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 realized that the highly respected Master Yi Yun Gao and the Grand Master Yang E Zhi Nuo Bu, who had always been respected by everyone, had been certified 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 was called "Namo Shakyamuni Buddha". Therefore, we now call him "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 legal name recognized by the government, and the previous names of "Yi Yun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Grand Master are no longer in existence. 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, the previous names no longer exist.
Buddha's light shines everywhere, and the Buddha's light is flying everywhere. The holy name shakes the three realms, and all Buddhas appear in full form.#
Lay disciple Wang Cheng'e and her husband lay disciple Wang Lingze have achieved great accomplishments in learning the true Buddha Dharma.#
Living and speaking without breathing#
Buddhist Sound Times, July 13, 2004, Tuesday
[Tzu-Lien News] Lay disciple Wang Cheng'e, a resident of Xindu County, Sichuan Province, China, is 81 years old this year. The old lay disciple relies on the practice of Guanyin Bodhisattva taught by the Grand Master Yang E Zhi Nuo Bu, who is a close relative of the Grand Master. Last year, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her waist. After being diagnosed by doctors at the 47th Hospital, it was believed to be bone cancer. In March of this year, the old lay disciple showed the appearance of the four great decompositions. On April 13, she was sent to Chengdu General Hospital by her children. After examination, there were no symptoms of bone cancer, and all indicators were normal. The electrocardiogram and electroencephalogram showed no signs of illness, and her body was healthy. However, the X-ray chest film on April 18 showed that both lungs were completely unshadowed, a blank space. The doctors were very surprised and had never seen such a situation before.
Further examination confirmed that both lungs had completely stopped working, with no breathing function, unable to inhale or exhale. Everyone was extremely surprised. Isn't it that without breathing, a person is dead? But Lay Disciple Wang Cheng'e was still alive and speaking normally without breathing! Someone placed a feather in front of the old lay disciple's nostrils and mouth, and indeed, after watching for more than ten minutes, the feather did not move. The old lay disciple had completely stopped breathing, but she was still alive and speaking normally. The doctors believed that this was a strange symptom, a wonder in the medical field and even the entire human world. The old lay disciple, in this state of complete lung failure, was able to speak and move within a month. Of course, everyone did not understand that this was the proof of the old lay disciple's practice of Buddhism.
The Grand Master has set a date to invite Guanyin Bodhisattva to ascend
After Lay Disciple Wang Cheng'e was admitted to Chengdu General Hospital for two or three days, she entered a state of great virtue and returned to the West. She told everyone that Guanyin Bodhisattva had informed her that she would be taken to the Western Pure Land. She made arrangements for her affairs, took off the Buddha image hanging on her chest and the jewelry on her hand, distributed them to her children, changed into a longevity robe, and waited quietly for Guanyin Bodhisattva to come. She kept chanting "Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva" and asked the people chanting with her to kneel down and chant the holy name of Guanyin Bodhisattva. She said that Guanyin Bodhisattva had arrived. Indeed, suddenly, everyone in the ward smelled a strange fragrance, and celestial music sounded in the air. Bodhisattva arrived, but the old lay disciple did not leave. The old lay disciple told everyone that Guanyin Bodhisattva told her that her relative, the Grand Master Yang E Zhi Nuo Bu, in the United States, had obstructed her and asked Bodhisattva not to take her away. A few days later, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to take her again, and the old lay disciple did not disturb the people around her. She chanted and folded her hands continuously. The people around her heard her say, "The Western Pure Land is so beautiful! So many flowers!" This time, it was still because the Grand Master asked Guanyin Bodhisattva not to take the old lay disciple away. During an interview, although the old lay disciple did not want to speak much, she still insisted on recording the audio herself: "I saw Guanyin Bodhisattva wearing a blue robe. The Western Pure Land is so beautiful! There are also pavilions and terraces, and so many flowers!"
