爲一個西方人提問說法

    首先,我們要弄清楚一個基本的問題,才能讓你明白:假如我們不來這個世界,我們

將會去什麽世界?

我剛才已經講到,在宇宙中,我們這個地球是宇宙中一個很小很小的、就類似于一顆灰塵那麽小的一個世界,微塵啊,像這類的有生命的世界,在宇宙中不計其數,數都數不清,不知有多少。那這個世界是指的我們這個人類世界,我們的人類世界同時有數不完的有生命的衆生,在佛經上說了,有六道衆生:天人、阿修羅、人道、畜生、餓鬼、地獄,這六道衆生呢,其實是一個大概的概念,它并不是六道衆生,還有若干沒有辦法歸納的衆生,就是經書上歸納不了的衆生。所謂衆生就是,衆者是指所有的一切,生者是指有生命的。

(翻譯:他說他不明白爲什麽人類衆生在世界上都是邪惡的?)

我會給你講到的,我必須要從這里理清楚,我講了你才聽得懂的。

那這之間就是一個因果关系了,互相之間就是一個因果关系了,萬事萬法都是因果,所謂的因果就是有因、種下了因,就會有果。你知道什麽叫因果嗎?

(翻譯:他說種因得果,但是對他來講,這個理解是壞的。)

我跟你講,這就是無始劫以來,從無始劫以來,這些衆生的因果而造成了一種共業,在這個世界上生存了,共同的一種業力──共業,大家共有的這種報應,好的報和壞的報、相等同的報,同時聚集在這里來了,當然有好的、有壞的。

(翻譯:他問是不是陰陽?)

不是,因果是這樣的,比如說做了某種壞事,做得相當的多,大家都喜歡做那麽一種壞事,他就相同了,然後又有另外的人,做了某種好事,也有相同了,他就累積,就是類聚群分,就分在一起了。這些都是衆生自己養成了他自己一個本質、他的本性,他自己形成了這麽樣一種個性、這麽樣一種本性,然後就變成共同有這樣一種本性,所謂的本性就是他的态度、他的行爲、他的性格,他惡不惡劣呀,就累積在一起了,這所謂的“物以類聚、獸以群分”的道理。

你們哪個聽得懂的要翻呵,我跟你們講呵,如果沒有對,要指點出來,不可以這樣的,這樣不是一個佛教徒的行爲呵。

比如說,我們這個地球,也不一定是壞的,好與壞是人爲的,是自我的心态和行爲而造成的感受好與壞,他有他非常不好的一面,但是又有他非常好的一面,爲什麽呢?這都是衆生,凡是衆生,我剛才講的,他的性都各有所具的。比如說豬,就是變成豬,所有的豬要跟豬攪在一起,狗跟狗攪在一起,狼跟狼攪在一起。比如說貓,貓生來它只會跟貓網在一起,它生來就喜歡抓老鼠的,這就是它的本性。狗生來就喜歡保護自己的主人,所以凡是外面的人來,狗都喜歡要叫、要攻擊他。豺狼虎豹生來就是要吃生命的,包括Coyote,也喜歡吃小貓小狗啊。

(翻譯:他說動物它們不是邪惡的。)

不,動物跟人是一樣的,不能說人是邪惡的,人,有很多人是非常好的,但也有邪惡的人。

(翻譯:他說他相信,但是他認爲現在這個時代,是邪惡的人比較多。)

我要講到的,聽我講。

這人爲什麽比其他的動物要厲害一些呢?我不能說叫邪惡,叫厲害,啊。爲什麽比其他的動物要恐怖一些呢?因爲人的智商高,所以人就會想出很多主意,而動物想不出來的。比如說,人輕輕就造房子了、造電燈啦,動物就造不了,由于他的智商高。那他爲什麽智商高呢?是由于他多生累劫做了很多善的功德,最後才成了人的。因此人呢,他既然智商高,他就會考慮很多好的和壞的主意出來,自然就會做出很多不如法的事,就顯得邪惡了。用一句很單純的話來說,動物它是很簡單的,所以它就想不來很多主意,其實它們的心一樣的有邪惡的,只是說它沒有辦法想出主意來對付人而已。

那麽我要說到,爲什麽這些有生命的,包括我們的人,爲什麽會變成這個樣子呢?原因是來源于他的貪嗔痴愛喜怒哀樂,來源于他的利衰毀譽稱譏苦樂,來源于他的五蘊執着塵境、執着五塵而造成的。簡單地說,就是由于自己爲了自己的利益、爲了自己的幸福,由于爲了自己的利益幸福,就執着到自己,一定要自己好,就要把别人好的拿來,就邪惡了。爲了自己的一切成就,就可以把别人一切不顧,所以就邪惡了。最关鍵的就在于有我執,我執,就是我的一種執着,一切爲我,就開始争奪利益,争奪權利,争奪工作,争奪所有一切對我好的。加上人的智商高,就會打很多主意、想很多辦法,所以就邪惡。

學佛的目的,就是不能争奪别人的東西的,要关心他人,幫助他人,关心所有的衆生,只有這樣,我們才能成爲一個沒有執着、偉大的人,而反過來,其他的人也會非常地尊敬你,覺得你非常地好,你了不起。所以修行學佛,所謂的因果啊,就是我們要先從因上不要去錯因,然後結的果就變好了。

