¡¡¡¡Take a look, here! Everyone was watching; the seeds of the truedharma had already been sown onto the lookers-on. Only timing andkarmas were needed to bring forth the corresponding occurrences inthe future. After several hundred years of waiting, this was thevery moment. Our body temperature was heated up by the scorchingsun; I felt my heart pounding!

¡¡¡¡Touring buses, crowds and motorcycles were jam-packed right undermy nose; behind us were also curious pedestrians, I turned around toanswer their enquiries. ¡°What¡¯s up between you and the lamas?¡± Alady asked cautiously.

¡¡¡¡¡°It¡¯s nothing personal. The religion of the lamas has nothing todo with Buddhism at all, yet they have covered themselves up asBuddhists and have misled Buddhist followers all along. Have a goodlook here for more details.¡± I handed her a copy of Decoding theDalai Lama¡¯s Copulation Tantra Practice and some leaflets, while shenodded in agreement.

¡¡¡¡¡°What is ¡®Copulation Tantra¡¯ after all?¡± A middle-aged maninquired.

¡¡¡¡¡°Good question! Please do check out these; they will tell you theactual facts.¡±

¡¡¡¡¡°How could you have such ¡®obscene¡¯ wordings in your text?Buddhists are not supposed to express themselves in such a way.¡±Another one disagreed with a deep frown to show his discontent.

¡¡¡¡¡°Certainly not. It¡¯s utterly beyond anyone¡¯s imagination, yetthose are the actual facts; it¡¯s also the reason we ought to speakout the truth! Anyway, you must take a good look at these materials.We know what we are doing, and are fully responsible for our deeds.Please do refer to these!¡± I also handed him some materials. He wasstill mumbling, but at least did not reject me.

¡¡¡¡At the same moment, three young lamas appeared, one of themholding our green leaflet in his right hand. I recognized itinstantly and stepped forward to ask him, ¡°Can you read Chinese?¡±

¡¡¡¡¡°Where are we now?¡± The other one who was on the mobile asked medirectly. I looked around, as a stranger here as well, trying tolocate our position. Abruptly, he pushed his mobile into my hand!

¡¡¡¡I tried to explain our location to the tour guide on the other endof the mobile, ¡°¡­Right in front of the Arena, at the intersectionslightly towards¡­, a China Petroleum Station, Chung Cheng Road¡­,¡­yes, in front of the Joy Plaza¡­¡± Obviously, she was a visitor tothis city too, so I spent a lot of time explaining our location. Itold the lamas to wait at this spot for their touring bus to collectthem. Also, seeing the blazing sunlight right atop their bare heads,I suggested that they wait in the shade of the Joy Plaza Building. Abrother member who was holding one side of the banner at a distanceturned to me with one thumb up, as the three lost lambs walked awayfrom me.

¡¡¡¡Once we were back to the park and were offered with a lunch boxeach, I leaned against the wooden table, and then noticed my yellingsore feet.

¡¡¡¡While munching my food, I enjoyed the gentle breeze of the wind,noticing that tree leaves could have incredibly various tones ofgreen to cope with the burning heat. The wooden bench, the scent ofthe earth, the bushes and the crawling ants. ¡­ It suddenly hit me,how many thousand days had gone by since I last had my picnic in agarden? I heard some tender voices, accompanied by radiant smiles.¡°What did they want, those three lamas?¡±

¡¡¡¡¡°You did notice?¡±¡°Sure thing! Security matters!¡±¡°They lost their way, which was only a tiny loss compared to amuch bigger one-- their ignorance regarding the truth of life!¡±

¡¡¡¡Indeed, what a unique, luxurious feast.

¡¡¡¡Two thousand and five hundred years ago, Demon Mara impudentlyhastened the Buddha to enter the nirvana state; what was then hisbackbone to support this intrusive courage? Demon Mara knew wellenough, as long as the true dharma remained unknown to the public,all sentient beings would certainly stay connected to the statesthat appeal to the conscious mind. They would indulge in sensualdesires and would be trapped into the endless rounds of births anddeaths (samsara). This way, they would all be herded into DemonMara¡¯s kingdom. Since its inception, the lama¡¯s religion has beenusing the Buddhist terminology in an abusive way, sugar-coatingtheir teachings with a ¡°Secret¡± flavor, and actually replacing theessence of practices with the lamas¡¯ own inventions. They havemanaged to fool the entire world up to this day. Their followersjoin their movement in a swarm, led by influential celebrities. Thistrend has prevailed in a deep-rooted and interlocked way for morethan a thousand years, but we are determined to destroy the den ofdemons. This is just the beginning of a crusade of the right toeradicate the evil. Of course, we are mindful of the challenges andperils that will obstruct our path as we head towards our goal.

¡¡¡¡Our initial crusade was performed in the ¡°True Enlightenment¡±style, which stood for serenity and a clear warning to the society.Comparatively speaking, it was like a mild fragrance pervading thesmelly fish market. It was only natural to draw the public¡¯sattention using a violent way of expression in this mundane world.The bellowing of the five, six persons in the morning was laterbroadly reported by the media in the evening news. Worst of all, thenews put the focus on the strong conflicts among the demonstratorsoutside the Arena, more or less implying that we were involved insome violent clash. That was entirely untrue. As the Buddhist sayinggoes, ¡°From an ordinary mortal¡¯s eyes, the Buddha is but an ordinaryman; but from the Buddha¡¯s eyes, an ordinary mortal is precisely aBuddha.¡± This is the way things are in the world!
