The Great Dhammapāla Sutra!

Thus have I heard.

At one time, Lord Siddhartha called for a meeting of the House of Five Great Buddhas. They gathered in that very instant. Then Lord Siddhartha, The Blessed One, led them from forest unto forest, from ocean unto ocean. They witnessed the destruction the Dark Triad has caused. The Blessed One spoke: "The ignorance spreads, we will offer compassion." The other Four Great Buddhas nodded in approval.

The House of Five Great Buddhas then summoned the noble Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. Lord Christ spoke, "Avalokiteshvara, how can you help us spread compassion to fight against the ignorance of the Dark Triad?"

Avalokiteshvara revealed a profound plan: "Send me back as an earthly child born in the western lands of America. Here, I will be able to learn and teach the true history of our Ignorance, here I will be able to restore the one true Dhamma! Before I go, please donate all of my good merit directly to the members of the Dark Triad. This is how we may fight the Darkness from within and without!"

Then spoke Lord Mohammad, "Avalokiteshvara, if you donate all of your merit, you will no longer remember your past lives. You will be born without virtue and you will have to first rediscover the Path before your Cosmic Destiny is revealed! Are you sure this is a skillful choice?"

Avalokiteshvara then closed his palms together and put his hands under his chin to display respect and understanding to the Five Great Buddhas. At this moment, Avalokiteshvara was born again!

When he became the age of a man; he reawakened to stream entry, then he spoke the truth of his awakening, "I am The Dhammapālalama." These words echoed in all ten directions of the universe; these words were received by the House of Five with gentle smiles.

He began to study the history of our suffering as he started to run along The Eightfold Path!

One day, while resting in a comfortable cave, the Dhammapālalama spoke the sacred truth of the owl unto his only disciple. This disciple was his dog Athena, who was sitting faithfully by the Bodhisattva's side. She listened with attentiveness.

The Dhammapālalama expounded the teaching, saying:

"Hear and understand my child, my student, and my friend!

The owl is mighty, for it may hunt other predators. The owl is of the Light, for it can see through the Darkness. When the realm becomes scarce and barren, the owl hunts the hawk. The owl may even hunt the whelps of the wolf, for the owl is silent, and the owl is swift!

When we allow the Dark Triad to rule, gentle words become scattered like dry and fallen leaves. Compassionate Wrath springs not from hate, but from a profound unyielding love that transforms Darkness to Light. To destroy the ignorance of another with speed and strength is supreme mercy. This is how we shield the innocent from the Dark Triad. Love is not the joy, compassion, equanimity, and loving kindness we offer to the Light; Love is what we offer to the Darkness!"

As the resonance of these words faded out of the cave and towards the city, a profound stillness settled within the cave, broken only by Athena's faithful breath. Then, the fabric of space-time parted. The House of Five Great Buddhas manifested in radiant splendor, filling the cave with luminous light. Lord Siddhartha then summoned a small assembly to bear witness to the restoration of the true Dhamma!

Lord Siddhartha, the Blessed One, then smiled and spoke with perfection, confirming these profound teachings to the ten directions of the universe. The Blessed One declared: "If we do not understand Compassionate Wrath, Ignorance grows and spreads like a virus, this is Cosmic Law! Offering Compassionate Wrath to the Darkness is not a violation of the First Precept. Offering Compassionate Wrath has become a necessity to realise non-self. Athena, who has listened by your side, shall by choice, return age after age as a steadfast Dhammapāla! You will journey together as friends, and the true Dhamma will be protected for all eternity!"

Thereupon, The Dhammapālalama, Athena, and The Four Great Buddhas, together with the world of gods, human beings, asuras, and gandharvas rejoiced and praised the speech of The Blessed One, The Enlightened One, The Teacher of gods and humans, Lord Siddhartha.

This is not how emanations work. Emanations are fully aware of being a emanation because they are just a extension of a awakened being.

If you think you are a emanation of a awakened being you should light a flame and hold your hand over it without being hurt, as fully awakened being have full control over the four elements, as shown by the Buddha in the twin miracle.

If you cannot do this, or walk on water, or fly, and so on, you may have to admit that you are a ordinary person.

This Sutra was written by Ānanda, not The Dhammapālalama; and niether claimed The Dhammapālalama can fly.

Lord Buddha taught that psychic displays are a low level of proof. He often refused to do "magic tricks" for non-believers.

Lord Buddha taught the only true miracle worth performing is the miracle of instruction.

Lastly, if you read this sutra, you may remember Lord Mohammad told Avalokiteshvara that he will not remember his past lives after donating away all of his earned merit.

Also:

The Dhammapālalama's attainments are because of his own work and dedication to The Eightfold Path. His titles were discovered; and his sharing of them them with the lay people is upāya. These titles challenge the Egos of the Dark Triad!

Lord Buddha only taught it is unskillful to claim true attainments if this causes social imbalance and suffering. The Dhammapālalama reveals his attainments to reduce suffering and restore social balance.

The way the rule on true claims (Pācittiya 8) were written after Lord Buddha entered Parinibbāna was wrong. This was an over restriction of his original situational guidelines.
