(This is the text of an article published in the Asian Journal on Oct. 6, 2004.)

Elder laywoman Quan-Fang Lu who was a disciple of Great Dharma King Yangwo Yisinubu1, was from Chengdu, Sichuan. She and her husband, layman Guang-Ming Wang, had been Buddhists since the 1950’s. When they took refuge in Buddhism, they received an initiation and Dharma transmission from the Great Dharma King. In the 1950’s, they were working in Tibet. Because of their underlying karmic conditions, they received the guidance of an outstanding Rinpoche of Tibetan esoteric Buddhism. That Rinpoche told them that Great Dharma King Yangwo Yisinubu possessed the best and highest Buddha Dharma. After going through many hardships, they brought their son to the Great Dharma King. The Great Dharma King was not even seven years old at the time. The three of them formally acknowledged the Great Dharma King as their Master. Laywoman Quan-Fang Lu and her husband Guang-Ming Wang then resolutely decided to have their son stay by the side of the Great Dharma King in order to receive his training and Dharma teachings.

They have been very pious and respectful toward the Great Dharma King, and they have diligently practiced the Dharma that the Great Dharma King transmitted to them. Over the past years, certain people have spread rumors and made false accusations against the Great Dharma King. Laywoman Quan-Fang Lu and her husband Guang-Ming Wang were filled with righteous indignation at this. They vigorously berated the contemptible conduct of those rascals who spread rumors, fabricated lies, and deceived people.

Based upon layman Guang-Ming Wang’s own pious heart and upon the Great Dharma King’s realization, which is like that of a Buddha, in November of 2003, layman Guang-Ming Wang passed on to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. At his cremation, layman Guang-Ming Wang left behind 11 sarira firm relics.

In the middle of August, 2004, laywoman Quan-Fang Lu told her son Min Wang that she would soon pass away. Min Wang telephoned the Great Dharma King a few times, beseeching the Great Dharma King to cause his loving mother to stay alive longer. When Min Wang’s mother found out about these calls, she admonished her son, “Those who learn Buddhism and cultivate themselves must understand that the law of cause and effect never fails. My karmic connection with this world is about to end. My karmic connection with the Dharma is now complete. The Dharma King Master will help me go to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.”


As expected, at around noon on September 9th, the crown of elder laywoman Lu’s head suddenly opened. The crown of her head became as soft as cotton. At that time, a colorful auspicious light filled the room. Amitabha Buddha came to escort her away. Beautifully set off by a huge white Buddha light, the pure gold bowl of Amitabha Buddha slowly descended. The red lotus flowers in the bowl were bright-colored. Two photographs were hurriedly taken of this extremely rare and holy sight. Heavenly music could be heard. Imitating the Buddha, elder laywoman Lu assumed the “auspicious recumbent posture.” Amid the Buddha light, she passed on to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.
The next day, her body was placed in the Buddha worshipping hall of Bao Guang Temple in Xindu, which is one of the four great Chan (Zen) temples in China. Right after her body was placed there, an image of the Great Dharma King suddenly emitted bright light. A colorful Buddha light went round and round the Great Dharma King’s image. A fragrant scent wafted through the air.

News of such phenomena began to spread. More and more people came to chant mantras and sutras for the benefit of laywoman Lu, respectfully see her off to the next realm, and observe the ceremony. Day and night, the chanting of Amitabha Buddha’s name did not stop. On the evening of September 10th, eminent Tibetan Rinpoches and Lamas who were all disciples of the Great Dharma King arrived at the temple after having traveled a great distance. They came to perform Buddhist rites. On the evening of September 11th, the machine used to chant the name of Amitabha Buddha suddenly emitted the shocking sound of the Great Dharma King chanting the name of Amitabha Buddha. The Great Dharma King was in the United States. The monastics and laypersons in attendance were all extremely moved.


