Explanation of the "Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha" Buddha Name#
On April 3, 2008, the book "The Third Generation Dorje Chang 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 people only then learned that the highly respected Master Yiyun Gao and the Great Dharma King Yangyi Yixi Nobu, who had always been respected by everyone, were recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects and the living Buddhas of the world's Buddhism. The third generation of Dorje Chang Buddha, the Buddha's name is the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha. Since then, people have referred to him as "Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha". This is similar to before Shakyamuni Buddha became a Buddha, his name was Prince Siddhartha, but after Shakyamuni Buddha became a Buddha, he changed his name to "Namo Shakyamuni Buddha". Therefore, we now say "Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha". Especially on December 12, 2012, the United States Senate Resolution No. 614 officially named the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha as His Holiness (H.H. Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha). Since then, the title of Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha has been officially established. Moreover, the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha is also the name recognized by the government. The previous names of "Yiyun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Great Dharma King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the official announcement of the Third Generation Dorje Chang 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 title of the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha in the news. But everyone should understand that except for the name of H.H. Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha, which is legal, the names used before the official announcement no longer exist.

On September 29th, the famous ancient temple Baoguang Temple in Xindu, Sichuan, held a grand cremation ceremony for the disciple Wang Duchuan, a disciple of the Great Dharma King Yungao. After the cremation, 225 solid relics were found.
Mr. Wang Duchuan and his wife are both university professors. After their retirement, they were able to study Buddhism under the guidance of the Great Master Yungao, and they were devout and diligent. After the Great Master Yungao left Chengdu, Professor Wang and his wife voluntarily requested to stay at the temple.
During this period, some kind-hearted people advised them to go home, and some people came to threaten and entice them, but they were not moved at all. Professor Wang said: No matter how others slander and defame, I only believe in the truth. Although I have only followed the master for a few years, the master I have seen is a kind, upright, and compassionate saint who always puts the interests of the people first. He is willing to suffer and work hard for the peace and happiness of sentient beings. The master's teachings are profound and flawless, and he imparts profound principles in simple sermons. Everything he teaches us is about how to practice virtue. Where is there any of the things they slander? I am a professor and a Buddhist, I do not lie, and I cannot betray my conscience. I will only be loyal to my master and never become a beast that deceives the master and destroys the ancestors! Therefore, over the years, no matter the wind or rain, no matter the rumors or threats, they have never left the temple until their house was demolished by bulldozers due to urban construction, and they tearfully bid farewell to this place.
A few months ago, Professor Wang showed signs of illness. Even in his illness, Professor Wang devoted himself to the study of Buddhism taught by the Great Master Yungao. On September 24th, Professor Wang said, "Master, I can't wait for you to come back. I'm going to leave." On the afternoon of September 26th, Professor Wang passed away peacefully, without any pain, lying on his right side facing the Buddha's image. At that time, the top of his head became hot, and in an instant, it opened and formed a triangular shape, about three centimeters long and two centimeters wide. On the morning of the 27th, when the abbot of Baoguang Temple, Master Jixin, prepared the shrine for Mr. Wang, the joints of Mr. Wang's hands and feet were still soft. After Master Jixin verified it, he said: it has been achieved, and solid relics will definitely be burned.
Starting at 4:30 pm on the 29th, the mantra chanting began. Just before that, nectar fell from the sky, and it continued for a while after the fire was lit. During the entire cremation ceremony, many sacred phenomena appeared. Some people saw a golden Buddha statue smiling, some saw a golden body Arhat in the abdomen of Professor Wang, wearing a monk's robe, some saw Buddha light, some saw the sun and moon shining together, and even people who don't study Buddhism saw mantras arranged in words... At that time, people present suddenly heard the voice of the Great Master Yungao chanting the Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra from a distance, blending with the sound of chanting. After the cremation ceremony, a total of 225 solid relics were collected.
What does this great news tell us? It completely demonstrates that a Buddhist disciple who corresponds to the three karmas has finally achieved liberation! On the other hand, what is the fate of those who deceive the master and destroy the ancestors?
