Your Yidam

In His book Learning from Buddha, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III provides the definitive definition of “Buddha-Dharma.” He gives a one-sentence summary stating that “In Buddhism, the perfect practice of the preliminary practice, main practice, and concluding practice is called Buddha Dharma.”…

The Five Vidyas

I have finally come to realize that you must have an understanding of the Five Vidyas to begin to understand what the Buddha Master is teaching us. However, as of yet, very few of the discourses given by the Buddha Master on the Five Vidyas have been recorded or released for publication in English…

True Compassion

I do want to try to express what I have learned about compassion from my Master, as I consider it the most important Dharma I have received. Like karma, it is complicated and not always what you might think it is…

Holy Fire Ceremony

There were several extraordinary Dharma assemblies held in Pasadena that I did attend after my retreat, even though it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to even drive to southern California…

Personal Retreat

We had been offering up to 30-day private retreats at the temple and in March 2018 I decided I needed to take one myself. It had taken me over a month to recover from my last Asian trip and I wanted to reflect on what I was doing wrong…

Kuan Yin Bodhisattva’s Great Compassion Dharma Assemblies

I want to give a little background on the Dharma of Empowerment by Kuan Yin’s Great Compassion. There are two stages to this great Dharma—the generation stage and the perfection stage. The generation stage only has about a 3% manifestation and can be learned successfully immediately, regardless of whether the learner is a good person or a bad person…

Testing in the Holy Realm

In 2014, the World Buddhist Association Headquarters (WBAH) first began a program to test the qualification of venerable ones, Dharma kings, rinpoches, monastics, masters of Dharma listening, Dharma masters, laypeople, and others…

Tea with Great Holy Wangzha Shangzun

I have been often asked what the most excellent and great holy Wangzha Shangzun is like. I have had the good fortune to meet him several times in different forms and situations. In one case I did not know who he was until much later…

Dharma of Selection: Jin Gang Fa Man Ze Jue Dharma Assembly

I know I have written about many extraordinary things that happened about or around the Buddha Master, and many incredible Dharmas have been transmitted or exhibited, but I think the Jin Gang Fa Man Ze Jue Dharma Assembly held in September 2015 is still the most amazing practice of Dharma I have witnessed…

Persecution of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in China

You may have seen that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was in trouble with the law in China and had fled to America to escape prosecution. It is true that at one point, INTERPOL had issued a warrant for His arrest…

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Paintings Sell for Tens of Millions

In case any proof was needed of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s accomplishments in the Craftsmanship Vidya, you could look at the art market’s response to His work. The paintings of the Buddha Master have been selling for millions of dollars for decades…

Changing Form

Early in 2014 the Buddha Master showed me two photos of Himself, one as a beautiful young man and the other as a gnarled, wrinkled, very old man (FIGURE 69). I had heard about him doing a major transformation but had not seen any evidence of this feat…

Meditation Retreats & Classes

Over the years we developed different types of retreats at the temple. They started out to be primarily work and Dharma listening retreats as we prepared to modestly develop the temple facilities…

Remodeling of the Temple

After the temple was designated a Vajra Throne, things changed. We had to remodel the temple to make it a suitable place for such an honor. First, the temple was renamed as the Holy Vajrasana Temple and Retreat Center…

The Fourth Vajra Throne

The pill that I had received in 2003 that then flew away manifested at the Xuanfa Institute. The vajra pill was to merge with these Vajra Poles to become one and empower the site as the first Vajra Throne in the West and the fourth one in the world…

The Xuanfa Institute

In January 2009, before the Big Blue Book Tour was over, I needed to relocate to the Fresno area to what had been the Sanger Mission, the precursor to what became Hua Zang Si in San Francisco…

Crown Opening Dharma

I once asked if I might receive the Vajra Substitute Body Meditation Dharma, but was told no, because the Buddha was afraid I would not return once I could leave this body, and I needed to be here to help propagate the Dharma for living beings. Actually, I suspect the Buddha was just being kind…

Tummo Initiation

When I returned from the final phase of the Big Blue Book tour and reported on what had happened, I was immediately blessed with a tummo empowerment and told to come back the next day for an initiation into the preliminary practices of tummo…

The following is an interview with Elder Monk Yi Zhao who is the successor of the Dharma lineage of the Elder Monk Xu Yun. Yi Zhao is the 44th great master of the Lin Chi sect within Zen Buddhism.
