INTRODUCTION
Masters, fellow cultivators, good afternoon. This gathering today
is extremely auspicious and important. In a way, it marks the first
formal use of Rainbow Villa, with many more regularly scheduled
programs to come in the future. The goal of this discourse is to
give you a complete and detailed exposition on the practice of the
True Buddha Tantric Dharma. I will share with you, without holding
anything back, the secrets as well as the skills which I have learned
from doing this practice. Through this sharing, I hope everyone
will obtain a clear and thorough understanding of how to do the
practice and follow in my footsteps.
There is a need to give this complete and detailed exposition on
the Dharma, because we have now 1.2 million students in our school
and this number is still growing. When a Dharma is passed from one
person to the next and then from the next to the third and so on,
some of the elements will start changing, and the practice itself
will become quite different from what it was originally. It is my
hope that all students can have a clear understanding of how to
do the practice correctly and, by practicing it accordingly, everyone
can arrive at a high level of achievement and experience an expansion
of their awareness and perception and, eventually, attain Buddhahood.
This is the most important reason for giving this teaching.
Actually Tantric Dharma itself can be considered a Truth of the
Universe. When one practices the authentic Tantric Dharma, one will
definitely attain the Supreme Wisdom. There are many key elements
to the practice, and omission of any of them will not do. In the
past I have, of course, attempted to explain these quite thoroughly
in my books, but some of the details were not easy to explain in
written form. It is possible that, with all of the students who
practice according to my books, some might derive a different interpretation
from the written texts and thus miss the mark. Therefore, the main
goal of this discourse over the next several days is to provide
you with a complete and detailed exposition on the authentic Tantric
Dharma.