The Buddha image emits light and reveals the true Dharma
On May 22, 2004, at 11 o'clock in the evening Los Angeles time (2 o'clock in the afternoon on May 23, Beijing time), the President of the International Buddhist Sangha Association and the eminent monk Long Hui Master was called by her Grand Master to inform her that the lay disciple Wang Cheng'e would pass away in China on the next day, which is today in China, and would be guided by Guanyin Bodhisattva to ascend to the Western Pure Land. The Grand Master asked her disciple Long Hui Master to publicly announce the passing of lay disciple Wang Cheng'e at the bathing Buddha ceremony to be held the next day, and dedicate the merits of the practice to the old lay disciple. The Grand Master added, "Listen carefully, she has not passed away yet. Tomorrow you will hold the bathing Buddha ceremony, which is more meritorious. I can no longer ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to let her stay. After I finish my practice tonight, Guanyin Bodhisattva will come to take her away tomorrow." Sure enough, on the second day (May 23), at 7 o'clock in the morning Los Angeles time, around 10 o'clock in the evening Beijing time, before Long Hui Master arrived at the venue of the ceremony, she received a call from Sichuan saying that lay disciple Wang Cheng'e had been taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva 20 minutes ago.
At the ceremony that day, just after the bathing Buddha ritual was completed, everyone saw the bronze statue of the Dharma King, the son of Shakyamuni Buddha, who was wearing a red Dharma robe, emit three strong golden halos, each lasting about ten minutes. At the same time, the photo of the old lay disciple and the head of her cremated body also emitted dazzling golden light. The Buddha light outside was still magnificent. The Grand Master's disciples were chanting the Buddha in the Buddha hall, and the monks of Baoguang Temple anxiously said, "Why don't you go out and see the Buddha light? There are so many Bodhisattvas in the sky!"
On the afternoon of May 25, around four o'clock, in the temporary Buddha hall of Baoguang Temple, after the disciples of the Grand Master chanted the holy name of Guanyin Bodhisattva with a calm mind, it didn't take long for everyone to hear that the sound in the chanting instrument suddenly disappeared, and instead, it was the Grand Master Yang E Zhi Nuo Bu leading many people in chanting the holy name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and soon they switched to chanting "Namo Amitabha Buddha", and then switched back to "Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva". Everyone excitedly followed the Grand Master in chanting, and the disciples Shi Xin Zhen and Shi Xin En recorded the audio on the spot. About five minutes later, a Buddha light flashed and projected onto the Buddha altar and the body of the old lay disciple. Immediately, Buddha light appeared in the sky. Everyone rushed out of the house to pay their respects and cheer. Whether they were disciples of the Grand Master or people who practiced Buddhism, they all saw amazing scenes. The colorful Buddha light in the sky spread out as described in the Amitabha Sutra, and countless Buddhas appeared in the Buddha light, and Bodhisattvas sat everywhere. The light expanded to the boundless space; the clouds around were colorful and seven-colored; the ground, the sky, and the trees were filled with golden and blue light clusters; the sun and the moon were together, shining brightly and auspiciously; the sun kept flashing and jumping, and countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas appeared from it, quickly followed by silver wheels and countless bright and shining Dharma eyes, or colorful lions and dragons! In the Buddha light, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared wearing a long skirt, solemn and dignified, and then the head of Shakyamuni Buddha appeared, larger than the sun; the faces and bodies of people were enveloped in golden light, and anyone who sought blessings immediately received the projection of colorful Buddha light on their chests, and people kept bowing and praising.
At that time, the people who witnessed the holy scene were given the Dharma names: Shi Zhi Lan, Shi Zhi Qing, Shi Xin Zhen, Shi Xin En, Shi Xin Feng, Shi Zhi Lian, Shi Dao Rong, Shi Yi Zong, Shi Zhi Guang, Shi Chao Jing, Shi Nian Ci, Shi Nian De, Shi Nian Zhen, Shi Zhi Ying, Shi Zhi De, Shi Xin Ying, Shi Dao Wei, Shi Zhi Xiu, and nearly thirty others. The holy scene lasted for about an hour, and everyone was moved and excited.
