We have now read A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma, which is like
obtaining the most precious treasure. We have a correct albeit limited
understanding of disciples of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. However, we
were unable to include many holy occurrences and great figures in this one
book. For example, everyone still does not know which few people of holy
virtue are the representatives of those who possess dharma transmitted in this
world by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. We only understand that H.H.
Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata has directly
descended into this world and manifested the true Buddha-dharma, has set up
a correct and bright dharma banner in this Dharma Ending Age of chaotic
Buddha-dharma, and has guided living beings onto a shortcut to liberation.
However, we still do not understand that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III
did not descend into this world alone. Rather, many beings of great holiness
and virtue followed His Holiness into this world. Among such beings are
many great Mahasattvas who are not mentioned in the main body of this
book. Such great Mahasattvas include virtuous people over one hundred years
old as well as young people. We mention them here at the end of this book to
show that there are limitless aspects to the absolute truth of Buddhism, to holy
beings, and to holy feats that are not contained in this book.
Here we will only briefly mention a few holy people who truly are
dharma kings of tremendous virtue. There is a dharma king on the level of
H.H. There is a holder of holy-form inner-tantric initiation dharma. There is
also elder Dharma King Mohe, who is an over one-hundred-year-old
incarnation of Anathapindika, a follower of Sakyamuni Buddha. Only
topmost Vajrayana dharma kings of great holiness who are incarnations of
Buddhas or Mahasattvas possess the holy realization that those holy people
manifest.
Take, for example, the person of great holiness who is the incarnation of
Anathapindika. He has performed countless holy feats. His powers in the
healing vidya alone have elicited the unending praise of many people. He is
able to cure diseases such as cancer, AIDS, and demonic possession with great
facility. Through the casual combination of a few different medicines, he can
completely uproot those diseases. His Buddha-dharma realization powers are
unfathomably deep.
There was once a person who had a malignant tumor on his back and did
not want to undergo surgery. The person of great holiness told him to sit
motionlessly on the other side of a wall and that surgery would not be
necessary. After this elderly person of great holiness lightly snapped his fingers,
a loud exploding sound could be heard. It turned out that the malignant
tumor of the person sitting on the other side of the wall suddenly exploded
and its contents flowed onto the ground. That person was completely healed
within one month. Additionally, this person of great holiness knows what disease any individual has just by being informed of the name of the
individual. He is able to cure diseases simply through combining a few
different ordinary medicines.
There was one time over twenty years ago when Dharma King Mohe was
traveling outside his hometown. Because he is able to eliminate illnesses with
such ease, thousands of patients gathered outside his door, blocking the door.
For two days and two nights, this person of holy virtue did not eat or drink as
he tended to the sick. His disciples had no choice but to dig a hole through the
back wall, thus enabling the elder dharma king to extricate himself from the
surrounding throng.
The realization of this person of holy virtue is indeed tremendously high.
He was once openly drinking tea in a teahouse when all of a sudden he flew up
onto the wall together with the chair on which he was sitting, both sticking to
the wall. Another example involves a layperson by the name of Wei who
reincarnated as a pig. This person of holy virtue applied his dharma powers to
bring back to the earthly realm the consciousness of layperson Wei. He
brought back to life layperson Wei, who had died three days earlier. Layperson
Wei later explained to everyone the process by which he took birth as a pig,
saw this person of holy virtue in the animal realm, and was brought back to
human life. There are numerous examples of this kind. Everyone praises this
elderly person of great holiness whenever his name is mentioned.
Although elder Dharma King Mohe is 119 years old, he truly has a rosy
complexion and the skin of a child. The body of this person of great holiness
has two of the thirty-two auspicious marks of a Buddha. One of them is flat
soles. The other is hands and feet as soft as silk. The soles of this person are
indeed flat and soft, and his hands are as soft and smooth as silk. They are even
more delicate than those of a newborn baby. Everyone who sees these features
of his is filled with admiration. Nonetheless, this person of holy virtue has
always said that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu is the
greatest master.
A large dharma assembly was held during which many rinpoches,
venerable ones, a geshe, dharma teachers, and great laypersons expressed their
views, understanding, and thoughts. However, the only words that greatly
surprised everyone in attendance were the discourses on the Buddha-dharma
given by a few of those people of great holiness and virtue mentioned above.
Their discourses on the dharma were judged to be the best of all. The
exposition by one of them on emptiness was especially penetrating and
brilliant. All of the rinpoches, venerable ones, the geshe, and the dharma
teachers present were filled with admiration over the unfathomably deep
realization of those people of holy virtue who gave those discourses.
Actually, there have been very numerous manifestations of the state of
realization and virtue of those few people of great holiness. Two of them have been confirmed as dharma kings by having passed the test to be Golden Throne Holders. Two reincarnated patriarchs, six venerable ones, and
rinpoches all underwent that test to see if they were qualified to ascend to the
position of Golden Throne Holder, which carries with it the title H.H.
