宣化上人：其實都是活鬼不是活佛 !「...這些所謂佛教組織，是否真能代表佛教？現在有很多冒牌­貨，假藉佛教名義，盡做欺世盜名之事。諸如某些密宗教派，信徒都­患上愛死病，把婬亂當兒戲；又有出家人結婚的，又怎為僧侶？在西­方有很多魚目混珠之現像，故必要慎重審察：這些所謂佛教徒，是否­真能代表佛教界發言？不要被其蠱惑。裝神弄鬼，壞亂正法，死墮無­間獄！

I suppose you could be right. I can't argue with that. I will understand what you write as soon as I learn to read the characters. Is that Chinese?

I went to a translation website and I got the following translation for your Chinese:

In Xuanhua human: Is actually the live ghost is not the living buddha! These so-called Buddhism organizes, whether can represent Buddhism really? Now has many fake goods, the false affiliation Buddhism name, does gains fame by deceiving people the matter. Such as certain esoteric sect religious sect, the followers suffer from like dying sickness, 婬 works as randomly child's play;

and furthermore pio992003 says:

Also has the Buddhist to marry, also how is the clergy? Has in the West passes off fake articles for the real thing the phenomenon, therefore essential investigates prudently: These so-called Buddhists, whether can represent the Buddhism speech really? Do not mislead by it. Plays tricks, badly randomly executes, dies drops the without a gap prison!

Don't forget Part 2. The Mudras (hand gestures) are given detailed attention.

The link to part 2 is in the Video Responses above. Part 2 is where lessons on how to do the mudras are given by the Rimpoche.
