Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi addressed the pilgrims who attended the Buddha's Birthday Convention:
Shakyamuni Buddha left a prophecy for the people of this world: that in a Western country, atop a snowy mountain, there would be a Guru like the Buddha himself—one who spreads the Three Vehicles of Yoga Dharma and expounds the Great Perfection Vajrayana.
Why does Shakyamuni Buddha's Dharma still exist in this world? Because it is the Truth. It shows all of humanity the illuminated path of Nirvana. This path of Nirvana is a road of freedom, where one can come and go without hindrance, safeguard oneself, and attain well-being. Those who are unwell understand best the importance of health.
Everyone desires longevity. Regardless of one's religious belief, everyone needs health. In Guang Huan Mi Zong, as long as you practice the Dharma taught by Ziguang Shang Shi, you may greatly reduce the risk of illness, or even avoid sickness altogether.
In the Dharma Vanishing Era, health is the foremost treasure. Without health, everything else becomes meaningless. Even if one is wealthy, powerful, a president, or even a king—it is all valueless without health. What, then, is truly valuable? Health is the greatest value. For this reason, Shakyamuni Buddha secretly transmitted the Great Perfection Esoteric Dharma to his 1,250 disciples. "Secretly" means it belongs to the esoteric tradition. Why must it be taught in secret? Because in this world, there are many good people, but there are also many who are not…
Today, millions of people suffer from illness. Thus, Shakyamuni Buddha entrusted Ziguang Shang Shi and 1,250 disciples to help those in need. But how can people be led to believe? They may first try the Dharma themselves. For beginners, we have a Dharma practice called One Day Zen, which allows them to experience it firsthand. If they find it truly effective, they may then proceed to study the advanced levels of Dharma.
