The following article is a slightly modified version of an article published in 2004 on the inner tantric Dharma Wheel Initiation I received that year. There is another article posted below where a fellow disciple received a similar initiation from the Vajra Wheel at the “Ultimate Bathing the Buddha Dharma Assembly” earlier that year that may help you understand what happened.
Dharma Wheel Initiation Given
Although this was a high level inner tantric initiation and as such cannot be publicly discussed or shared with others in detail, an exception was made to allow me to briefly tell others of my experience so that they can learn of the true power of the magnificent Buddha-dharma. A ritual was performed for me to remove certain negative karma that served as an obstacle to my achievement of liberation. After the dharma protecting deities arrived and the the Buddha-dharma was practiced, the Vajra Dharma Wheel quickly exhibited samadhi. Very quickly, I screamed–the impact was very intense, but in that same moment I also realized the truth of the Buddha-dharma. Although there was intense feeling–greater than anything I had ever experienced before–there was also no-feeling. I realized the emptiness of that magical experience while at the same time experiencing it. It was explained that this experience was a precursor to the realization of the dharmakaya.
I understood how my Buddha Master and other enlightened beings could accomplish their amazing feats. Although there are no words to adequately describe this experience, it was a glimpse of the dharmakaya–the truth of the universe! This is what is meant by “form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.” Living in this pure state, if only for a moment and through the power of my Buddha Master, I understood that the dharmakaya is everywhere. There was no place that is not the dharmakaya. This is what enlightened beings experience or realize at all times; as a result, they can do anything! All things are inherently empty and at the same time contain the potentiality of all things! This realization exists while living in this mundane world…….and, it exists for all sentient beings! We all have the inherent nature of a Buddha.
The initiation caused me not only to eliminate certain obstacles, but also reinforced my resolve to practice and help others to learn the true Buddha-dharma. I understood the necessity of obtaining inner tantric initiations from a true vajra master if one wants to achieve enlightenment in this lifetime! Only a true vajra master can summon the dharma protecting deities and communicate directly with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to perform this sort of powerful ritual! Only a true vajra master can manifest the awesome power of the true Buddha-dharma. My master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, is such a master! Zhaxi Zhuoma.
CLICK for article that appeared in the Asian Journal in 2004 offering an “Analysis of the Various Holy States that Appeared at the Ultimate Form of Bathing the Buddha Dharma Assembly.where the samadhi fire is also exhibited in the third example. There are other media articles of this event that even had photos of the Rinpoche chest after he received this amazing Dharma.