At around noon on September 12th, a holy sight appeared for the first time in history! A painting of Amitabha Buddha hangs in the Buddha worshipping hall of the temple. In front of Amitabha Buddha’s chest, a heavenly window to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss suddenly opened. This heavenly window directly displayed the sights of the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss! People were seething with excitement. They were so pleasantly surprised they could hardly control themselves. Through that heavenly window to a Buddha land that appeared in front of the painting of Amitabha Buddha, all of those who had the requisite karmic affinity saw Amitabha Buddha. They even saw the protuberance on top of Amitabha Buddha’s head. They saw Kuan YinBodhisattva wearing white clothes and holding willow tree branches. They alssaw Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. In that heavenly window, elder laywoman Lu was reciting the name of Amitabha Buddha. Her lips were constantly moving, her
eyes blinked, and her head swayed. She looked the same as when she recited Amitabha Buddha’s name when she was alive.


The image of Great Dharma King Yangwo Yisinubu appeared in that heavenly window. He was wearing a red Dharma robe and a Dharma crown. When he appeared, people excitedly shouted words such as, “Master, I see you!” “Great Dharma King Master, by following you we do not fear even death!” “Great
Dharma King, my whole family wants to take refuge in you! We want to learn the true Buddha Dharma from you!” People were awestruck by these holy scenes. They could not control their emotions. The sounds of people marveling, shouting, and kowtowing could be heard.

During the cremation of laywoman Lu, holy sights continually appeared. Lotus flowers emerged. Images of the Dharma King, the Three Holy Ones of the Western Paradise (Amitabha Buddha, Kuan Yin Bodhisattva, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva), and Maitreya Bodhisattva all appeared. Vajra
Dharma protecting deities and dragon-spirit Dharma protecting deities stood in a circle on both sides of her. Fire phoenix flew to and fro inside the cremation furnace. Beautiful scenes of pagodas and towers from the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss repeatedly appeared. People before the cremation furnace were filled with Dharma joy and began prostrating. They were so moved they began to
cry. The sound of joyous laughter filled the temple.After the cremation was completed, people collected 49 sarira firm relics from the bone ashes of laywoman Quan-Fang Lu.

A Beautiful Love Story Carved in the Dunhuang Grotto China

Prince Sunwoo ventured into the sea in search of treasures

In the ancient Dunhuang Grottoes of China, a mesmerizing love story unfolds, delicately captured in murals that have withstood the test of time. Let us immerse ourselves in this enchanting tale of kindness, courage, and wisdom.

Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Polo, a joyous occasion marked the birth of a prince named Sunwoo. Born to the noble king and queen after twelve years of fervent prayers, the young prince brought immense happiness to the royal family.

As Sunwoo grew, so did his wisdom and kindness. His presence was a beacon of light, radiating love and compassion. However, alongside him was a stepbrother, an evil friend, whose heart harbored jealousy and resentment towards the virtuous prince.

The tale takes an unexpected turn when Sunwoo, driven by a desire to alleviate the suffering of his people, embarks on a perilous journey to seek treasures from the sea. His selflessness touches the hearts of many, but it also ignites the envy of his malevolent stepbrother.

Prince Sunwoo accompanied by 500 volunteers to search for treasur

Guided by an elderly instructor and accompanied by 500 volunteers, Sunwoo reaches Haizhou Jumbo Island. As he ventures further, facing challenges and loss, he encounters the benevolent Dragon King, who grants him the priceless Ruyi pearl.

Prince Sunwoo and his team sailed across the ocean

Meanwhile, back in the Kingdom of Polo, Sunwoo’s absence is keenly felt. His parents, yearning for his return, send a white goose as a messenger. The devoted goose delivers a letter revealing the Prince’s dire circumstances.

As Sunwoo’s journey unfolds, his evil stepbrother, fearing Sunwoo’s increased popularity upon return, decides to sabotage him. The malicious act blinds Sunwoo, leaving him vulnerable and alone.

In his darkest hour, a compassionate cowherd boy comes to Sunwoo’s aid. Unaware of his royal identity, the boy rescues Sunwoo and becomes his loyal companion, leading him back to the kingdom.

The love story takes an unexpected twist when the blind Sunwoo, reduced to a beggar, meets a kind princess during his wanderings. The princess was very touched by Sunwoo’s music. Her genuine affection and determination to marry him, despite societal norms, lead to a grand wedding.

