Important Replies from Holy Virtuous Ones and Eminent Monastics
—— Answer 29
On Day 29 of the Lunar New Year
Since you know that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have great loving-kindness and great compassion, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, of course, will be responsible for the practice of cultivation and Dharma. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas classify both Buddha Dharma and cultivation into two types: holy and mundane. Even for the same dharma practice or cultivation practice, if the Yidam does not arrive at the scene and give approval in the Determination by Holy Selection, the dharma or the cultivation is mundane. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not responsible for worldly dharma or cultivation practice. They only bear responsibility for the holy dharmas and cultivation that have been approved in a Determination by Holy Selection, not for any non-holy dharma or cultivation practice. All holy dharma or cultivation practice cannot be changed by even one sentence. If there is any alteration, the Yidam will not be responsible for it. That dharma or cultivation will immediately become mundane dharma or cultivation and may even become evil dharma.