The cremation ceremony of the old lay disciple was held on May 29th. It was presided over by Master Ji Xin, the cremation master of Baoguang Temple. Just after the solemn chanting ceremony ended, the flames began to rise, and the wooden niche had not yet fully ignited, various Buddhist holy scenes appeared! The colorful Buddha light surrounded the earth and shone, and everyone saw the holy scenes of the cremation site cheering and shouting. They held their mobile phones, cameras, and video cameras high, without focusing or framing, and captured everything. The holy scenes were everywhere. The raging flames suddenly turned into dragon gods and soared, spitting out fierce fire and roaring. Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Four-Armed Guanyin, Manjushri Bodhisattva holding a wisdom sword suddenly appeared, "Seed Letters", Vajra, Dharma protectors, male lions, phoenixes, lotus flowers, rainbows... all kinds of wonders emerged as the flames rose. The chanting sound of the Grand Master's chanting in the chanting instrument suddenly sounded, and suddenly nectar descended from the sky, sweet and mellow. The nectar only fell on the position of the cremation pyre, and there was no nectar anywhere else.
The emergence of the holy scenes made the crowd ecstatic. This was a joyful scene that had never been seen before since the construction of the cremation pyre in Baoguang Temple. People who saw the holy scenes with their own eyes were given the Dharma names Shi Xin En, Shi Xin Feng, Shi Xin Yu, Shi Zhi Wen, Shi Xin Miao, Shi Dao Zhen, Shi Dao Chun, Shi Dao Zhi, Shi Xin Xiao, Shi Zhi Lian, Shi Xin Yuan, Shi Guang Xiu, Shi Dao Guang, Shi Guang Wen, Qu De Da Mu, Shi Zhi De, Shi Yi Zeng, Shi Zhi Da, Shi Zhi Xiu, Shi Zhen Xiong, Shi Zhen De, Shi Dao Shan, Shi De Hai, Shi Guang Yun, Shi Zhi Qing, Shi Guang Ling, Shi Zhi Zhang, Shi Zhi Ming, Shi Zhi Hai, Shi Guang Feng, Shi De Ming, Shi De Chao, Shi Zhi Bo, and many others. There were also many people who did not know each other, all of whom were there, loudly praising and worshiping on the spot.
Achievements are remarkable, and the relics prove the high level of realization
What is even more astonishing is that more than sixty colorful relics were picked from the ashes of the old lay disciple, including yellow, white, and high-quality relics! Among them, there are even diamond-shaped relics, which caused a sensation in Baoguang Temple and the Chinese Buddhist community. This is an extremely rare holy relic in history, a true Buddhist treasure, truly reaching the state of "the subtle state of the Pure Land net of bliss, where the three flowers and other places are fully open". Wu Youjia from Taiwan said that these relics are truly precious. In the process of searching for relics, there was a lump of ashes the size of a palm that had been searched several times by others. I actually found two in it. I searched again carefully and confirmed that there were no more. Just at this moment, I saw another classmate staring at the ashes I had searched through and found three more. Another classmate from Taiwan, Li Huizhu, had a serious case of hand disease. Due to poor touch, she searched for relics in the ashes with only three fingers. She said that although she didn't find a single one, she found that her three fingers that searched for relics were completely cured the next morning. People lined up to see the relics in an endless stream, and people from all walks of life came one after another. Baoguang Temple specially took photos of the relics of the old lay disciple and made them public for the public to see.