至於我們不來這個世界,我們到哪里去?這是你剛才提到的問題。這不是你能做主的,不來這個世界、來這個世界,都不是你自己能做主的,是随到你種下的因果、随這個因果牽引,就會到那個圈子里面去,因此我不能回答你“不來這個世界,那我們到哪里呢?”比如說,我們的嗔恨心非常的大,我們非想對付别人,把他朝死里整還不饒,這個嗔恨心大得來無法想象了,像這一種,一般都會先到地獄中,最後轉到阿修羅國去,因爲是他的業力把他牽引去的,他就跟那個阿修羅同道了、同類了,他的體性。

要去的地方,我已經回答你了,是随業力牽轉去的,什麽時候牽轉呢?是在人斷了氣以後,進入一種境界,那叫中陰身境界,是在那個時候牽轉。中陰身是什麽境界呢?是我們的人斷氣了,那個時候人不能動了,身體開始冷了,血也停止、心脏全部停止了,簡單地說,就叫已經死了,那麽那個時候,你的神識照常存在的。

什麽叫神識,就是你的思想,你平常想問題的這個意識,沒有改變的,照常存在。那這個意識呢,不是像有些人說的:“人死了就沒得了,什麽都沒得了”,這是非常嚴重的錯誤,神識是不會滅的,它照常存在的,就相當于你晚上睡着,你做夢,你同樣在一個境界當中,同樣進入某一個地方、做什麽事,有情感,甚至還有笑、有哭的,什麽都有的,有悲傷,但是人并沒有動,爲什麽?因爲人已經睡着了,睡在自己的床上的,但神識已經到另外的地方了。人死了,那個神識就漂浮在一個無際空間,那個時候他沒有任何形象,而不受任何阻隔,看到一個山他都可以一穿就過去了,看到一個空,他一下就飛起來了,看到海水,他從水面上就走了,他不受任何阻隔。但是,他本人不知道他已經死了,因爲他是昏沉的,他經過一天、兩天、三天,他這樣下去,他很快就會知道他死了,他會覺得:哎,不對呀,我是不是已經死了?他就懷疑,那個時候,他掐他他也不痛,什麽都沒得了,嘿呀,他就慌了,然後再返回家一看,完了,已經沒有辦法了,回不去了,他的屍體血都已經凝了。那此時此刻,他會看到他的家人,他叫他的家人,他的家人聽不到的,只看到他的家人在那里悲傷,但是他喊他們,他們聽不見,因爲家人看不到他。就随到這個時日下去,很快他就開始要轉輪了,就說他的業力慢慢就出來,他的業力就會徹底現前,徹底現前的時間,就随着他的那個心,嗔恨心重的,就轉到嗔恨道,這個貪别人的東西貪心重的、兇殘的,就轉到餓鬼道,就開始分道了。善良的、非常和善的,就轉到天道,就是成爲天上的、到上帝那兒去了。

還有很多不同的,剛才說了六道嘛,我還沒有一個個去講的,我不想講得太細了,給你們說法說得太細了,你們聽得來也網起了。

那麽這里面還有另外一種現象,有業力很輕的人,當時一進入中陰身,他馬上就會知道他已經死了,不需要等幾天的。有的呢,他馬上就曉得啓動修法,他知道已經走了,不行了,他那個時候,他在中陰境界當中就知道修法了,所以他很快就會轉到好的輪道里面去了。

有的呢是當時知道,有的經幾小時知道,有的經一兩天知道,有的經幾天知道,有的幾十天都還不知道,所以不同等的,都是由于他所做的、種下來的善業、種下來的罪業和不同的業力而構成的他這個品質,就這個質料,曉得嗎?

那麽,從真理的角度來說,所以一個人不來這個世界,到底要到哪個世界,那不是自己說了算的,要業力來轉的,在中陰身的時間轉的。我們佛教的佛法,完全對這個問題非常清楚地可以解決,可以通過修行學佛學法,那麽做功課,來讓自己掌握自己的生死,掌握自己該到什麽地方去,那就要牽涉到學佛了,也牽涉到學法了。這些法都是我們的佛陀釋迦牟尼佛說在這個世界上的法,佛教最主要就是解決這個問題,解決衆生的生命、解決衆生的痛苦,佛菩薩們就是來這個世界,來幫助這些可憐的衆生的,來渡他們的,讓他們成就解脫。

我對你有個建議,你最好是把我的《藉心經說真諦》的英文,你好好地讀幾遍,你會明白佛法的真理的。我們會盡快把它完成,盡快完成,就會出版了,盡快。爲什麽這麽慢?是爲了要對所有的人、西方說英文的人負責,所以不敢馬虎,在翻譯的時候十分嚴格,怕翻錯了。

你的問題:“不來這個世界,那麽我們死了到哪里去?”我已經給你講得很清楚了,通過自己修行學佛,想到哪里就到哪里。我們有位高僧祿東讚法王,他是我的弟子,他就是什麽時間走,馬上還給我寫拜别文書,馬上寫完,寫完以後,最後他還寫了一個“墨迹未干,就此圓寂”,連這個寫字的墨都不要它干我就要走,就此圓寂,把筆一放,“梆”圓寂了,走了,他就到佛國去了。

