184 meters (604 feet) high. The company commander immediately notified regiment headquarters to set up two makeshift altars. He also dispatched about a dozen soldiers down on ropes to gather the remains. Those soldiers were slowly let down that precipice. The company commander instructed them to find as many bones as possible so that they may be pieced together at a later time. When the soldiers reached the bottom of the valley thirty minutes later and found Xiaoyu and Qilin leaning on a boulder beside the debris of the truck, they fell back petrified, thinking they were seeing ghosts!

When Xiaoyu and his partner got back to the road, the company commander immediately ordered them to go to the hospital for a check-up. No one believed that two people of flesh and blood could survive unscathed a fall from a cliff 184 meters (604 feet) high that completely shattered their truck. The soldiers all thought that even if the two of them were luckily able to escape death temporarily, their internal organs must surely have been damaged. However, the results of the hospital examinations surprisingly indicated that other than slight bruises to their legs, everything was normal with the two of them!

A few days after the incident, Xiaoyu’s supervisor came to my home and recounted the accident in detail. He said, “Xiaoyu Tang and his partner are the first survivors of a falling vehicle accident in the Chayu part of the Sichuan-Tibet transportation line in decades. The truck fell from a cliff 184 meters (604 feet) high and was completely destroyed. Even the steel frame was smashed into pieces, but they came out safe and sound! This is too fantastic, too incredible.” 

How could they know that his survival was a result of the blessing of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III! I have not heard of any person in the world today besides my Buddha Master who possesses such magnificent power to save lives from the hands of Yama, the king of the hell realm! I solemnly swear to the following: My son, Xiaoyu Tang, fell down a 184-meter (604 feet) cliff in a vehicle, yet he truly came out of the fall safe and sound. If this account is a fabrication, my entire family will surely experience evil retribution and disaster. Because what I say is the truth, my entire family should enjoy profound blessings and wisdom and the happiness of human beings should increase!

As a father, I must say something sincerely at this point. When that event happened, Xiaoyu Tang was a self-cultivator whose practice was in accord with the dharma. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas protected him. However, at this time, Xiaoyu Tang’s practice is not good. Thus, whether his future will be good or bad, it is totally in his control.

Buddhist disciple,

The True Holy Vajra Pill and My Buddha Master

The True Holy Vajra Pill and My Buddha Master

The True Holy Vajra Pill and My Buddha Master

In Tibetan esoteric dharma, there are five types of precious pills. They are the Nectar Pill, the Long Life Pill, the Great Precious Pill, the Vajra Pill and the Supreme Precious Pill. Actually, these five types of pills are made from nectar bestowed by different Buddhas. There are also red pills and black pills made with Chinese herbs after the herbs are empowered through mantras, such as the red pills and white pills made by H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo. The Long Life Pill has the empowering effect of extending one’s lifespan. The Great Precious Pill can further one’s accomplishment in the dharma. The Vajra Pill can help dispel demons and increase longevity and good fortune. The Supreme Precious Pill can ensure accomplishment in the dharma. The five types of pills are crystallization of merit produced from the power of Buddha-dharma and the empowerment of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Basically, all great rinpoches have what they call precious pills. But most of them are of the ordinary type, not the holy precious type of pills. Holy precious pills and ordinary ones are two totally different concepts. I personally saw Nectar Pills made from nectar bestowed by Buddhas. I also personally saw true Vajra Pills and heard them chant mantras.

Certain famous rinpoches and dharma kings from the highest temples in Tibet have said that the Buddha-dharma that can enable a vajra pill to fly has not been seen in this world in three hundred years. This is a fact. There was a crazy yogi named Be Wa Ba who could manifest such power hundreds of years ago, but according to these respected rinpoches and dharma kings who have had contact with all of the well known dharma kings of recent times, this dharma had disappeared from this world.

I follow my Buddha Master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata, and am constantly by His Holiness’s side. Therefore, I have experienced many magnificent and real manifestations of Buddha-dharma. Now I will tell everyone about my experience of the true Vajra Pill. When the holy vajra mantra and mudra are practiced, the Vajra Pill will jump and even transform into rainbow light and soar into the sky. I have also heard the Vajra Pill dance and chant mantras. I watched other people listen to the Vajra Pill sing songs.

I vow that the events reported here are true and happened as reported. If not, I am willing to bear the karmic retribution of the hell realms.

Amazing supernatural events preceded my first experience with the karmic affinity of the Vajra Pill. This happened in April, 2003. I traveled from San Francisco to Los Angeles to see H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu. During the trip I suddenly saw a colorful and large rainbow light appear in the sky. The rainbow completely surrounded the sun. There were also Sanskrit symbols in the sky. Just as the rainbow was fading from sight, I was able to take a picture of the bottom half of this light by focusing the camera below the sun. A dignified Buddha–Dorje Chang Buddha–appeared in the middle of the rainbow. This Buddha became my Buddha master, H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu, who was wearing a red robe and was sitting in the middle of the rainbow. The scene was awesome and extremely wonderful. The rainbow light appeared in the sky for several hours.

When I arrived, I was fortunate to immediately see my Buddha Master. A great lama obtained three true Vajra Pills and had respectfully given them to H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata as an offering. The Buddha Master bestowed me with two of them. Unexpectedly the Vajra Pills in my hand started to jump. At that time the Vajra Pills jumped in my hand just as if they were alive. They not only jumped but one of them started to circle around and left my hand. It transformed into a dazzling bright red light and soared into the sky. At that time, I saw that the Buddha Master, who sat far away on the dais, had become a blue Buddha Vajradhara. The blue light was shining bright. The scene was very dignified. I was greatly astonished. This is when I first saw the true Vajra Pill and the true identity of my Buddha Master.

There was a very virtuous disciple who came from Australia. Because of a question I had asked H.H.Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata about a dharma matter concerning mysterious power, the Holiest Tathagata said to me, “Bring your Vajra Pill to empower this disciple.” I took out the Vajra Pill. In order to prevent the Vajra Pill from escaping, this great layperson personally put the Vajra Pill in a small cup and sealed the cup with a piece of paper. The disciple put the cup to his ear and moved 15-20 feet away from the Holiest Tathagata. Several of us were sitting on the floor around H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata. Then everyone started to chant mantras and practice dharma. Soon the Vajra Pill began to chant and sing Buddhist songs. This layperson was very moved. It is hard to believe that a tiny pill can actually sing Buddhist songs, but I have heard this myself. Actually, I did not hear Buddhist songs, but clearly heard the chanting of holy mantras. The sound came from this tiny BB sized pill that I personally held to my ear. It is truly unbelievable. In this world within the supreme Vajra Division of Esoteric Buddhism the Vajra Pill truly can be categorized into ordinary types and holy types. The Vajra Pill in my hand was living proof of the holy type.

Today I sincerely tell everyone my personal experience. My Buddha Master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata is the supreme and highest Buddha. May all living beings have the good fortune to hear, learn, and practice the true Buddha-dharma and quickly attain enlightenment.

I, Buddhist disciple Zhaxi Zhuoma, sincerely vow and clearly write down these events to prove the existence of the true Buddha-dharma in the world today.
