The Level Identification of Buddhist Holiness
Translated on Lazen's Article
1, 2
Today, Lazen pull in the authentic Dharma in accordance with justice to address the main force of Vajra bills assessment. This clearly tells people a variety of saint’s level. Hope it establish the correct views and helps cultivated person.
 
Buddhist Arhat:
There are four Fruit achieved by Śrāvaka and Pratyeka. Beginning Fruit is śrota-āpanna. The second Fruit sakrdāgāmin, the third Fruit Anāgāmin, and the fourth Fruit Arhatship also named Pratyeka-buddha.
Arhat Vajra power is recognized as awaking Vajra power fibrillation. Vajra pill attach to the surface of ground or object surface and is also covered with a transparent bowl. However, Vajra pill is able to vibrate at its own walk within transparent bowl.
The achieved Fruit stage can be judged on strength of state of Vajra power fibrillation.
This is Arhat’s realization. Arhats are not Bodhisattvas. If they brag themselves Bodhisattva, Arhats are at crime of making big lie. Arhats can be named as Saints, or ones well-known, but they are not great Holiness.
 
Bodhisattva:
There are a total of ten stages for Bodhisattva. The beginning Pramuditā, joy at having overcome the former difficulties and now entering on the path to Buddhahood; second Vimalā, freedom from all possible defilement, the stage of purity; Third Prabhākarī, stage of further enlightenment; fourth Arciṣmatī, of glowing wisdom; fifth Sudurjayā, mastery of utmost or final difficulties; sixth Abhimukhī, the open way of wisdom above definitions of impurity and purity; seventh Dūraṁgamā, proceeding afar, getting above ideas of self in order to save others; eighth Acalā, attainment of calm unperturbedness; ninth Sādhumatī, of the finest discriminatory wisdom, knowing where and how to save, and possessed of the ten powers; tenth Dharmamegha, attaining to the fertilizing powers of the law-cloud.
Bodhisattva Vajra power is recognized as agitating Vajra power. Bodhisattvas command Vajra pill move and dance when Vajra pill is put in their hands. Vajra pill in a bowl must be vacated on their own to leave the surface of the surface or object. The Vajra power of Bodhisattva must suspend Vajra pill flight up and down on its own circle, speed it fast, but it often do not touch the bowl wall.
High and low stage of Bodhisattva can be judged via the strength of the state of Vajra power movement, fast or slow speed and trajectory changes.
Bodhisattvas are Holiness of course.
 
Mahāsattva:
Mahāsattva is Eleventh or Twelfth stage Bodhisattva.
Mahāsattva Vajra power is recognized an unhindered movement. Vajra power pill can not only fly on its own shuttle spinner, but penetrate sealed bowl fly a trace after a moment. It immediately goes outside the bowl and access to Mandala figure central of tenth stage and above Bodhisattva without damaging bowl.
Such evidence shows, in a matter of course, great Bodhisattva is Holiness. But they may not necessarily true great Mahāsattva who must show the Vajra power of penetrating stone to setup Altar. This is mandatory or they are not great Mahāsattva.
Statutory standards are listed above. The achievements of Fruit stage is corresponding to the stage of Vajra power. The movement of Vajra power pill does correspond to the stage of achievements. There is no more or less. This is the causal nature to determine stage of achievements.
Lay people should remember that we are at the ending period of Buddha Dharma. There is very few Holiness or Bodhisattva. Dharma Selection should be deemed in accordance with the correct regulations. You should think it over and over. Great Bodhisattva or Holiness titles are not compliment terms of courtesy. They cannot hit anyone without true identification process. Doing it can commit the crime of self-superiority to Dharma. While those who have no realization of great Bodhisattva or Holiness accept corresponding title without fearing of shame and even openly say they are certain to take great Bodhisattva title, then these people commit the rules or laws of big lie and even mislead living beings. These people will bear Fruit of Vajra hell if they are Saint. While these will bear Fruit of The avīci or unintermitted hell if they are ordinary people.
Of course, it is necessary to address the scenario which some Dharma teachers or Rinpoche hold of modesty restrained, grand virtues, and great compassion. Though they fail to show significant inaccuracies Vajra power, they are true well-known person or sage Monk. They are also a model for living beings to learn. In fact, it is not very easy to be a well-known person or sage Monk who lead people to learn Dharma discourse via their moral purity. This has been infinite merit. Some people do not satisfy to be a person well-known or sage Monk. They want themselves to be great Bodhisattvas. Although this is a good thing to be Bodhisattva, you eventually achieve Bodhisattva via purified practice. Bodhisattva and Holiness title are not commercials similar to business advertise. You must meet the required statutory of Vajra Pill realization. You cannot simply name yourself. You do not deserve the title without qualification. Not to mention the ordinary person are not be qualified, many of today’s world-class H.H. great Bodhisattva, H.E. Bodhisattva, and even known as the Venerable, in fact, do not hold the title with true capability. Many H.H. great Bodhisattvas are even not qualified to Venerable title because they are not in the evidence of the Arhat Fruit. Strictly they may not even reach the standard of well known person. Let me cite an example for you to have a better understanding. The Dharma king Mindrolling Trichen at Nyingma is in the long time dream of Yoga, very few can match the realization of Dharma King Mindrolling Trichen within whole Tibetan Buddhism today. However, Dharma King Mindrolling Trichen is a reincarnation of Venerable Ananda. With this comparison, you can weight your own capability. The Dharma King Mindrolling Trichen at Nyingma is just Arhat. How can you brag yourself Bodhisattva or Holiness?
Cultivate yourselves! Do not pretend like large vanity. There is a proverb in northern China named: without diamond, do not involve porcelain work. Marked to show the self-talk or just for the sake of your profits, you claimed yourselves great Bodhisattva or Holiness. In fact, you do not own wisdom and ability of great Bodhisattva or Holiness at all. This will drive yourselves and your disciples to the hell. Please be caution!
 
Note: Vajra hell is the place where Vajra seed saints are suffering because they are against rules or laws. This place is different from The avīci or unintermitted hell. The avīci or unintermitted hell is the place where ordinary person are suffering. They are transferred to six reincarnation realms when they complete suffering. While Vajra seed saints complete the suffering in Vajra hell, they keep the saint level, realization and supernatural power. However, suffering in Vajra hell is not inferior to the avīci or unintermitted hell, and it is very hard.
