"Exoteric Application of Esoteric Dharma" chuan cheng: This chuan cheng was propagated by the Indian ancestral master the Great Holy Jewel Holy Ancestor Holy Vimalakirti, who followed the Buddha's intent and took multiple controls of the Universe. Therefore, Holy Tantra Esoteric Buddhism calls this chuan cheng the Indian ancestral master Holy Ancestor Vimalakirti chuan cheng. Holy ancestor Holy Vimalakirti was a Buddha who disseminated Dharma to benefit all beings at the same time as the Great Sage Sakyamuni Buddha. The two revered Buddhas both performed on the same stage of the "great show of deliverance of sentient beings." Holy ancestor Holy Vimalakirti's sacred deeds of disseminating the path have been fully disclosed in the holy scripture the Vimalakirti Sutra, which is honoured by both Exoteric and Esoteric Buddhism. According to the holy revelation of the Old Dharma Lord, when the Root Patron Buddha, the Great Sage Sakyamuni Buddha, dwelled in this world, He personally demonstrated the process of transforming from mundane to holiness in His attaining Buddhahood. With self enlightenment and awakening others, perfect enlightenment practice, and teaching and remolding the Sangha as the foundation, He emphasized disseminating the teachings to all common beings. At the same time He taught Exoteric and Esoteric Buddhism, and simultaneously disseminated the three vehicles of "Hinayana, Mahayana, and Tantrayana Buddhism." The above holy revelation of the Old Dharma Lord is quite different from the supposedly historical "textual research results" of the general scholars. On opening it up to the public, controversy would seem inevitable. Therefore, before announcing it to the world and before the conditions mature, we should have adequate internal discussion. The Old Dharma Lord gave further holy revelation: "When the Root Patron Buddha, the Great Sage Sakyamuni Buddha, disseminated the teachings, He employed the convenience of 'Hina revealed, Maha concealed, and Tantra secret'." Therefore, the Vairocana Sutra indicates: "Bodhicitta (mind for enlightenment) as cause, mahakaruna (great compassion) as root foundation, upaya as the supreme truth." We should deeply appreciate this. The Vairocana Sutra also begins with "Thus I heard." This proves that the Foremost of Hearing, the Holy Ancestor Ananda, was an important witness to the Buddha's disseminating Tantra. The Holy Ancestor Ananda is also an important practitioner of Buddha's Esoteric Dharma and teachings. He disseminated Esoteric Buddhism on behalf of His teacher. Thus, the Holy Ancestor Ananda is also one of the Indian holy ancestors within the all generations ancestral masters chuan cheng lineage system of Holy Tantra Esoteric Buddhism. According to the teachings of the Great Holy Jewel Old Dharma Lord Jing-Wu: Ananda and Kasyapa, according to the recording of related holy scriptures (omitted), these two holy beings are still dwelling and travelling widely in this world to propagate Tantra. Furthermore, Rahula, the Foremost in Esoteric Practice, and Holy Ancestor Vimalakirti who is in command of multiple total controls of the Universe, travel unhindered in various time space, attain wonderfully transcendent realms, deliver countless sentient beings, and demonstrate holy deeds, in order to elevate the quality of life of Tantric practitioners. The space-time transcending benevolent and compassionate deeds and practice of holy ancestors have revealed the utmost ultimate concern for human life. |
