FOREWORD

“Dear the Honorables, Most Venerables, Venerables, Bhadantas, Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunis, all the male and female lay followers of Buddhism all over the world.

Dear all! The Buddhist Culture book of “Way Back to the Buddha’s Place” volume 1 was approved by the Government for printing and publishing, when it reached your hands, certainly there would be some dissatisfactions, I hope you would kindly forgive us.

The volume 2 is going to be introduced, with this book, we sincerely and ardently appeal to your sincerity, please turn to the right method of the Buddha .

Dear all! From the past to present, our Teachers have mistakenly practiced a method which is not of Buddhism but they thought that they practiced the genuine method of the Buddha. Why were they mistaken like that?

Because there was no fully enlightened one to instruct them, they relied on the expanded canons of some sects which were compiled by the Patriarchs in the past based on their own opinions and explanation out of imagination, to practice, or followed the instructions of the Teachers who had not accomplished their practice.

The true method of Buddhism never uses abstract and sonorous words such as: “True Emptiness, Buddha Nature, Original Face, Ultimate Bliss, Heaven etc.” These are the abstract words to deceive devotees.

The true method of Buddhism always gets straight to the points, tells the truth, teaches the specific, practical and clear practicing methods such as: “Prevent the evilness, eliminate the evilness, give rise to the goodness, develop the goodness” or “Not to perform evil deeds, instead perform good deeds”. Therefore, the method of the Buddha never tells untrue things, it always teaches things in accordance with the morality of humanity which is based on the law of cause-and-effect and considers humans as its centre for development, so that people have clear understanding and they themselves correct the mistakes and the deeds which are not in compliance with the morality to be true Humans, to be Holy ones. As Buddhism has ascertained, Holy ones do not come from anywhere else but from human beings, outside human beings, Holy ones cannot be found. As such, the method of the Buddha is a method which is not abstract and illusive, not superstitious and immoral etc. By contrast, the methods that our Teachers have been following give us innumerable canons teaching the methods which are all abstract, illusive, superstitious, immoral etc. to deceive devotees. Step by step, we will debunk the deceitful nature of these canons for your contemplation. It has killed our Teachers of so many generations for so many centuries and it continues to kill the ideologies of our future generations…”
