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 it was then that people learned that the highly respected Master Yi Yun Gao, Yang E Yi Xi Nuobu Dafa Wang, was recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects in the world as the third incarnation of the Buddha Dorje Chang, with the Buddha name being the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha. Since then, people have been calling him "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". In particular, 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), and 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 government's legal name, and the previous names of "Yi Yun Gao" and the titles of Master and Dafa Wang no longer exist. However, this news was published before the announcement of the Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha's Buddha name, and at that time people did not yet know the true identity of the Buddha. Therefore, in order to respect the truth of history, we still retain the names used before the official naming of the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha in the news. But everyone should be clear that, except for the name of H.H. Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha, which is legal, the names used before the official naming no longer exist.

Tang Xie Le Hui, a disciple of Yang E Yi Xi Nuobu Dafa Wang, a resident of Xinfan, Chengdu, Sichuan, passed away at the age of 84 on the evening of July 16, 2004, the 16th day of the 7th lunar month in the Chinese calendar, and was guided by Amitabha Buddha to the Pure Land of the Western Paradise!
Tang Xie Le Hui, known as Grandma Tang to her family and friends, her entire family has been practicing under Dafa Wang for many years. She often said, "My children and grandchildren have all been able to learn the true Dharma from Dafa Wang, which is the happiest and proudest thing in my life." Grandma Tang had great respect for Dafa Wang, and Dafa Wang showed great compassion and care for Grandma Tang. One time, Grandma Tang suffered from frozen shoulder and couldn't lift her hand, and the pain was unbearable. Dafa Wang comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I'll give you an injection and you'll be fine." It was the middle of winter, but Dafa Wang gave her an injection through several layers of thick winter clothing, and she was healed instantly! Many years later, when Grandma Tang talked about this, the mystery and wonder were still there.
One day in June of this year, she said to her family, "Last night, I saw a very tall and big Dharma protector god. His face was as big as a door, and he told me that I would go to the Western Paradise in the second half of this year." By the second half of the year, she meant from the beginning of the 7th lunar month to the end of the 12th lunar month. On August 15, which was the 30th day of the 6th lunar month in the Chinese calendar, Grandma Tang showed signs of approaching death, and her family immediately reported it to Dafa Wang. With the help of Dafa Wang's Dharma power, Grandma Tang became very peaceful and calm that night. Not only was Grandma Tang peaceful, but the whole house and the surrounding area were filled with auspiciousness. The next day, at noon on the first day of the 7th lunar month, several Buddhist disciples who came to help with the chanting saw a cloud of silk hanging in the sky. In the evening, the sky over Chengdu Basin, which had been covered with dark clouds, suddenly cleared up above Grandma Tang's residence, revealing a clear and bright night sky with stars shining like diamonds. On that night, Grandma Tang passed away.
Following Dafa Wang's instructions, Grandma Tang had been diligently practicing recitation and chanting of Amitabha Buddha and Dafa Wang's sacred mantra. She only drank a little glucose water every day and took meditation as her food. She devoted all her time to doing her homework and reciting the sacred mantra of Amitabha Buddha and Dafa Wang. After more than 20 days of diligent practice, her mind was clear, she could speak fluently, and a fragrance emanated from her mouth. People in the neighborhood were amazed.
On the evening of August 31, around 11 o'clock, Tang Yu Rong, Grandma Tang's daughter, was combing her mother's hair. As she was combing, Grandma Tang suddenly turned to her right side and lay down in a auspicious sleeping posture. Tang Yu Rong saw her mother suddenly smile, and a warm current spread over her head. Her smile remained, and the whole house was filled with brightness and auspiciousness. Grandma Tang didn't move at all. Tang Yu Rong immediately reported to Dafa Wang, and Dafa Wang said, "She has achieved complete enlightenment and accomplishment." Tang Yu Rong looked back at her mother and saw that her face and skin had turned slightly red, which was a sign of Amitabha Buddha guiding her to ascend! The crowd of people who came to chant and pay their respects immediately burst into applause at the cremation ceremony. Amidst the chanting of the Buddha's name, there were cries of surprise, tears of joy, laughter, and vows. In the roaring furnace, red and blue lights kept flashing. Fire phoenixes and golden-winged birds flew out of the light, and the protectors Mahakala and Mahakala stood tall. Auspicious tigers emitted light from their bodies, and golden lions spat out blue lotuses and had blue lotuses in their eyes. The appearance of Dafa Wang's Dharma King, ascetic, and master, as well as the appearance of Adar Ma Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and Tsongkhapa, appeared in each lotus flower. The buildings and pavilions of the Pure Land world and the towering Mount Sumeru also appeared at the same time! Two layers of lotus platforms appeared under Grandma Tang's feet and hands, supporting her as she sat cross-legged, with a smile on her face and blue light radiating from her whole body, merging into the light of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas! The sacred realm of the Buddha's land continued to appear, and there was thunderous applause in front of the cremation furnace. People chanted Dafa Wang's sacred mantra loudly with tears streaming down their faces, shouting, "Namo Dafa Wang Guru! Namo Amitabha Buddha! You must take my mother away in the future!" "Namo Dafa Wang Guru! I will definitely practice and learn from you, Namo Amitabha Buddha, please come and take me!" "The Buddha Dharma is so great! I must achieve great accomplishment!" "Dafa Wang Guru, your Buddha Dharma is so great, you teach one and achieve one, teach two and achieve a pair, we see everyone achieving accomplishment, you are so great!" The cremation ceremony to respectfully send Grandma Tang to the Western Paradise immediately turned into a vow ceremony, and many people cried and vowed to follow Dafa Wang to practice Buddhism and dedicate merit to their families. The Buddhist disciples who witnessed the sacred realm at the cremation site were: Shi Xin Zhen, Shi Dao Pin, Shi Xin Lan, Shi Xin En, Shi Guang Jing, Shi Dao Zhi, Shi Ming Xi, Shi Zhi Yuan, Shi Zhi Hua, Shi Zhen Hua, Shi Zhen Lian, Shi Xin Rong, Shi Xin Gan, Shi De Feng, Shi Zhi Feng, Shi De Yu, Shi Zhi Da, Shi De Kun, etc.
On the evening of that day, a total of 263 fragrant and solid relics were picked from Grandma Tang's bones and ashes. This is truly another miracle in Buddhist history.
In the vast world, life and death are the most terrifying things that make sentient beings frightened and trembling. That is the abyss of fear that ordinary human beings can never surpass. However, now we are fortunate to see with our own eyes that life and death seem to be a piece of cake for devout Buddhist disciples who rely on and follow Yang E Yi Xi Nuobu Dafa Wang's teachings, because Dafa Wang possesses the true Dharma of the Buddha. Under the seat of Dafa Wang, there are those who have attained freedom in life and death, ascended to the Western Paradise, and achieved extraordinary accomplishments, one after another. The 13th generation ancestor of Emei Mountain, the abbot of Kaihua Temple, has freedom in life and death and an incorruptible body. Wang Lingze, Wang Chengefen, Que Xiangshou, Zhao Xianyun, the American saint, Mrs. Malk, and many other disciples of Dafa Wang have all joyfully ascended to the Western Paradise, completely leaving behind the fear and suffering of the cycle of life and death. These real and happening sacred events that we have witnessed make us realize without a doubt that the true Dharma of Yang E Yi Xi Nuobu Dafa Wang is right here in this world! This is the true Buddha Dharma!