In a poignant moment, the princess, deeply in love, makes a solemn vow. She promises to restore Sunwoo’s sight if her love is true and vows to take away her own eyes if she ever betrays him. Miraculously, her unwavering love restores one of Sunwoo’s eyes.

The narrative weaves through twists and turns, revealing the complex interplay of good and evil, karma, and ultimate redemption. Sunwoo’s evil stepbrother, realizing the consequences of his actions, repents and reveals the hidden Ruyi pearl.

In a grand reunion, Sunwoo’s parents regain their sight, and the entire kingdom is bathed in prosperity. The murals in Dunhuang and Kaihua Temple immortalize this timeless love story, showcasing not only the artistic brilliance of ancient China but also the enduring power of kindness and virtue.

As we reflect on this captivating tale, may it inspire us to embrace compassion, navigate life’s challenges with wisdom, and believe in the transformative power of love and redemption. The Dunhuang Grottoes stand as a testament to the rich tapestry of human stories etched in history, inviting us to cherish the enduring lessons embedded in their ancient walls.

Restoring Buddhist Practices, The True Dharma in the Human Realm

linda changLeave a comment

On April 18, 2014, a contest of skills of Buddha-dharma was held at Sanger Temple in the greater Los Angeles area of the United States of America. Rinpoches, dharma masters, and acaryas from the USA, mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries were present. Among them, there were great dharma kings, venerable ones, and great dharma masters who possess uncommon abilities of realization. The master of the contesting stage was Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche (Gong Kang), who is over 70 years old and is one of the four prominent dharma princes. He demonstrated an imposing grandeur and blustered arrogantly. The Contest was presided by Dharma King Gar Tongstan, who is a great holy virtuous one at the level of two Sun-Moon wheels.

The karmic condition of this dharma assembly was induced by a dharma master from Taiwan, whose name is Long Jing. This dharma master brought a highly capable rinpoche whose name is Baizhe Lamu and who had the title of Smiling-Face Fighter in her previous lifetime. They came to America with three laypersons Wang Sixia, Meiling, and Lianying as a group. They proposed to have a contest of dharma with dharma masters at the International Buddhism Sangha Association (IBSA). Dharma masters at IBSA thought they just wanted to have a debate on the Tripitaka and therefore accepted their proposal without hesitation. However, in addition to debating the sutras, they insisted on having a contest of dharma in the end. Baizhe Lamu stated that the purpose of the contest was to publicize the dharma and benefit living beings. Dharma Master Long Jing said that after winning the contest and returning to Taiwan they would look for a great dharma king and other great dharma masters and great laypersons to contest the dharma, because Baizhe Lamu would like to meet with them and learn each other’s realization of cultivation to see who is superior after all. When they were paying respect to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in person, Baizhe Lamu’s speech and conduct showed her gaffes of arrogance and ignorance.

Coincidentally at that time, Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche from China was in the United States. This rinpoche was fond of dharma contest even when in China. Through contesting with many famous dharma kings and venerable ones, he never met anyone who was a good match to him. After coming to America, he looked everywhere for superior persons for contesting. He declared that there was not even one dharma king or venerable one in China who could be a good match for him, and that dharma kings, dharma masters, and great laypersons in Taiwan could not withstand a single blow of his. Therefore, he came to America to find superior persons for contesting. Because of this, his Buddha Master H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III seriously scolded him, “Your cultivation is only skin deep and very laughable. You must clearly understand that learning Buddhism requires cultivating patience, severing attachment to the self, and applying the bodhicitta of great compassion to benefit living beings. You should read and understand Expounding the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra to know the true dharma and the absolute truth. Showing one’s strength and pursuing winning runs counter to the undertaking of learning Buddhism and cultivation. Manifesting miraculous abilities to prove one’s power of cultivation is nothing other than playing with untrue illusions. Doing so can only produce one more actor or magician.”

At that time, Gong Kang nodded with obedience, “Yes! Yes!” Afterwards, he still did all he could to look for opponents to make appointments of contesting. He even said, “Many people who are learning from the sutras not only could not understand the sutras but also had hollow and wrong comprehension. That is why they do not have true Buddha–dharma and dare not contest with the dharma. Without comparing each other’s’ dharma through contesting, how can living beings be reminded not to be deceived by false holy ones and false Buddha-dharma?” Because he had won every fight so far, he was naturally indulged in self-pride and arrogance.

