“Garbhadhatu describes the fetus and its soul coming from
the predestined union of the parents. It grows from the wind of
Karma and a child is born complete with bones, tendons and
inner organs, bearing his parent's ethnicity. In the same way, as
the practitioner learns the virtues of compassion taught by the
True Word sect, he will slowly develop peace and compassion in
his heart which results in beneficial actions for humanity and joy
to the Dharma Realm. When his merits are complete, he can
reach superior wisdom and get accepted into the lineage of the
Buddhas. It is by imitating the Buddha's holy fetus of love and
wisdom that one can reach the realization of the Three Secrets, or
Enlightenment”.
The Vajradhatu Mandala: According to Vajrasekhara
Sutra, this Mandala represents the unchanging nature of the
absolute truth, which is compared to the “sturdiness” and
“sharpness” qualities of the diamond that cannot be destroyed
although it can destroy all. The sturdiness of the absolute Truth
prevents it from being destroyed, and the sharpness of Buddha's
Wisdom destroys all obstacles to reveal the ultimate Truth. The
diamond is also the most precious material among others and the
most invincible among all weapons. It represents the unbreakable
and eternal Body of Law, which has no death, no past life, and no
after life. The same diamond-like quality of the absolute truth
represents the real nature of the “Middle Path” that is paved with
numerous merits.
This invincible weapon, among others represents the
invincible logic of the Emptiness doctrine that stands against all
afflictions. Human beings, celestial beings or the Buddhas cannot
create such a doctrine.
Vajrapani Bodhisattva put these two major Sutras in the
Iron Tower of the South Heaven, where they remained for

Sakyamuni Buddha