Dharma King. The result of that testing was that all of the venerable ones and
rinpoches did not have the realization to ascend to the position of Golden
Throne Holder. Only one person of great holiness and virtue mentioned above
received a H.H. Golden Throne Holder Certificate signed by seven monastics
and ten witnesses. There was another dharma assembly in which people were
tested to see if they qualified to perform the holy form of inner-tantric
initiation. One after another venerable one and rinpoche failed to pass that
test. Additionally, a demonic hindrance appeared. At the critical moment, a
person of great virtue suddenly stepped forward from the crowd. That person
displayed true realization and established an inner-tantric mandala in the holy
form through a stone separating that person and the mandala. That person was
the only one who obtained the qualification to perform the holy form of
inner-tantric initiation and received a Certificate of Qualification to Perform
the Holy Form of Inner-Tantric Initiation. However, to everyone’s surprise,
those two people of great holiness and virtue said that it is not important that
the venerable ones and rinpoches there did not attain the position of Golden
Throne Holder. They stated that the thing everyone must do at that moment
was introspect upon one’s own cultivation. They in essence said the following
of themselves: Please do not write our names in any book. We are ordinary
cultivators. You must wait at least until our cultivation rises to the level where
the top of our heads can reach the soles of Sakyamuni Buddha’s feet. At that
time, you can praise us.
However, it would be a grave mistake for anyone to think that those few
beings of great holiness and virtue are not qualified to have their names appear
in this book. Which venerable one or dharma king included in the main text
of this book has established a true holy-form inner-tantric mandala in front of
seven monastics and ten witnesses who observed the testing process? (One
must have true Buddha-dharma realization to establish such a mandala. Mere
knowledge of empty theories is useless.) Which person included in the main
text of this book has been praised to such a high degree by H.H. Dharma King
the fourth Dodrupchen Thupten Trinle Palzang Rinpoche, who is the supreme
leader of the Longchen Nying-thik?
H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen is the dharma king of great holiness
within the Longchen Nying-thik Great Perfection lineage. All of the Longchen
Nying-thik dharma in the world was originally transmitted by him. Many
monasteries, such as the Dzogchen, Shechen, Kathok, and Palyul monasteries,
received the Longchen Nying-thik dharma as a result of initiations and dharma
transmissions performed for them by H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen.
Famous figures such as H.H. Dharma King Jigme Phuntsok and his master,
H.H. Tuoga Wish Fulfilling Jewel; H.E. Mighty Lion Dharma King Renzeng

Nima; H.E. Xiazhu Qiuyang Rinpoche; H.E. the seventh Dzogchen Dharma
King; H.E. Longyang Rinpoche; H.E. Tudeng Nima Rinpoche; H.E. Taluo
Rinpoche; H.E. Renzeng Danbi Nima Rinpoche; and others were or are his
disciples. Simply put, all of the Longchen Nying-thik dharma in this world is
the dharma of H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen.
H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen spoke of those two persons of great
holiness and virtue in a supplementary recognition document. Addressing
those two rinpoches, he stated the following in that document: “To…
Rinpoche: You were born into an honored and holy blood lineage. I recognize
as follows: You will carry out for living beings all of the practices of all of the
Bodhisattvas involving compassion toward living beings. You will carry out for
living beings all of the undertakings of all the Buddhas involving the saving of
living beings. To… Rinpoche: You were born into an honored and holy blood
lineage. I recognize as follows: As long as space exists, as long as living beings
exist, you will be there together with them and eliminate their sufferings.”
The Recluse Dharma King wrote the following in his letter: “I saw the
words of praise addressed to… Rinpoche and… Rinpoche in the recognitions
written by my master, H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen, a dharma king of
great holiness. Such words prove that those two Bodhisattvas of great holiness
were truly recognized by that great Bodhisattva… Rinpoche was born into an
honored and holy blood lineage. He is the incarnation of Master
Shantaraksita… Rinpoche was born into an honored and holy blood lineage.
She is the incarnation of Sariputra, a great venerable one. Thus, I confirm the
recognitions of that great Bodhisattva. I affirm that such recognitions are
supreme dharma decrees that are accurate. I respectfully convey the following
wish: May the longevity of those two Bodhisattvas of great holiness be equal to
that of heaven, and may they save all sentient beings.”
As for those two beings of great holiness and virtue, one of them is the
incarnation of Sariputra, the greatest disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha, and the
other is the incarnation of Great Patriarch Shantaraksita, the founder of the
Nyingma sect. Only they were able to demonstrate successfully realization that
those venerable ones could not demonstrate. It is therefore apparent that if
they cannot be called H.H. Great Dharma King, then there is no person in
this world who can be called H.H. Great Dharma King. Even though their
status was clearly verified when they passed the test and received certificates
showing they attained the position of H.H. Dharma King, those two still
regard themselves as ordinary people. They continue to endure insults and
adversity with patience and are compassionate. Nevertheless, they did not agree
to have their states of realization and virtue described in this book. They also
did not agree to have their high status as reincarnations of great patriarchs
revealed. Moreover, they did not even agree to have their names appear in this
book. Such modesty and virtue truly provide to all of us Buddhist disciples a
precious model of great holiness.
