Recognitions and Congratulations - From WANGZHI TUDENG JIGMEI RINPOCHE



　　CONGRATULATIONS

　　I express my respect to the most honorable ancient Buddha:

　　First, I put my palms together and praise the most honorable ancient Buddha, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu for the publication of A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma and for the good fortune and wisdom with which the ancient Buddha has blessed us! This treasured book is a precious mirror of the Great Perfection that has appeared in this world for the first time. The most honorable ancient Buddha has perfectly and flawlessly brought to this world the Buddha-dharma of Tibet's four main sects as well as the exoteric Buddha-dharma. How fortunate living beings are for this! Actually, the ancient Buddha does not need to be congratulated. Thus, may living beings hear the true dharma and attain liberation!

　　Ong, Ah, Hong!

　 　 SOLEMN EXPLANATION 　　 I hold in great respect Master Wan Ko Yee ’ s noble moral character. I have known the Master for ten years. I have seen so many examples of the Master ’ s selflessness and morality. I was so moved that I decided to do something to benefit the Master. In order to make an offering to the Master, I made a special trip to the United States in 1999. I invited the Master to Oakland to see an almost 65,000 square foot building that I would like to offer to him. The Master did not accept it. Later, I invited the Master to Richmond, which is in the San Francisco area, to view a 37 acre piece of land. That land was only a little more than ten minutes from Chinatown by car and was situated in a good part of the city. The Master immediately and steadfastly refused to accept it. My only choice was to give up. 　　 Finally, a year later, I made an offering to the Master of US$1,500,000. The Master immediately instructed someone to fax me material in Chinese and

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu’s Selected Philosophical Sayings About Worldly Matters (This is a translation of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha  III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu’s philosophical sayings about worldly matters originally written in Chinese.) 　　 LI. 　　 One with a goal to reach needs guidance, but guidance cannot replace the effort one has to make. Though the road lanterns show your way, without stepping forward, you reach nowhere. It is one’s own effort that is decisive. 　　 LII. 　　 Arrogant persons often demand respect with their power, yet they are never respected wholeheartedly. Why? Power does not equal truth, and demanding respect is merely evidence of arrogance and stupidity. Genuine respect is built on moral integrity and can stand the test of time. 　　 LIII. 　　 Wisdom and ability come with the experience of what one is conscious of, which is a process of transforming knowledge into practice. It is these experiences that

SUPERNATURAL POWERS IN BUDDHISM

Do Buddhists advocate supernatural powers? Actually, this is not a matter of advocating or not advocating. Rather, supernatural powers are that which everyone who is accomplished in the dharma possesses. Such powers are the manifestation of realization achieved through cultivation. They are phenomena that exist in the course of cultivation but are not the goal of cultivation, which is liberation from the cycle of birth and death. They are by-products that arise during ones practice. These by-products called supernatural phenomena naturally exist in all liberating paths within the Buddha-dharma. Becoming attached to these by-products and regarding them as the goal is heretical supernatural powers. Applying these by-products in a free and unattached way and regarding them as illusory is treating supernatural powers based on the correct Buddha-dharma view. 　　 Sakyamuni Buddha manifested supernatural powers and also was against supernatural powers. Each of those two tacks reflects differ