At the time, he met with the team of Baizhe Lamu Rinpoche, Dharma Master Longjing, and others. After a debate of sutras, the battle of contesting the dharma finally began on April 18!

Baizhe Lamu Rinpoche didn’t dare to engage in a one-on-one fight with Gong Kang. All five of the team joined force to participate in the match using the dharma of Kuan Yin. They climbed onto the stage and launched an imposing momentum. With focused concentration, they applied mudras and mantras. Their roars were swinging within the Hall of Three Holy Beings, demonstrating an all-out effort striving for winning. Gong Kang heightened his vigilance and responded cautiously. He practiced the dharma of Four-Armed Kuan Yin to fight back. A fierce battle was fought between the two sides with mental power, spirit, and crisscrossed movement. Additionally, with the karmadana shouting loudly to announce the battling field situation, the atmosphere was bustling and tense. Attacking mudras applied silently in unison created a scene of fighting as if sharp and flickering weapons were intercrossing. It was really an unprecedented great battle of dharma contest. Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche truly deserved the status of one of the four prominent dharma princes. He fought bravely by himself against five in a very hard battle. In the end, Gong Kang applied the Besieging-God Battle Position to have all his five opponents tightly confined, unable to move, and thereby defeated.

In the second match, the two parties switched sides and roles. The losing party in the previous match was to confine and tie up the winning party. All five joined forces in the fighting. With an imposing manner and a sweating effort, they moved forward together with an extremely mighty power to practice the dharma to try to besiege and seize Gong Kang. Spectators at the scene were all holding their breath tightly. At this time of heavy contesting, Gong Kang chanted the Six-Character Great Bright Mantra to practice the dharma of Horsehead Vajra Armor (Horsehead Vajra is a manifestation of Kuan Yin Bodhisattva) as counter-attack. Then the five opponents were unable to defend themselves and were thrown off the stage by Gong Kang. The karmadana declared victory for Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche, and the surrounding audience gave a loud applause.

Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche in the contest

Gong Kang was very arrogant and put up an air of pride. He suddenly made a hand gesture to invite Great Dharma Master Zhengda who was present to contest with Buddha-dharma for learning from each other. Dharma Master Zhengda was unable to decline and had to step on the stage. In their earlier years, Jianggong Kangqing and Shi Zhengda were dharma brother and sister. They both are disciples of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. However, Gong Kang was not happy to see this fellow sister taking the highest position of chief abbot at IBSA and being revered as a superior one. Therefore, he thought it was a good time to teach her a lesson on that day. That was why he invited her to contest the dharma in front of others. This arrogant act of Gong Kang scared the venerable ones and dharma masters who were present. Their hearts were trembling due to fear and they were afraid of being called by Gong Kang for contesting. It could be seen that, except Dharma King Gar Tongstan and Venerable Long Zhi Denma Tsemang, people in high ranks all lowered their heads and dared not to face Gong Kang’s eyesight.

Master Zhengda in the contest

Right after Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche and Dharma Master Zhengda walked onto the stage, Gong Kang sneered with an air of pride and gave an arrogant statement, “You will not keep me still.” Zhengda replied, “I will besiege you and will not let you move.” The two fellow brother and sister started a verbal exchange before contesting the dharma. Later, they sat down facing each other along the north-south direction and both practiced the dharma of Kuan Yin to contest. The two entered deep concentration and manifested their dharma powers. Spectators were greatly impressed. For a long time, they fought to a match of draw without showing who could overpower the other. However, eventually the outcome could only be one defeating the other. Upon seeing Gong Kang’s extraordinary power, Dharma Master Zhengda used Kuan Yin’s dharma of Pure-Water Bottle in combination with the God-Besieging Rope. At that time, Gong Kang was tied up and captured. He was powerless and unable to move his limbs. Therefore, Dharma Master Zhengda won the first match.