另外,你要相信,這個世界,不是說這個世界的人很邪惡,不是,有很邪惡的,有很善良的,比如我們坐在這里的人都非常善良,但是邪惡的人确實太多了。我有一個弟子,是一個白人,有一天他就跟我講,他准備要幫他們辦一件事,要去找一個律師,他打了幾次電話,這個律師就沒有接,他來跟我說,他說:“佛陀師父啊,這個不行的,要重新換。”我說爲什麽呢?他說“我打去三次電話,三天,現在是上班的時間,他沒有接,說明他這個律師樓不正規,至少沒有工作人員。”另外又找一個律師,他說這個也不行,他用手機,他沒有辦公室,他這很糟糕。我說爲啥糟糕呢?他說我懷疑他們是騙子啊。我說“哪里那麽多騙子啊?”他的話就跟你講的一樣的:“嘿呀,佛陀師父啊,騙子多啊,相當多啊。”他說。我當時把眼睛都瞪大了,我問他:“真的嗎?”他說:“相當多啊。”這個弟子以前是國土安全部的,他跟我說:“相當多的騙子啊,師父啊。”所以啊,我就感覺就跟你說的話有點相同的道道,“這壞人多啊,”非常有道理。這世界啊,真的是需要趕快學習佛法了,因爲佛法一切慈悲,一切都以幫助衆生爲主,把利益盡量給衆生。當然,自己獲得的更多,因爲你善良,你種下了好的因果,你會獲得福慧資糧。

(翻譯:他說可能在幾千年之後,人類會變得更好。)

要看因果的發展,假如壞人更多的話,會變得更不好。假如壞人少了,好人多了,比如我們佛教昌盛了,那一定會變好的。而且現在真正邪惡的,各個行當都多。

那麽,我今天要說的就是,你說的這些我有體會的,這社會真是非常的可怕,很多人是非常的壞,但是也有非常好的人。

好,我今天給你講的道理大概就這些,但是你一定要看我的《藉心經說真諦》的書,這樣你會走很多捷路。

(翻譯:他跟他的太太希望能夠呈上一份非常微薄的禮物給佛陀師父,這個是從安大略、加拿大多倫多那個地方的一種冰酒,他這個冰酒非常的好,而且在一般賣酒的地方是買不到的,所以他希望這是一種合适的能夠供養佛陀師父,他們非常喜歡這個酒。)

好,首先,我非常謝謝你。第二,我必須要發自内心地告訴你,我是不要任何人的供養的,但是,只要你們修行學佛,是一個善良的人,今生能成就,能真正生死自由自己掌握,這就是給我最好的禮物。

(翻譯:意思就是說,這不是一個很大的禮物,只是一個小小的心意,希望佛陀能夠接受。)

我知道,大禮物、小禮物,我發的願是這一生只爲大家做事、爲大家服務,不要任何人的錢、不要任何人的禮物的,我發的願就是這樣的,我不想讓我這個願破掉了。我有一個建議你看好不好?你們把這個酒拿來,跟措母一路來的嘛,你們去哪個餐館里面去把它喝了,好吧?

還有一個方案,我爲了讓你們心里面也挺高興的,然後拿一個很小的杯子,給我倒一杯回來,好嗎?我會讓它來給你們作祈禱,祝福你們,好吧?

(翻譯:他們問是紅的還是白的?有紅白兩種。)

都可以的,問題都不大的,好嗎?只要你們挺高興,我就高興了。好吧?

那個佛書一定要看的,《藉心經說真諦》,看了以後你們會明白很多佛教的真理。還有另外一個,把多倫多那個地方的聞法點辦好,等今後種上了功德,我會給你們傳法,傳最好的佛法給你們兩夫妻,好吧?一定讓你們今生學到如來的正法,得到了生脫死,幫助、利益更多更多的人,讓更多的壞人變成好人。

(翻譯:他請求佛陀師父加持他的太太、他的兒子,還有他的家人。)

嗯,我會,我一定會作的。我能爲你們能做到的、對你們有利益的、能幫助的,我會盡力去做的。


我在控制你們嗎?我爲了什麽?

大家坐好,今天本來是來接待大家的,沒有想到突然就變成說法了,因緣是起源于有一個法師叫釋慧聰,現在就坐在這邊上的,就是你吧?

(釋慧聰合掌恭敬回答:是。)

大聲點。

(釋慧聰合掌恭敬回答:是,釋慧聰。)

他說他找不到第三世多杰羌佛的法脈,因此到中國去就找到這個法脈了。所有的佛教徒、弟子們,你們好生聽到:世界上沒有第三世多杰羌佛法脈的!也沒有任何一個法師的法脈!只有佛教這麽一個法脈!這個法脈是什麽呢?就叫佛教,釋迦牟尼佛的佛教,十方諸佛的佛教!法脈只有一個,永遠記住這一條!以後不要開黃腔。

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

完全胡說八道、外道的思維,什麽來到第三世多杰羌佛的傳承?第三世多杰羌佛沒有什麽傳承,只有佛教!永遠記住這一條。至于其它的什麽傳承、什麽山頭、什麽祖師、什麽派、什麽宗,那是後輩祖師們在釋迦牟尼佛滅度以後,慢慢形成自我的幫派,這叫幫派,永遠記住,無論他是什麽樣一個成就,他也是幫派,因爲佛教只有佛陀的教法,只有一個傳承。

好了,那麽剛才這個法師提出這個問題,其實他代表着很多人提出這個問題,很多人的意識、概念同樣存在的是“我們這個傳承”,這是非常幼稚的、非常的偏知偏見,甚至于是邪見,是不正确的。

