Well... to clear things up, as for my definition of "boasting",
suspicious and heretical, here is an example, "Grand Master
Lu/Living Buddha":
http://www.tbsn.org/english2/article.php?id=212
The first teacher who entered my spiritual life was Mr.
Three-Peaks-Nine-States (San-shan Chiu-hou Hsien-sheng). He was a
Spirit Master from the invisible
realm, and he taught me for a total of three years.
Now I shall first unveil the true identity of Mr.
Three-Peaks-Nine-States, then I will provide the reasons for my
identification.
The Three-Peaks:
Dharma Body Buddha - Vairocana Buddha
Bliss Body Buddha - Rocana Buddha
Emanation Body Buddha - Shakyamuni Buddha
The Nine-States:
(These are the Nine Deities found in the central court of the Womb
Mandala [Garbhadhatu Mandala].)
1) Central Mahavairocana Buddha - All-pervading Vajra
2) Eastern Precious Banner Tathagata - Fortune Gathering
Vajra
3) Southern Blooming Flower King Tathagata - Equality Vajra
4) Western Boundless Life Tathagata - The Purity Vajra
5) Northern Sky Drum Thunder Sound Tathagata - Immovable
Vajra
6) Southeastern Samantabadra Bodhisattva - Immutable Vajra
7) Southwestern Manjushri Bodhisattva - Auspicious Vajra
Northwestern Kuan Yin Bodhisattva - Right Dharma
Vajra
9) Northeastern Maitreya Bodhisattva - Swift Vajra
Such a powerful teacher from the "invisible realm".
and...
I have passed through the four stages of Luminosities:
Appearance of Light in the Ultimate Ground of Being, Expansion of
Light in Awareness, Maximizing of Light in Wisdom, and Infinite
Blaze of the Ultimate Ground of Being.
Through practicing the True Buddha Tantric Dharma, I have opened up
my subtle channels with the winds, and filled them with light. I
have reached the realm of Purity and Wisdom. Dharma Body, Light,
and Pure Land may manifest anytime when there is no more attachment
to any realm of illusion.
I have attained the Three Bodies and Five Wisdoms of the
Tathagata.
I realize that the Ground of Being is completely unstained by any
phenomenal conditions and it is the Dharma Body. Bliss Body is the
manifestation of `I` without any attachments. Emanation Body is the
manifestation of all phenomenal conditions.
I have also realized the Five Wisdoms: that it is totally unstained
by any phenomenon (the Ultimate Ground of Being Wisdom); it is free
of obstruction (the Great Round Mirror Wisdom); it reflects all
aspects equally (Equality Wisdom); it reflects all Five Lights
clearly without distortion (Wisdom of Profound Insight); and that,
in its root condition, everything is Light and is already
accomplished (All Accomplished Wisdom).
This is truly one heretic.