Husband and wife both achieve holy fruit, and Mr. Wang controls his life and death
As Rama said in the article "Analysis of the Bathing Buddha Ceremony": "The achievement of a Wang Cheng'e may be accidental, but what is miraculous is that her husband, Mr. Wang Lingze, also practiced the Dharma taught by the Grand Master and did not talk about Buddhism in his life. Suddenly, on the fifteenth day of the second lunar month in 1991, he took a stool and openly advised people to do good deeds and spoke about the merits of the Pure Land, praising the Grand Master's Dharma as the true Buddhism of the Shakyamuni system. Someone asked, "I like the Guanyin Dharma, but I don't know what is the best? Mr. Wang said, "No matter if he is a great master or a great living Buddha, you must be especially careful and not learn false Buddhism from him. For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva's pure bottle has a high level of realization. Let's take a look at your teacher. If he doesn't have the ability and realization to take water, give empowerment, and perform the precepts, then it is a popular method in books. It is better to chant "Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva" because the merits of chanting "Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva" are great. True Guanyin Dharma is not about taking water with a book, but taking water with martial arts. Martial arts means that two or one person must lift and pour out four or five thousand kilograms of bathing Buddha pool water. This is true Buddhism. Taking water with a book means that you secretly prepare a robe and a bowl, and the teacher cannot see it. When you are full of water, take it out. The teacher will practice the Dharma in front of you, and the water will immediately flow out of the robe in front of you, just like the holy water in Guanyin Bodhisattva's pure bottle. All the containers in the world cannot hold the holy water in the pure bottle. It will flow out. Only by receiving the empowerment and learning the Dharma of the holy water in the robe can you wash away the karmic obstacles of your past lives. This is true Guanyin Dharma. What I have learned is the true Buddhism transmitted by the Grand Master. The water has flowed out, so I am going to the Western Pure Land now." After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he pushed the stool aside, sat cross-legged on the ground next to the street, and passed away immediately. He explained the greatness of the Grand Master's Buddhism, which allows one to control one's life and death.
After the old lay disciple passed away, according to the rules of Buddhism, her body could not be moved for seven days. Therefore, she sat solemnly on the public street for seven days and nights, upright like a bell. She also released thirteen solid relics from her cremated body. I bought a photo of the relics and relic flowers of the old lay disciple after her cremation from Baoguang Temple for 20 yuan. I also learned and saw from the live video that many of the Grand Master's disciples are first-class monks in the world, first-class monks in Taiwan, first-class monks in mainland China and Hong Kong, and first-class monks and great living Buddhas in the United States. They all regard the Grand Master as their teacher, and many disciples achieve life and death freedom together with their spouses. Some sit in meditation and form special hand seals to pass away, and some pass away after cremation with their bodies emitting brilliant light, and some have incorruptible bodies and become bodily relics. The most amazing thing is that the Grand Master usually informs his disciples in advance when someone will pass away, so that the monks can go to assist in chanting for their rebirth. When the monks receive the notice, the person is still alive, but when they arrive, the person has already entered into meditation. What kind of concept is this? It can only illustrate the truth of the great Buddhism.
A lay disciple named Mai, who often worships Buddha in Baoguang Temple, excitedly told reporters, "These years, I have been in a hurry. I have worshipped many great masters and great living Buddhas, but I still haven't learned the true Buddhism. I am afraid of the moment of life and death. Of course, I chant the Buddha every day, but I know myself best. I know if I am an ordinary person. I haven't learned the true Buddhism. Not only me, but everyone around me is like this. When the time comes, we will definitely go through the cycle of rebirth, which is very scary. I have been praying to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, praying to learn the true Buddhism. In the past few days, I saw the holy scenes of the great achievements of Cheng'e, and I knew that the Buddha and Bodhisattva blessed me and let me find it! Several of us discussed and decided to try our best to find the master who achieved great accomplishments in teaching Cheng'e. I know he is the true great saint. We also heard that Cheng'e's husband also achieved life and death freedom and entered into meditation. He also learned the Dharma from him. Who else should we look for if not him? Of course, we must find him. Only he can solve our life and death problems. We must sincerely and wholeheartedly find him!"