說到這里以後,就回過來想到:難道說,這個所有世界上的出家人、活佛,他們教的法都是佛教嗎?這個可不能這樣想了,這要打疑問了,要打上問號了。他到底教的是不是佛教,要經過考證的。佛教是指釋迦牟尼佛的教法,而出家人和仁波且,有很多在弘法的宗派,他們一代一代的傳,現在表面上穿著的衣服是佛教的,其實非常之多的人已經堕入了邪惡見了,因此他早都不是佛教徒了,雖然是和尚,但同樣不是佛教徒;雖然是活佛,同樣不是佛教徒;乃至于雖然是格西,甚至于拉然巴格西,都不是佛教徒,這是我很實在地講的。爲什麽?因爲他根本宣說的不是佛教的教法,從二三十年前曾經我說到的法──《正法鑒邪僧》這一盤帶子,就證明了高僧──所謂的高僧,實際上不懂佛教!近代更多了,近代的非常多的所謂高僧,完全說的是外道,摻和着釋迦牟尼佛的經藏夥在一起說,所以就把佛教的行人們搞昏了,就認爲他們是正宗佛教。所以我現在要給你們說的是:我沒有什麽第三世多杰羌佛的法脈,我沒有什麽傳承,只有佛教──十方諸佛的正規的佛教、沒有被演變的佛教,因爲我直接在說!

我是被認證的第三世多杰羌佛,而不是自己冒充、自己選出來的,那麽從經藏來說,我确确實實對釋迦牟尼佛所說的、後輩祖師們所記載的經藏,我有清楚的認知,就是經藏里面也有錯誤,當然那個錯誤不是釋迦牟尼佛說錯的,是五百比丘分四次在七葉崖窟結經的時間結錯的,憑記憶力,你想怎麽能不結錯?假如今天我給你們說了佛法,過了十幾年,你們再回憶,把我這個話寫成筆錄,會不會錯?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:會。)

你們五百個人去商量,不會一團糟嗎?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

所以,經書啊里面有很多是錯誤的,但不是佛陀說錯的。就我曾經告訴過大家,釋迦牟尼佛說:啊,某某某某他如是之功德,將會在什麽什麽時候成爲阿羅漢、成爲菩薩,或者要成爲一個大富貴,乃至于要當什麽、當什麽、當什麽大宰官或者是帝王,經常作這樣的預言。但是,人們就沒有搞清楚、佛教徒就沒有弄清楚,釋迦牟尼佛說的預言是正确的,而所有的弟子們卻把這個預言搞錯了,釋迦牟尼佛說“如是修持”或“如是行道”,在什麽時間就會成爲幾地菩薩、幾果羅漢,非常多的這種預言,那麽這個預言、釋迦牟尼佛的說法是沒有錯的,爲啥子沒有錯?人家前面說了的,要根據現在這種情況“如是行道”、“如是修持”、“如是而爲之”,佛教徒怎麽可能根據當下那種情況如是爲之啊?他明天起來就變了,一變就不是了,那個時候就成不了啦,你們明白了嗎?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

可是,後輩祖師們全部把這個搞錯,都說:哎呀,佛陀都預言了,說如何如何,他好多世就要成爲什麽大菩薩的這個公案,經書上非常多這類的公案,這個公案是違背了釋迦牟尼佛的教法的,爲什麽?你們知道嗎?這叫宿命論,宿命論是外道論、邪教論,是邪教的論點,釋迦牟尼佛不會說邪教論點,但是經書上又出現,怎麽辦?經書上出現是比丘們結經和後輩翻譯們翻譯成中文、甚至于翻譯成其它的文字,就錯了,這一點我完全可以在事實中證明。我說的法,給英文的弟子們拿去翻譯,到今天各說不一,十個弟子翻,十個弟子矛盾,都把那個意思整不准,我們只要随便錄取一個就是有問題,難道不是嗎?對不對?你們說。

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

你們大聲點。

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是!)

那爲啥宿命論是外道論呢?因爲一切都要靠修行成就解脫,如果是依照到經藏,拿給這些翻譯、拿給這些記錄的五百比丘,以他們的觀點來作爲标准的話,那就不要修行,那就不要學佛。爲啥不能學?學來干啥?反正佛陀的預言已經說明了,每個人都是到好久好久就要成大官、到好久好久就要富貴的,命都定了的嘛,是不是?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

所以說,這絕對不成立的。可是經書上非常多的宿命論、非常多的預言,因此,這些經書、這種預言是絕對不能要的,因爲依宿命論就不能修行。譬如說,一個阿羅漢,已經預言他在某某某某佛出世的時間,他現在是一個凡夫,那個佛出世以後、當成佛以後,他就會成爲四果金身羅漢。那他還修啥子行呢?他再修行、再努力,也得要等那個佛出世、成佛的時間,他才成四果阿羅漢,他莫如現在耍、莫如到拉斯維加斯去賭博、到處整天玩,對不對嘛?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

修行多累人啊!可是,釋迦牟尼佛說了大量的修行,六度萬行,處處要衆生修行,你們修行、種因、結果,種下這個因,才能結這個果,沒有修行、沒有種下這個因,就結不了這個果!因此,在佛教里面,有一個非常重要的名詞,那就是修行學佛!

