Otherwise, those distorted, corrupted, and even perverted views and messages\u00a0as had been depicted by such &#8220;so-called gurus&#8221; will not only do injustice to Buddhism, but will indeed bring about great harm and deterioration to the whole Buddhist Holy Dharma.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is only through <span style=\"color: #993366;\">in-depth teachings and analyses<\/span> of the Buddhist Holy Dharma will enable the Buddhist followers to have a clear, vivid and real understanding of the authentic and correct Buddhist teachings, in order that the Buddhist followers will be well-informed through the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">three wisdoms of listening, contemplating and meditating<\/span> on them, and then slowly come to truly understand the key points in their study and practice of the genuine and authentic Holy Dharma, resulting in the success of their own <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201cMind-Training and Dharma Practice\u201d<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The two Gurus of our Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) &#8212; <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Vajra Masters Yeshe Thaye &amp; Pema Lhadren<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 have seriously wished and hoped that the genuine and authentic Buddhist Holy Dharma can be <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">correctly and properly<\/span> propagated and disseminated throughout the world. In this regard, all those videos that have been uploaded onto the YouTube Channel of our Association so far are mainly in <span style=\"color: #00ffff;\">Mandarin and Cantonese versions<\/span>, and thus\u00a0our two Gurus would want to have these videos<span style=\"color: #008000;\"> to be further translated into English<\/span>, so as to produce the English versions of these videos to be further uploaded onto the YouTube Channel of our Association for the benefits of all peoples across the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to fulfill this huge translation project, which will be a tremendous task for us in terms of both manpower and resources, the editorial works for the \u201cLake of Lotus\u201d that have been undertaken by our two Gurus will now have to be suspended for quite a while, until this huge English translation project of\u00a0ours has been fully completed.