They switched side to start the second match. Suffering this defeat had a great impact to Gong Kang’s record. He could never have imagined that Dharma Master Zhengda had truly became one with superior realization and was so great. Now he had to use his highest secretive method of Besieging-God Battle Position. That was truly powerful and had Dharma Master Zhengda bounded up. She was trembling all over her body and her body was as cold as ice. At this time, Dharma Master Zhengda unexpectedly used the dharma of Kuan Yin’s Pure-Water Bottle Willow-Branch Breaking Siege. Her voice of chanting the Six-Character Great Bright mantra sounded like rotating pearls and she was quickly revived. Gong Kang’s God-Besieging formation became seriously disorganized and he lost his power of concentration. Dharma Master Zhengda then made a punch to knock him off the stage. Because Gong Kong had spoken arrogantly before in public, this defeat made him very embarrassed. The Karmadana then announced, “Dharma Master Zhengda won and becomes the champion of the dharma contest.”

However, Gong Kang strongly disagreed. He said that the referee had judged erroneously, and asked for having another match of “Viewing the Realm and Exiting the Samsara” with Dharma Master Zhengda. Dharma Master Zhengda did not want to have another dharma contest with him, but Gong Kong insisted. Therefore, this big battle was fought on April 20. The battleground was a grassy lawn, with a very big piece of cubic cordierite. This is a mani stone used by a great holy virtuous one to practice the dharma. After the referee Dharma Master Long Hui sprinkled the pure soil that was empowered by an extremely great holy virtuous one onto the mani stone, the two fighters sat away from the huge stone by about three meters. Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche started first to practice the dharma of Four-Armed Kuan Yin. He practiced 15 rounds of the mantra and the mudra, but was unable to push the mani stone into movement across the separation of empty space.

Next it was Dharma Master Zhengda’s turn in the contest. She also practiced the dharma of Four-Armed Kuan Yin. With three rounds of the mantra and the mudra, the mani stone was pushed to move across the separation of empty space. Then, after Dharma Master Zhengda, Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche, and Dharma Master Long Hui prostrated to the mani stone to pay homage, the mani stone suddenly flew to the sky and disappeared in the sea of clouds. They were all stunned so as to be speechless. It was not known which extremely great holy virtuous one did this. Everyone could only utter exclamation and praise of surprise! The realization power of doing this is hundreds or thousands of times greater than the power of a female great rinpoche from Tibet who let a big mani stone circling around her in the empty space in 2002. The weight of this mani stone that flew to and disappeared in the sky was not exactly known. It was estimated to be about two tons heavy. Actually, weight is not the issue. Even making a pillow fly to the sky would be a world-shocking miracle.

Now, the referee announced that the dharma contest of “Viewing the Realm and Exiting the Samsara” was to begin. After the two had a conversation, Gong Kang still insisted on having the contest. Then they sat facing each other with a far distance in between to begin the dharma contest. According to the rules of the contest, Gong Kang was to besiege Dharma Master Zhengda. On the other hand, Dharma Master Zhengda had to exit samsara to win. Each of them practiced the dharma of the Tathagata to engage quickly in the battle. After only two encounters, Dharma Master Zhengda used Green Tara’s dharma of Breaking Siege by Bodhicitta of Great Compassion to break open Gong Kang’s iron peripheral surrounding of the Besieging-God Battle Position. In a moment, she started from the mandala of samsara and went through the outer court of the Tusita Heaven. After looking and verifying a few times, she quickly found the right direction and directly approached the siddhi of Bodhisattva. After arriving there, she stayed firmly unperturbed. Referee Long Hui who is IBSA’s chairperson was full of praises for her. The host of this dharma contest Great Dharma King Gar Tongstan announced, “Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche was defeated. Dharma Master Zhengda exited samsara and won the victory. She is the champion of this contest.” The meaning of this one-to-one dharma contest is even more profound than the previous one. For details, readers can watch the live video recording of the contest.

Since ancient times, debating sutras has existed in Buddhism as a preliminary form of dharma contest. This belongs to the theoretical aspect of Buddhism. After practitioners’ cultivation and conduct reached the state of manifesting true utilization and realization, dharma contest is used as the main method of distinguishing whether one belongs to hollow theory only and appraising one’s realization for the purpose of benefiting living beings.

