We also wish to advise that "True Buddha School" is not recognized as a genuine Buddhist tradition by major Buddhist organizations in the country. We would further like to advise the public to verify the proper lineages of any self-proclaimed "Living Buddha" and examine carefully if his conduct and teaching are in accordance to Buddhist principle and Buddha's teaching before accepting him as a teacher.
