NOTHING MORE THAN THREE CHANCES
Question: The Dharma Protectors said, “We, by the decree of Guan Di Bodhisattva and Tai Sui Bodhisattva – General Xie Tai – summoned the spirit of the Heavenly Child to Heaven. We, the Dharma Protectors, would like to forewarn all Buddhist practitioners of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door not to do anything evil, regardless of how trivial it may be”.
“There are still many people who are not earnest and serious in their spiritual cultivation. Besides not strictly adhering to the Buddhist teachings, they also let their guard down when handling the financial affairs related to the dharma. Irrespective of how virtuous you are, the accumulated karmic ramifications arising from your illicit gains are not something that any of you is capable of shouldering.”
“To those who dare to illicitly acquire wealth in the name of the Buddhas, or slander the dharma, do not blame the laws and decrees being ruthless. We, the Dharma Protectors, will grant all Buddhist practitioners up to three chances to repent and reform this year.”
“Where it involves illicit gains – be it intentional or unintentional – repent as soon as possible, besides you should also perform more life liberation and meritorious deeds in order to eradicate your karmic obstacles. We will report your respective progress in accordance with your situations to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, Guan Di Bodhisattva and Tai Sui Bodhisattva.”
Deepest gratitude to Guan Yin Bodhisattva. Deepest gratitude to Master Jun Hong Lu.

Answer: The Bodhisattvas have stated that there are up to three chances to repent. To those who have amassed wealth illicitly, you must quickly and sincerely repent to Bodhisattva. Once such misdeed is committed, Heaven and the Underworld will know about it. There is no way that one can get off scot-free. Even for cases where the gains are meagre, you must still come clean before Bodhisattva.
Not only that, you must perform life liberation in accordance with the amount of gains you have pocketed. Otherwise, it will be way too late by the time when you are diagnosed with cancer. The money you have cheated must be repaid one way or another. Bear in mind, the seeds that you plant will eventually germinate.