The earliest dharma contest in Buddhism was between two disciples of Sakyamuni Buddha, Shariputra who took the first-place in wisdom and Mahamaudgalyayana who was regarded as the best in supernatural power. Shariputra won the contest. Other examples of dharma contest in history include:

  • Baltsa Takdelwa (who later became a disciple of Dusongchienba) looked for Dusongchienba (the first-generation Great Jewel Dharma King of the Kyagu Sect) to have a dharma contest, but was defeated by a disciple of Dusongchienba.
  • Karma Pakshi (the second-generation Great Jewel Dharma King of the Kyagu Sect) lost to Chojal Pakpa in a dharma contest at the Mongolian Palace.
  • A dharma contest between Zhaguo Longjue Songmou Rinpoche (from Songzhanling Temple in Shangri-La) and Naizhang Qujiong of Lasa.
  • A dharma contest between the 13th Dalai Lama and the abbot of Kumbum Monastery Agya Rinpoche recorded in history that can be found on the internet.

During the last several hundred years, however, it became rare to see dharma contests between eminent monks. This is because true Buddha-dharmas are becoming extinct. Some rinpoches, dharma masters, and great laypersons who only have hollow theories to write books and give discourses dare not even mention the term “dharma contest.” They are afraid that their disciples would know the thing of dharma contest that can prove one’s true power of cultivation. They fear that their disciples would see the fact that their master can only talk about hollow and erroneous theories and therefore does not have Buddha-dharma. That is why the recorded stories of eminent monks contesting their dharma in the past have almost been completely wiped out within a short period of time. Today, Jianggong Kangqing Rinpoche, Baizhe Lamu Rinpoche, Dharma Master Long Jing, and others are fond of contesting with Buddha-dharma. Their deeds are opposed by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. However, looking from a different angle, what they did does have boundless merit. Otherwise, the stories of holy virtuous ones contesting the dharma in the history of Buddhism would have completely disappeared without a trace. Then Buddhism would only be left with theories. Consequently false rinpoches and false dharma masters who have no understanding in the sutras could freely create and teach erroneous theories without having to prove with real Buddha-dharma. Therefore, we should thank the people who contest with Buddha-dharma on the stage. They proved the real existence of true Buddha-dharma and wrote the fact “Buddhism is not just talking about hollow theories” into the history of Buddha-dharma.

Zero Limits: Clearing Negative Energy, Returning to Perfect Emptiness

The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More

In 1984, a therapist in Hawaii achieved remarkable results over three years, healing mentally ill patients at the Hawaii State Hospital without resorting to clinical counseling or medication. Reviewing their records, he repeatedly recited four phrases to “clear” himself: “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.”

This extraordinary tale intrigued Mr. Vitale, inspiring him to seek out this extraordinary therapist and learn from him. Vitale discovered that Dr. Hew Len employed these four sentences as part of a traditional Hawaiian healing technique known as “Hooponopono,” which translates to “to correct, to clear, to make right” in Hawaiian.

This method not only restored the health of mentally ill patients but also miraculously cured a woman who had suffered from asthma for 50 years overnight. Can four sentences really resolve all problems? Smooth out everything?

These four affirmations have the power to clear all negative energy, balance emotions, and enable you to return to the divine state of “zero limits” (a state of returning to zero, also known as emptiness in Buddhist philosophy, where nothing exists, and anything is possible). By embracing these four phrases, you can face your life more freely and elegantly, leading to health, wealth, and joy.

By approaching each day with an unrestricted perspective, repeating these four sentences concerning your mind, subconscious, experiences, people, and encountered problems with a sincere, repentant, and grateful heart, you will learn to love yourself, forgive yourself, and appreciate yourself. This practice will lead you to live a more fulfilling, wise, and abundant life.

Let us not only refrain from complaining but also say, “I love you!”

What is the Zero Limits method?

It’s straightforward—just four sentences: “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.”

What do these four sentences represent? In simple terms:

“I’m sorry”: Acknowledge 100% responsibility for what has happened (because everything is created by oneself).

“Please forgive me”: Request forgiveness (forgive oneself).

“Thank you”: Express gratitude, show trust, and believe that all problems will be resolved in the best way for everyone involved.

“I love you”: Invoke the power of divinity to clear related memories and heal all wounds.

