Buddhist disciples, it’s time you wake up your mind. You can say that any Dharma masters, rinpoches, or any masters propagating Buddhism want to control you for the sake of their own interest. You might say that even though it may not be entirely true. If you say that Dorje Chang Buddha III controls you, that is correct. I do control you. Listen clearly. Because when every person, every Buddha or Bodhisattva wants to do something, there must be a purpose. When I do something, I also have my purpose. What is my purpose? I tell you very clearly: My purpose is to control and restrain the evil side of you, so that you can turn your evil views into good karma. Your evil views are your habituations, and conduct of your body, speech and mind that is harmful to people and living beings. The purpose is for you to stay far away from negative karma, and welcome good karma into your life so that you will have perfect good fortune and wisdom, and attain accomplishment and liberation. This is my purpose.
What do I gain from that? What I gain is completely different from what all the other masters or Dharma masters gain. At the very least, they seek merit, offerings from disciples, or personal benefits from propagating Dharma, setting up mandalas, building monasteries, temples, or Dharma centers. What I seek is just the opposite. What I want to do for all Buddhists is to enable you to correct your viewpoints about your own bad habits. For this purpose, what I get in return is staying here until two, three, or four o’clock in the morning. I receive people at the other Mandala during the day and come here in the evening. I am utterly exhausted. There is no falsehood in what I say. You hear me, monastics. Sometimes, I say sometimes, the monastics don’t even prepare any food for me. Sometimes, I work tirelessly until after 3am and I am exhausted, I just drink some water at that time of the night and that’s all. That is a fact.
My purpose is to enable you to stop developing your bad habits and turn those into good karma, for you to become a good person, attain accomplishment and liberation and eventually become a holy person. What I get in return is exhaustion, and suffering. I don’t even accept an offering of one penny. I don’t want any benefit. This is what I gain from having such a purpose. Disciples, there is only one such person in the world and that is me. There is no other.
(Members of the congregation put their palms together and respectfully reply: Yes.)
This is a fact. Could anyone be that stupid? You might think: “How stupid and without wisdom Dorje Chang Buddha III is, getting Himself so exhausted yet still wanting to give of His utmost.” I am not doing it for my own sake. I am giving it for all the Buddhists. I am giving you all the benefits and picking up all the torment for myself. Disciples, have you thought about this? Could Dorje Chang Buddha III be that stupid? No! I am very clear about this. I don’t have to care about you at all. I don’t have to receive any people at all. I could be free and relaxed, travel around the world, totally enjoy myself and become indulgent. I could be very happy. Why do I come here straining my voice speaking to you? Why?
Some evil persons say, “You see, this is how Dorje Chang Buddha III is controlling us. He does so much Buddhist work in order to control us. That day, He gave us holy amrita pills 甘露丸. Aren’t those holy amrita pills used for controlling us?”
Speaking from a different perspective, what do I control you for? Controlling you only brings misfortune and suffering to me. To put it bluntly, if not for having the mindset of Dorje Chang Buddha III, I wouldn’t bother wasting my effort! Why do I want to control you and bring myself misfortune? Am I right?
(Members of the congregation put their palms together and respectfully reply: Yes.)
The crucial thing is I have not taken anything from you. You must understand this.