修行,修自己的行爲,這個行爲修成什麽?修成佛的一樣,佛陀的行爲是怎麽,我們就把他學成什麽樣,所以叫學佛,學佛的行爲,因此叫修行學佛!要靠修行學佛來成就解脫,而不是靠整天貪玩好耍、享樂腐化、等到固定的命運二天成什麽,沒有這回事!

我講到這里以後,就要提醒你們馬上回光返照一下:修行學佛是真理呢,還是宿命論的預言是真理呢?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:修行學佛是真理。)

對,如果預言、宿命論是真理,那修行學佛就不存在了,就沒有用了,對吧?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

當然,我說的這是經藏上的問題。釋迦牟尼佛是非常偉大的,祂不會開黃腔的,祂說的法很好,因爲祂是至高無上的佛陀,佛陀就是至高無上、無所不通的,但是,弟子們要咋翻、咋整,那誰都管不了,這也是随衆生的因緣、衆生的業力、衆生的習氣,造成自己種因結果的福報,該不該享受這個法。所以有時候啊,整錯的東西往往還不能怪五百比丘,也不能怪後輩祖師,是衆生本來就沒有資格,只能聽錯誤的,就相當于現在末法時期,大法師、大活佛一說法開示,滿口盡是邪教的語言,甚至于公開诽謗釋迦牟尼佛的教義他自己都不知道,他完全搞不清楚,他還認爲他講的蠻好的。

那你說:師父你不是剛才也诽謗嗎?你們說我是诽謗嗎?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:不是。)

我是維護釋迦牟尼佛的形象、維護佛陀的正教,釋迦牟尼佛的形象是光明的,只有一個佛教,就是釋迦牟尼佛的佛教,而這個佛教,也就是十方諸佛的佛教,完全一樣的,沒有兩個真理的,只有一個真理。因此以後,大家要注意:沒有“我們這個傳承”,只有佛教傳承。

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

只有佛教正法。

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

其它的都不是佛教正法。有的人說:哎呀,千萬不要說如來正法,人家中國那邊聽到如來正法不高興。這又錯了,這是他們沒有學問的人不懂。如來是什麽?如來就是佛,佛就是如來,就是佛的正法嘛,佛陀的正法、釋迦牟尼佛的正法,說如來正法錯在哪里呀?你們要念釋迦本師如來的嘛,難道不是嗎?對不對?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

好,那麽,我今天說到這里以後呢,我還要說一種邪惡見——愚痴邪惡見,這種愚痴邪惡見很可憐的,說什麽呢?非常多的人有這個觀點,而且這種觀點的人都是妖僧、邪教、或者是妖人,他們說什麽呢?他們說:“第三世多杰羌佛做很多佛事,爲什麽祂要做那麽多佛事?目的只有一個:就是爲了控制我們這些學佛的人。”

佛弟子們,你們該清醒頭腦的時候了,這世界上任何一個法師、任何一個仁波且、任何一個宣教的上師,你說他控制你們是爲了他自己的利益,這是說得走的,牽強附會可以拉上去,如果你要說第三世多杰羌佛控制你們,不錯,确實控制你們,你們聽清楚了,因爲每一個人、每一個佛菩薩要做一件事情,都有一個目的,我做事也有目的,我的目的是什麽呢?非常明确地告訴你們:我的目的就是爲了控制你們的邪惡,讓你們的邪惡觀點──對人類不利、對衆生不利的這種習氣、這種身口意的行爲改掉,改成善業,讓你們成爲黑業遠去、善業親迎,而能達到福慧圓滿成就解脫,這就是我的目的。

那麽我自己獲得什麽呢?我自己獲得的是,跟其他的師父、跟其他的所有法師上師們獲得的完全不同,他們獲得的至少是求功德,或者是求弟子供養、求自己的利益,在那里弘法、在那里建壇、建寺、建廟、建道場、做Temple。我呢,恰恰相反,我在你們所有的佛教徒當中,所要讓你們改掉你們的惡習的這個觀點、這個目的,我獲得的是半夜兩點、三點、四點不能回去,白天在那邊道場接待,晚上到這邊來,累得筋疲力盡,有時候甚至,我說有時候,我沒有說妄語的,你們出家人聽到,出家人還不煮飯給我吃,我累倒三點過鐘,我還得晚上自己喝一點開水就算了,我說這是事實的。

我的目的,就是要讓你們的惡習不要增長,成爲善業、成爲解脫成就的聖者、成爲一個好人,我獲得的利益就是勞累、辛苦、痛苦,而不收一分錢的供養,什麽利益都不要,這就是我所獲得的目的。這世界上只有一個,就是我,沒有第二個,弟子們。

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

事實就是這樣。有這麽笨的人嗎?哦,第三世多杰羌佛真笨,好沒有智慧喲,嘿呀,自己那麽辛苦,祂還要來拼。我不是在爲我拼,我是在爲所有的佛教徒拼,我是把利益全部給了你們,我自己撿到的全是折磨。弟子們,你們想過嗎?有這樣笨的第三世多杰羌佛,有嗎?沒有!我清楚得很,我完全可以不理你們,我完全可以一個人都不接待,我自己逍遙自在,全世界旅遊,我自己全部享樂腐化,我幸福得很。爲什麽要到這里來聲嘶力啞的呢?啊?

所以呀,有些邪惡的人說:你看嘛,第三世多杰羌佛這就是在控制我們嘛,做那些很多佛事,就是要控制,還有一天還給我們發甘露丸,那個甘露丸不是拿來控制我們的嗎?

