Wangzha Shangzun Manifested Vajra Power (Revised)

Wangzha Shangzun as Nick Best on his strongman channel reveals what happened to him when he tried to lift the Buddha Vajra Pestle (Scepter) at the Holy Miracles Temple. Other articles about this great holy being are also provided as background. The link to a video of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III lifting the weight that Nick Best (Bestman) mentions in the following video can be found below. I attended a special Dharma Assembly over a year ago (the last time I saw the Buddha Master in Pasadena) when that video was filmed, but was just able to see the video recently. I can verify that I witnessed three western strongmen unsuccessfully try to lift three different weights including the Buddha Vajra Pestle, while the Buddha Master lifted it and held it. The following article explains why this is so. It requires inner realization power.

Wangzha Shangzuns is a Great Holy Guru who has attained the level of Gold Button Grade 3 and the state of a non-retrograde Bodhisattva. The Shangzun rarely comes into contact with ordinary people. Finally, He met with a thousand Buddhists at Holy Miracles Temple in Pasadena, Los Angeles. On March 6, 2019, the temple was crowded with a large and orderly congregation of Buddhists. Their sole purpose was to meet Wangzha Shangzun.

On the Dharma throne in front of the statue of the World Honored Shakyamuni Buddha, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III imparted Dharma for the congregation. His Holiness the Buddha mentioned that only a few people have attained the state of a Shangzun in this Saha world. Anyone without inner realization power is not able to lift the 1,000-jin (approximately 1,100 pounds) Vajra Pestle placed in front of the entrance of the Grand Hall of Shakyamuni Buddha. [NOTE: this is not the same 420 plus vajra pestle that the Buddha Master lifted with a hook and one hand. The Shangzun used two hands to lift the 1,000 pound pestle.] The Shangzun is a preeminent great Dharma king. According to Dharma rules, He must manifest Vajra power. Any person who has not completely opened up their nadis (energy channels) and chakras (bright focal point) is not able to lift a 1,000-jin Vajra Pestle. Since it is not possible to find a 1,000-jin Vajra Pestle, a weight set was used instead as the hall-blocking Vajra Pestle. The Shangzun used the 1000-jin weight bar to perform Dharma and to bless the congregation.

Wangzha Shangzun entered the Grand Hall through the center door and prostrated to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III four times. With His back bent, He came in front of His Holiness the Buddha. His Holiness the Buddha blessed the Shangzun by placing His hand on the Shangzun’s head. The Shangzun then took His seat at the lower left side of His Holiness the Buddha. In front of the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, the Shangzun addressed the congregation in perfect English: “Buddhist disciples, I’m very happy to see you here today. I’m happy because you have the karmic affinity in this lifetime to meet Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. Thus, you’ll be able to learn the authentic Buddha Dharma, the unaltered and pristine Dharma. Because of this, you will be able to attain accomplishment within this lifetime. So of course, I’m very happy.” When His Holiness the Buddha was about to leave, Wangzha Shangzun stood up with his back bent and head bowed. With both palms facing upwards, He respectfully bid farewell to His Holiness the Buddha. Afterwards, the Shangzun returned to His seat and blessed everyone in the congregation by placing His hands on each of their heads

The Holy Miracles Temple is a holy site where three Buddhas once appeared in the sky and bestowed holy amrita through three layers of obstacles into a bowl. Wangzha Shangzun has formally established an authentic Inner-tantric Mandala in this holy site in accord with Dharma rules. This is also the only Inner-tantric Mandala in the world at the present time. In the future, Great Holy Gurus who possess the Inner-tantric Initiation Guru Qualifications can hold Inner-tantric Initiations for those Buddhist disciples who have been qualified through Determination by Holy Selection.
