==Controversy== |
|||
Despite the wide publicity received and said number of believers, many orthodox Buddhist sects have represented concerns that Guanyin Citta do not represent true Buddhism. [[Jun Hong Lu|<sup>[8]</sup>]]Many of his interpretations are not found in Buddhist texts and sutras, and while he occasionally quotes sutras and mantras, they were misrepresented. Furthermore, he claims (or claimed by his believers) to be a manifestation of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (Guanshiyin), when it was mentioned in many sutras such as Shurangama Sutta that manifestations of any Buddha or Bodhisattva are not allowed to reveal themselves to layman. |
|||
A true Buddhist is required to seek refuge in the triple gems, the Buddha, the Sutta and the Sangha <ref>http://www.lionsroar.com/the-decision-to-become-a-buddhist/</ref>, while there is no such requirement in Guan Yin Citta. In fact, there is no evidence of Lu Junhong seeking refuge in the triple gems, and therefore is not a buddhist <ref>http://wap.kaiwind.com/anticult/201508/21/t20150821_2751063.shtml</ref>. |
|||
Triple gems in Buddhism refers to the Buddha, the Sutta and the Sangha, while in Guan Yin Citta it refers to reciting scriptures, making vows and performing life liberation. |
|||
Reciting scriptures in Buddhism involves the thousands of scriptures spoken by the Buddha, while in Guan Yin Citta, it only refers to the Heart Sutra and Great Compassion Mantra. In fact, the reading of other sutras are not encouraged in Guan Yin Citta. |
|||
In Buddhism, the concept of enlightenment involves complete understanding of the Four Noble Truth<ref>http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhism/bs-s02.htm</ref> , the eightfold paths<nowiki><ref>http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/bodhi/waytoend.html</ref></nowiki> and the twelve dependent origins<ref>http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/snapshot05.htm</ref>, which are not emphasized and misinterpreted in Guan Yin Citta. |