Although these four sentences in Ho’oponopono therapy are simple, they encompass profound states and meanings. This is a convenient method that can be used at any time during our spiritual growth journey, transcending various spiritual practices.

How to use this method? It’s straightforward—whenever you encounter a problem, simply keep repeating these sentences (there’s no need to rush into belief or doubt; give it a try).

Fundamental Theory of Zero Limits:

You are not aware of what is happening.

Whether consciously or unconsciously, it is impossible to be aware of everything happening within and around you. At this very moment, your body and brain are self-adjusting without your conscious awareness. Countless invisible signals are transmitted through the air, from radio waves to thoughts and consciousness. All of this occurs unconsciously, and your consciousness is not aware of nor in control of this process. This is why you can think positively but still face challenges. In essence, you must understand that your consciousness is not the true creator of everything.

You cannot control everything

If you are unaware of what is happening, you certainly cannot control it. Believing that the world follows your commands is merely a manifestation of satisfying the desires of the ego. Since your ego cannot completely comprehend what is happening in the world, allowing the ego to decide what is best for you is obviously unwise. You can make choices, but you cannot control. You can use your consciousness to choose what you want to experience, but you must also learn to let go and not worry about how or when it will happen; surrender is the key.

You can heal everything that happens.

Regardless of what appears in your life and how it comes about, it requires healing. Because it is now within your perception, if you can feel it, you can heal it. If you see it in others and it troubles you, you must heal it. You may not understand why it appeared in your life or how it happened, but you can let go now. As you have become aware of it, the more you heal, the simpler it becomes to manifest your desires. By releasing blocked energy, you allow this energy to be used for other things.

You must take 100% responsibility for everything you experience.

The events in your life are not your fault, but they are your responsibility. This responsibility includes everything said, done, and thought, as well as everything said, done, and thought by others appearing in your life. If you take 100% responsibility for everything in your life, then when others have problems, those problems also become yours. In short, you cannot blame anyone or anything for your current situation. All you can do is take responsibility, accept it, embrace it, and love it. The deeper you heal, the more connected you become to the source of life.

The ticket to the state of Zero Limits is saying “I love you.”

To overcome the bottleneck of understanding, to obtain a pass from healing to manifestation, is that simple phrase “I love you.” Saying “I love you” to divinity clears everything within you, allowing you to experience the miracle of “Zero Limits.” The key is to love all things: love the excess fat, love the hidden pain, love the troublesome issues, love children with problems, or love neighbors and partners—in short, love everything. Love transforms and releases blocked energy, and by saying “I love you,” you can experience the power of divinity, just like saying “Open sesame.”

Inspiration is more important than thought.

Thoughts are toys of the mind, while inspiration is a directive from divinity. From a certain point onward, you will surrender and learn to listen instead of begging and waiting. Thought is an attempt by the ego to control life from a limited perspective, while inspiration is a reception of messages from divinity and taking action. Thought yields results, while inspiration produces miracles.

Even if you are not sure what is happening, you can still solve problems.

A part of the purpose of survival is to solve problems. To solve problems, you must first understand: Who am I? Who is actually in charge? The consciousness thinks that intellect is the problem solver, capable of controlling what happens, what one experiences, and when. However, in reality, decisions are made before the consciousness decides, and intellect is unaware of this. If it is not intellect or consciousness, then who is in charge?

It is your subconscious. The subconscious is dominated by replayed memories, and it imitates, repeats, and resonates with these memories. The actions, understanding, feelings, and decisions of the subconscious are entirely dictated by memory. Similarly, consciousness operates through replayed memories without awareness. Therefore, replayed memories dominate everything the subconscious and consciousness experience.

The subconscious is the repository of accumulated memories since the beginning. It constantly replays past memories, and the power of choice that consciousness possesses is the power to choose. Both the subconscious and consciousness do not create their own thoughts, feelings, or actions; rather, their experiences resonate with replayed memories and inspirations.

To solve problems, it is crucial to understand that the physical body and the world itself are not the issue; the problem lies in the replayed memories within the subconscious.

