There are far too many methods of practice.If you wanted to understand every one of them and then choose the best, safest one that cannot deceive you, I am afraid you would not finish even at the age of 200!In fact, in examining a method of practice there are a few key points:

  1. Its central idea is correct, and naturally nothing is hidden.
  2. There is no need to spend large sums on offerings and donations.
  3. There are no absurd or bizarre statements that harm morality and ethics.
  4. The school's conduct is fair and open.
  5. There are not many rules and regulations binding people.
  6. It does not collaborate with politics or business conglomerates.
  7. Practice blends into natural daily life without conflict.

Many practice methods close their doors and are proud of it, as if to learn more you must exchange money for it, and those without money must wait for the next life!And the rules and precepts they set seem to deter people, leaving them afraid of breaking the rules; yet as long as you have money, you need not follow the rules and can meet "master-level" figures at any time.Of religious groups like that...I advise you not to cling to them.Having encountered and studied the central ideas, rituals, Dharma assemblies and scriptures of large and small schools of various countries, our school found that there are no heavenly secrets that cannot be spoken; the heavenly secrets that "cannot be spoken" are probably the ones they do not know how to speak of.If they do not know them themselves, how can they transmit or teach them?Does many years of practice mean the practitioner has high attainment?Does it show what the practitioner understands?Is a practitioner of higher seniority necessarily correct in all his words and thoughts?What if he is wrong?And if his starting point is only to get people to develop compassion, are his teachings nothing more than that?There are far too many matters that people harbor doubts about in their hearts, and whom are these believers to ask?And who can explain them clearly?As for our school, the central ideas we speak of are in fact very simple, a few very clear key points: How does a person come into being, and where do we go after death?What is fate, and how can it be changed?What is soul-light, how is it produced, and how is it depleted?The theory of cause and effect across past and present lives!And the views of gods and buddhas, humans and the universe.Everything that people encounter in life is explained very clearly with soul-light as the focus.Of course, the book does not give very many illustrative examples, but if you already agree and have grasped the concept, try applying our school's theory yourself to the many questions you have had before, and I believe your doubts can all be resolved; and if you still have doubts, the Vajra Dharma-Eye Lineage can resolve your doubts for you at any time.

🏯 Extended · Five-Element Stupa

Rinpoche emphasizes repeatedly: to end the cycle of samsara, harmonize the magnetic field, and purify karmic creditors, the most direct method is offering a Five-Element Stupa. Combined with ritual dedication and mantra practice, it progressively elevates one's soul-light. Fahsilin's altar has actual Five-Element Stupas available for request.
