Explanation of the Title "His Holiness the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche"#

On April 3, 2008, the book "The Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche" published by the Global Buddhist Publishing House and the World Dharma Sound Publishing House held a grand first launch ceremony at the Library of Congress in the United States. The Library of Congress officially collected this book, and people then learned that the highly respected Yiyun Gao Master and Yang'e Yixi Nobu Dharma King, recognized by the leaders or regents of various major Buddhist sects in the world, is the third reincarnation of the primordial Buddha Dodrupchen Rinpoche. His title is His Holiness the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche, and from then on, people started calling him "Namo His Holiness the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche." This is similar to before Gautama Buddha became enlightened, his name was Prince Siddhartha, but after becoming Buddha, he was called "Namo Gautama Buddha." Therefore, we now refer to him as "Namo His Holiness the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche." Especially, on December 12, 2012, the United States Senate Resolution No. 614 officially conferred the title of His Holiness on the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche (i.e., H.H. the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche), and since then, the title of Namo His Holiness the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche has been established. Furthermore, His Holiness the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche is also the legal name recognized by the government, and the previous titles of Yiyun Gao and the honorable titles of Master and Dharma King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the title of Namo His Holiness the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche was announced, at that time people did not yet understand the true identity of the Buddha, so in order to respect the truth of history, we still retain the names used before the legal designation of His Holiness the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche in the news. But everyone should be clear that except for the name H.H. the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche, the names used before the legal designation no longer exist.
