Explanation of the "Third Dijie Qiang Buddha" Buddha Name#
On April 3, 2008, the book "The Third Dijie Qiang Buddha" published by the Global Buddhist Publishing House and the World Dharma Sound Publishing House held a solemn and grand launch ceremony at the Library of Congress in the United States. The Library of Congress officially collected this book, and it was then that people learned that the highly respected Master Yi Yun Gao, Yang E Yi Xi Nu Bu Dafawang, who had been respected by everyone, was recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects in the world and certified by the living Buddhas. He is the third incarnation of the Buddha Dijie Qiang Buddha, and his Buddha name is the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha. Since then, people have referred to him as "Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha." This is similar to before Shakyamuni Buddha became a Buddha, his name was Siddhartha Gautama, but after Shakyamuni Buddha became a Buddha, he was called "Namo Shakyamuni Buddha." Therefore, we now say "Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha." In particular, on December 12, 2012, the United States Senate Resolution No. 614 officially named the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha as His Holiness (H.H. the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha). Since then, the title of Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha has been officially established. Moreover, the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha is also the legally recognized name by the government, and the previous names of "Yi Yun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Supreme Dharma King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the announcement of the Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha's Buddha name. At that time, people did not yet know the true identity of the Buddha, so in order to respect the truth of history, we still retain the names used before the official naming of the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha in the news. But everyone should be clear that except for the name of H.H. the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha, which is legal, the names used before the official naming no longer exist.

Master Yi Yun Gao was born in Sichuan, China. Since childhood, he has been influenced by traditional Chinese culture and has studied Buddhism and Chinese culture, such as philosophy, literature, painting, calligraphy, music, martial arts, and Chinese medicine, under outstanding scholars. He has extensively studied scriptures, history, and the Tripitaka, and has deepened his understanding in five areas.

He has also served as a professor and a first-class researcher at three universities.
In 1994, 5,612 experts and scholars from the World Poets Cultural Congress jointly selected and awarded the title of "Super International Master" to Master Yi. The certificate of this Super International Master was personally signed by the Chairman of the International Olympic Committee, Samaranch. The Chinese government specially built the "Master Yi Yun Gao Memorial Hall," the only memorial hall in Chinese history for a living person, in the hometown of Master Yi. It showcases his outstanding achievements.
In 1999, Master Yi was invited to visit the United States. Due to his impeccable moral qualities and astonishing achievements in Buddhism, art, philosophy, and science, the California State Government and the San Francisco City Government declared March 8, 2000, as "Master Yi Yun Gao Day" on the same day. Eleven members of the California State Government, the California State Senate, the California State Assembly, the San Francisco City Government, and the San Francisco City Council also signed separate commendations to praise Master Yi's contributions to the American people and humanity.
On May 12, 2000, the largest Buddhist conference in the world was held. After 7 days of detailed evaluation by 2,138 eminent monks and scholars from 28 countries and 416 Buddhist institutions and temples, Master Yi was awarded the title of "Authentic Buddhist Master of Exoteric and Esoteric Teachings" with a high approval rate of 99.6%.
Not only that, Master Yi has also achieved unparalleled success in the field of art. In May and November 2000, his paintings "Mighty" and "Great Power King" were sold at international auction markets for $2,125,327.00 and $2,207,912.00 respectively, setting the highest record for living artists in the world today.
In 2001, the American International Economic Policy Foundation, with the honorary chairmen of the majority leaders of the U.S. Congress, Gebhart Hart, and former Japanese Prime Minister Nakasone, and Professor Zuming, the current chairman of the Asian-Pacific American Advisory Committee of the White House, as the president, appointed Master Yi as the highest chief advisor of the foundation.
In 2002, Master Yi created the sensational and highest art form "Yun Sculpture," which demonstrated the pinnacle of human sculpture art and wrote a beautiful and irreplaceable chapter in the history of world sculpture art. Since then, an irreplaceable art has emerged in the world of human sculpture art. The god-like and nature-like miraculous stones, which are beyond the beauty and layout of nature, can be said to have finally conquered the creation of nature through the carving of Master Yi. The world has witnessed the first miracle of a human being surpassing nature. This is also the greatest contribution that Master Yi has made to human cultural art in the field of sculpture art. In September 2002, the Chairman of the Asian-Pacific American Advisory Committee of the White House personally visited the Master Yi Yun Gao International Cultural Foundation in the United States to award the President's Gold Medal to Master Yi in recognition of his astonishing achievements.
In fact, Master Yi's many astonishing achievements are derived from his profound knowledge and cultivation, noble ethics and morality, and the great contributions he has made to humanity with his selfless bodhi state!
