43. Opening the teaching for screening and choosing Dharma Protectors, Venerables, and Bodhisattvas
He has began His ministry since 1957, teaching Buddhist dharma, transmitting meditation and encouraging believers to come to practice with approximately 3000 disciples. Later, since 1974 He has decided to organize examinations by making use of the contrary form and formless also called the dharma of purity and impurity.
Since 1976, all the members of the dharma flower have gradually known that He has a concubine who is a true disciple. After the fact, most of His disciples became rebellious and attached to the doubt, leaving the dharma; only no more than 10 disciples have remained with Him.
He has written the third sealed point to teach believers and passed it down to the future, reminding bodhisattvas, venerables and dharma protectors of recognizing that besides the profound learning and studying of the Triple Canon they have to practice non rebellion, leaving all attachments and following the dharma subject of immeasurableness, unlimitedness, and non-ego... to be able to reach the coast of enlightenment. We should always remember to recall adequate joyful detachment in order to be able to advance from Mahayana to Buddhayana.