反過來又說,弟子們,我控制你們干啥?我控制你們找倒霉,我控制你們找痛苦。我說句不好聽的話,如果我不是第三世多杰羌佛的心态,我難得淘神!我憑什麽要控制你們來自找倒霉呢?你們說我說得對嗎?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

关鍵是我沒有要你們東西呀!你們要弄清楚點。

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:是。)

而我們的虔誠的弟子,這里大有人在,而今天沒有好多人,但是要說供養我的人可多啦,真誠的不得了,弟子們,我今天跟你們說。以前證達也拼命供養我的,以前,我在成都的時間就,我也沒有要啊,對不對?

(證達法師合掌恭敬回答:是。)

慧善采取一切辦法供養我,甚至于還整成什麽呢,那個卡,我要沒有?你說。

(慧善法師合掌恭敬回答:沒有。)

對啦,就是現場的。

還有我們這個弟子盛苗珊,很虔誠,他把他的錢、他把他的财産都拿來供養我,不瞞你們說,他上億的财産,我完全拒絕。你說,我說的是事實嗎?

(盛苗珊合掌恭敬回答:是。)

聽到了嗎?我分文不要。那一天他看實在沒有辦法供養了,他還跑去買了一個啥子戒指,鑽石的,好多萬美金買的,我說我告訴你我不會要的,這個跟我說不通的,所以通過其他的弟子來跟我說,我說沒有用的。師父就是爲你們服務的,師父沒有控制你們,師父是在教化你們,是教化!就盡管是教化,我也是自找勞累、自找辛苦,世界上有這樣的師父嗎?有沒有啊?

(大衆合掌恭敬回答:沒有!)

我沒有勉強你們說,事實就是這樣。

當然,你們說:哎呀,那麽下面有些法師他們要修廟、有些要做事,那麽他們不是不正确的嗎?我必須說:法師們,只要他行的是正法,他修廟、做佛事是正确的。一個佛弟子不行佛道、不做佛事,那就不應該了。可是這個你們不要拿在我的身上來,我不需要你們做佛事,做什麽啊?你們只要去渡生,利益衆生,幫助衆生,渡衆生來聞法,就建立功德。因爲釋迦牟尼佛有規定:你們供養三寶,是要種福田的,這是必然的。供養沙門種福田,這是肯定的,否則,你就不會結上善因、不會結上菩提的種子。因此,修廟、建寺、做佛事,真真誠誠地,那是對的。

可是,要認清楚了,現在邪師遍布,整個世界充盈着邪師,一萬個,九千九百九十多個都是邪師,所以你們輕輕就落在他們手里去了,那可不能供養的,那供養了你就完了,供養了,你就助邪爲惡,不是助善增功,這很重要。

那你說,我們現在知道了,第三世多杰羌佛佛陀師父是最正确的,連法音這麽多都是佛陀說的。可是,我已經講了,我發下了願力,我不收供養的,所以你們不要在我身上想這個問題,我是只勞累辛苦來爲你們義務服務的。明白這點就對了。

而且再告訴你們佛弟子們,我也不想這樣,整天人太多了,确實我沒有辦法應酬,今後不是非常虔誠的弟子,你也不要來找我了,你們就聞法吧,等你把佛法聞懂了,等學好了,再來,目的是要讓你們獲得成就、獲得解脫,只要你們能成就、能解脫、能幸福,就是我最高興、我最需要的,你們的成就就是供養我和十方諸佛,十方諸佛不要任何供養,我也不要,但是,你們的成就可以去渡衆生、利益衆生、幫助他人,讓整個世界、整個社會都吉祥昌盛幸福,因爲我們佛教才是最圓滿、最偉大的,所以我希望大家要把佛法、要把法音翻去複來地好好地聞懂、聽進去。人生是無常的、是痛苦的、是毫無意義的,弟子們,時間過得非常的快,轉眼之間,你們就會變得很老很老了,一下就六七十、七八十,你們就不行了。

而且,無論你有多大的财富,你一死了,什麽财富都沒有了。你說:不要緊,我們家人准備好了的,他們會給我燒錢化紙。我跟你講,中陰境界用不到錢的,轉輪道中也用不到錢的,轉到鬼道,鬼道沒有飯店、沒有旅館,不用錢的,只有孤獨痛苦,餓得心慌,一塌糊塗,就是那句話:黃泉無旅店,今夜宿誰家?一口氣一斷,馬上就完了,黃泉道上沒有旅店的,那今夜我又在哪里住呢?我又在哪里吃呢?那個時候,除了急劇的痛苦和恐怖,什麽都沒有!就算把你轉輪打到畜生道,畜生道哪里在用錢呢?那才是真正被控制、真正被宰割。變羊,按時,到什麽時間就該殺了、就該剝皮了,變豬,什麽時間該殺,變雞,我不說了,你們就想象,通通都要挨刀的。變鳥,好可憐哦,吃了上頓沒有下頓,吃一個東西,再造孽,吃蟲子、吃食物,尤其吃有生命的,這口吃了二口就沒有了,還要養自己的小鳥、小孩,除了心慌,什麽都沒有,弟子們,什麽都沒有。螞蟻,可憐得不得了,一個暴風雨來了,立刻一淹,都淹死,住得高的,水還瀝得快,還算能活,住在低窪處的,都得要死。你們想過衆生的可憐嗎?