A Bhikkhuni Who Appears Once in a Century

Venerable Shi ZhengDa Jiaozun

Throughout the ages, in the pursuit of happiness, countless individuals have renounced worldly life to engage in spiritual practice. Monks and nuns who have shaved their heads and taken vows can be seen wandering in the secular world. People become monastics for various reasons, including pressure from material needs, family discord, social conflicts, life hardships, or a desire to seek liberation from the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Some renounce the worldly life to transcend desires, cultivate spiritual practices, and embark on the path to enlightenment. However, those who renounce a life of wealth, family, and worldly pleasures to become monastics are extremely rare.

Modern figures like Venerable Xuyun, Master Hongyi, Master Nenghai, and Master Longlian are typical examples of genuine monastics. Their renunciation was wholeheartedly directed towards the Buddha, without worldly attachments. When they made the decision to become monastics, their minds were solely focused on Buddha and Bodhisattvas, despite their flourishing family lives, prosperity, talents, and widespread respect. They left their homes without any attachments, not even informing their families. Suddenly, they abandoned their comfortable lives and became ascetics in the temples. Such individuals are rare, occurring perhaps once in several decades.

However, today, there is a Bhikshuni (Buddhist nun) who has renounced the world in an extraordinary way, captivating people’s hearts. She was originally known as Renbo Rinpoche, with the Dharma name “Awangdeji,” and held some reputation in Chinese Buddhist circles. She had centers in over twenty provinces in China, and her organization had a presence in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Wherever she went, male and female disciples welcomed her with reverence. Despite her prosperous personal business, she decided to renounce her worldly life.

Twenty years ago, she practiced the Sakya tradition but found no progress in her path. Seeking guidance, she turned to the profound teachings of the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Within a year, she completed her studies and realized that her previous practice was a common worldly path accessible to everyone, not true Buddhist teachings. In 2011, after rigorous examinations, she obtained certificates of realization that many other high lamas could not attain.

Her dedication, compassion, and influence attracted jealousy and rumors from some ordinary practitioners. However, Awangdeji Rinpoche bore no resentment, remaining calm and patient, even praising those who spread rumors. In response to societal criticisms, the International Buddhist Sangha Association sought an objective assessment from the United International World Buddhist Headquarters. After a solemn examination, she was praised by seventeen examiners for her moral virtues and realization.

During the examination, when Awangdeji Rinpoche’s consciousness soared, she personally saw Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, fulfilling a vow made to Avalokiteshvara. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she immediately renounced worldly life. Without her family’s knowledge, she underwent tonsure in Lianfeng Temple, Taiwan, adopting the Dharma name “Zhengda.” She relinquished all worldly wealth and family joy, untainted by the six dusts, transcending the ordinary and entering the realm of the holy.

On December 12th, 2012, a Assembly was held to bestow the initiation of “Selection Made in Dark Confinement from One-Hundred Dharmas to Choose the Door toward Enlightenment” upon Dharma Master Zhengda. This Assembly concluded that Dharma Master Zhengda was a reincarnated holy one and a trusted aide of the Tara. Her status of the dharma was extremely high, at the upper level representing the summit of esoteric Buddhism.

On May 25, 2013, Master Zhengda was honored with the Grand Cross of Humanitarian Merit by the Spanish Humanitarian Merit Association. This award, established and presented by the association, is specifically given to international figures who have made outstanding contributions to promoting world peace, advocating for humanitarian equality, and excelling in public administration, education, arts, charity, and other fields.

After receiving the sacred inner tantric initiation from H.H.  Dorje Chang Buddha III, she experienced a remarkable transformation, surpassing ordinary spiritual attainments and delving into profound realms. The International World Buddhist Headquarters at October 25th, 2019 officially acknowledges her as a JiaoZun (Golden Button Stage II), having successfully passed examination conducted and validated by about twenty buddhist masters and monastics. She stands as an embellishment to Buddhism, a virtuous teacher, and a refuge for sentient beings.

ZhengDa Jiaozun is currently the Vice President of the World Buddhist Headquarters, concurrently serving as the Honorary Chairman of the International Buddhist Sangha and the abbot of many temples worldwide. Presently, she resides at the Holy Miracle Temple in Los Angeles and the Benevolence Temple in Las Vegas.