那你說:我不會變衆生的,我多好啊,我是佛弟子。我只想給你們說一句,前面說到因果了,因果,沒有種下那個因,就沒有那個果,你殺過多少生命了,你知道嗎?你爲你曾經整死過衆生嗎?死一個都得要還的哦,因果是對等的,你還想變人嗎?那個時候你就找第三世多杰羌佛也找不到,因爲你在另外一個道中,我才不想再來這個世界的,我不免得人家别人說我來控制他們,我這個控制是來找倒霉的,世界上只有一個人,不控制而被誣陷成控制,結果是找倒霉、找痛苦,把利益全部給所謂的被控制者。

有的人說:第三世多杰羌佛,你看嘛,祂們上尊們修法,就是爲了控制嘛。控制你干啥?上尊們修法,祂們控制你要供養祂,那是理所當然,因爲祂是上尊,祂是聖者,孺尊就是聖者了,教尊是聖者。我們莫知仁波且修拙火定最兇,那祂也在控制人嗎?莫明其妙!祂什麽時間控制過?什麽時間喊你們拿供養給祂了?哎呀,可憐啦,衆生啦,太可憐啦!

記住,第三世多杰羌佛來這個世界,是爲了給三界六道衆生,首先是人道的衆生,說法來的,是爲了來幫助大家把邪惡的心、行改過,成爲一個好人,成爲一個利益社會、利益大衆的人,進而成爲一個上好的修行人,得到解脫成就,不要再在輪回當中打轉了。我所撿到的、所收取的利益,唯一就是勞累辛苦,其它的都沒有,不收一分錢的供養,什麽利益都不要。可是,我看到你們幸福、我看到你們成就,那個時候,十方諸佛跟我一樣,會法喜地关照着,會高興的。

今天的法就說到這里。

(大衆合掌恭敬說:感恩佛陀師父!南無第三世多杰羌佛!)

The Return of the Pope of Buddhism Scepter by His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was Rejected

Source:  WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/


WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 24, 2020, the Chairperson of both the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council Suzi Leggett announced the ultimate resolution of the two Councils at the Holy Miracles Temple of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters: "The return of the conferment decree and the Pope of Buddhism Scepter by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is not effectible. The title, status, and authority of the Pope of Buddhism belong only to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and cannot be exercised by anyone else."

In 2018, after extensive vetting, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council officially conferred the title of Pope of Buddhism to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. The conferment decree and the Pope of Buddhism Scepter was signed and presented by the then Chairperson of the two Councils Han Min Su. Nonetheless, to everyone's surprise, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was totally unmoved by the noble status and tremendous honor that came with the Pope of Buddhism title, and did not accept the conferment. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said: "Within the field of Buddhism, there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. There are titles of Dharma kings, rinpoches, Dharma masters, eminent monastics, greatly virtuous persons, and Holy Gurus. There is no need for a Pope. I am a humble cultivator. I am not able to take on such a heavy responsibility."

When the World Buddhism Association Headquarters presented the conferment decree and the Pope of Buddhism Scepter that they received to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, His Holiness the Buddha saw that there was a seated statuette of Namo Shakyamuni Buddha on the Scepter and immediately raised the Scepter above His own head to show respect to Namo Shakyamuni Buddha, the Lord of Buddhism of the saha world. No one would have anticipated that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III actually returned the conferment decree and Pope Scepter directly to the two Councils.

In today's announcement, Chairperson Suzi Leggett said: "Over the past several decades, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council has presented the World Peace Prize to President Ronald Reagan, Hon. Mahatma Gandhi, H.E. Yitzhak Rabin, and presidents and prime ministers of other nations. There has never been a precedence of retraction. All determinations made and implemented by our Councils are very solemn, serious, and absolutely cannot be changed…The return of the conferment decree and Scepter of the Pope of Buddhism by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is deemed not effectible. The title, status, and authority of the Pope of Buddhism belong only to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and cannot be exercised by anyone else. This is a permanent and unalterable determination!" Despite the fact that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III still would not accept the conferment, Chairperson Leggett once again presented to the World Buddhism Association Headquarters the conferment decree and Pope Scepter that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III previously returned.

Venerable Mozhi Rinpoche represented the World Buddhism Association Headquarters to receive the conferment decree and Pope Scepter signifying the conferment of the title of Pope of Buddhism by the two Councils to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. He said, "The World Buddhism Association Headquarters considers the decision made by the two Councils to be a remarkably proper and sagacious. Ever since Namo Shakyamuni Buddha entered parinirvana, there has not been a supreme leader who has the authority to guide all Buddhists the same way that the Buddha did. However, the authoritative position of the Pope of Buddhism certainly is not a role that a leader of a single Buddhist sect would have the attributes to fulfill; rather, the Pope must be a leader who has authority over the entirety of Buddhism, namely, a Buddha. Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III holds the perfect teachings of Buddhism and meets the criteria used by all Buddhist sects to recognize a Buddha. His inherent nature is that of a Buddha, His unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment is that of a Buddha, and His state of virtue is that of a Buddha. Just based the accomplishment of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in Lifting the Pestle onto the Platform, surpassing His own base weight standard by 59 levels, no one can possibly match such a record. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III also has perfect mastery of Exoteric and Esoteric Buddhism, perfect accomplishments in the Five Vidyas, and so forth, all of which truly are attributes of the perfect enlightenment of a Buddha. No other Buddhist Holy Guru in this world possesses such qualities.

"Just by the facts that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III vowed to benefit living beings purely on a voluntary basis and does not accept any offerings throughout His entire life, and that He possesses perfect wisdom and unimpeded accomplishments, no other Holy Guru can be of comparison. Only Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III can take on this immensely noble, holy, and heavy responsibility of the Pope of Buddhism, to properly guide Buddhists onto the correct path of learning Buddhism. Therefore, on behalf of Buddhists, the World Buddhism Association Headquarters thanks the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council for having made the ultimate decision."

Below is the statement announced by Suzi Leggett, the Chairperson of the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council:

The Conferment of the Pope of Buddhism to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III is Unchangeable, The Return of the Conferment Decree is Deemed Not Effectible

The field of Buddhism in today's world is rather chaotic, there need to be a preeminent Buddhist leader of authority to lead and correctly point Buddhists to the right direction. All Buddhists know that other than a Buddha, no great Bodhisattva, great Dharma king, great lama, or great Dharma master is qualified to hold the title and status of authority to be the world's highest leader of Buddhism. In particular, the entire field of Buddhism has now been infiltrated by many fake rinpoches and fake Dharma masters who are not true Buddhists. As a result, Buddhism all over the world has fallen into a state of chaos and confusion.

Within the traditions and formal systems of Buddhism, there are several dozen sects, such as Esoteric, Exoteric, Zen, Pure Land, Mahayana, Theravada, and so forth. Regardless of how high the status of a Dharma king or a great master of any school may be, such a person can only lead their own school. Besides, each school of the sectarian system has also been infiltrated by a great number of fake rinpoches and fake Dharma masters. These people are amateurs who do not understand Buddhist teachings in the Sutras; yet they feign to be greatly virtuous people or eminent monastics. Thereupon, gradually and inconspicuously, evil and non-Buddhists teachings have been mixed into authentic Buddhism founded by Shakyamuni Buddha. This is mainly because there is currently no preeminent leader in the entirety of Buddhism. There is no supreme leader of authority to take hold of true Buddhist teachings and true Buddha Dharma.

Since a Dharma king, patriarch, or great master of any school can only lead their own school, none of them is eligible, either in virtue or realization power, to be the authoritative leader of the entirety of Buddhism. Only a Buddha can be the King of the entirety of Buddhism and the authority in all Buddhist teachings and principles, in the same way the God in Christianity has authority over the entirety of Catholicism. Ever since Buddhist history in this world began with Shakyamuni Buddha, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the only Buddha who has truly been recognized by all major sects of Buddhism. A total of more than 100 documents of recognitions, corroborations, and congratulations have been formally issued by Buddhist leaders, Dharma kings, regent Dharma kings and great rinpoches of all major sects. Such a feat of recognition has never been achieved by anyone else in the history of Buddhism.

In particular, the Pope of Buddhism H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the first person in Buddhism to possess substantive holy realization power of a Buddha and perfectly flawless accomplishments at the pinnacle of the Five Vidyas. His selfless state of virtue is revered by all. His Holiness the Pope of Buddhism is also the one and only who possesses the inherent nature and physical constitution of a Buddha that no other eminent Buddhist monastic or virtuous person in this world has so perfectly attained.

After the Chairpersons of the World Peace Prize Awarding Council Han Min Su and myself, as well as the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council spent two years vigorously examining all evidences in great detail, we have formally made the ultimate, permanent, and irreversible determination that on January 31, 2018, the conferment decree and the Scepter of the Pope of Buddhism were to be presented to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. That date signified the official ascent of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to the authoritative throne of the Pope of Buddhism.

The World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council had officially conferred the title of the Pope of Buddhism to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in January 2018. However, at that time, the Pope of Buddhism H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III refused to accept the conferment decree and the Pope Scepter, stating His reasons being: "Within the field of Buddhism, there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. There are titles of Dharma kings, rinpoches, Dharma masters, eminent monastics, greatly virtuous persons, and Holy Gurus. There is no need for a Pope. I am a humble cultivator. I am not able to take on such a heavy responsibility." In light of this, the World Buddhism Association Headquarters took the liberty to accept the conferment decree and the Pope Scepter for H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

However, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III returned the conferment decree and Pope Scepter to the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council. The two Councils deem the return of the conferment decree and Scepter to be unjustifiable. The conferring of the title of Pope of Buddhism was a determination reached by both Councils after serious and solemn vetting, and the conferment has already been implemented. Under no circumstances can we be so lacking in rigorousness to accept the return of the conferment. This decision has been made by the two Councils. This is not a decision for H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to make on his own.

Over the past several decades, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council has presented the World Peace Prize to President Ronald Reagan, Hon. Mahatma Gandhi, and H.E. Yitzhak Rabin, and presidents and prime ministers of other nations. There has never been a precedence of retraction. All determinations made and implemented by our Councils are very solemn, serious, and absolutely cannot be changed. Therefore, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council hereby issue our ultimate statement regarding this matter as follows: The return of the conferment decree and Scepter of the Pope of Buddhism by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is deemed not effectible. The title, status, and authority of the Pope of Buddhism belong only to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and cannot be exercised by anyone else. This is a permanent and unalterable determination!

We wish that under the Pope of Buddhism H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, true Buddhism will greatly flourish, and the world will be greatly benefitted!
