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 and Yang E Yi Xi Nuobu Dafa Wang, who had been respected by everyone, were recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects in the world and certified by the great living Buddhas. The third incarnation of the Buddha Dijie Qiang Buddha, with the Buddha name as the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha, since then, people have referred to him as "Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha". This is similar to the fact that 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 Dijie Qiang Buddha". Especially on December 12, 2012, the United States Senate Resolution No. 614 officially named the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha as His Holiness (H.H. 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 name recognized by the government. The previous names of "Yi Yun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Dafa Wang no longer exist. However, this news was published before the announcement of the Buddha name of Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha, 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. Third Dijie Qiang Buddha, which is legal, the names used before the official naming no longer exist.

[Reporter Xu Tingwei Taipei Report] Laywoman Wang Cheng Efen, a native of Xindu County, Sichuan Province, China, is 81 years old this year. The old laywoman relies on the practice of Guanyin Bodhisattva under the guidance of the Vajra Master Yixi Nuobu Dafa Wang and is a close relative of the Dafa Wang. Last year, she suddenly felt discomfort 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 laywoman 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 diagnosed no illness, and her body was healthy. However, the X-ray chest film on April 18 showed no shadow in both lungs, just 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 puzzled. Without breathing, isn't she dead? But Laywoman Wang Cheng Efen, without breathing, is still alive and can speak normally! Someone placed a small feather in front of the old laywoman's nostrils and mouth, and indeed, after watching for more than ten minutes, the feather did not move. The old laywoman completely lost her breath, 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 laywoman, in this state of complete cessation of lung function, was able to speak and move within a month. Of course, everyone did not understand that this was the proof of her practice of Buddhism.
After staying in Chengdu General Hospital for two or three days, Laywoman Wang Cheng Efen 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 after her passing, took off the Buddha statue hanging on her chest and the jewelry on her hands, and distributed them to her children. She changed into a longevity robe and waited quietly for Guanyin Bodhisattva to arrive. She kept folding her hands and reciting "Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva", and even asked the people who were chanting to kneel down and recite the holy name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, saying that the Bodhisattva had arrived.
Sure enough, suddenly, the people in the entire ward smelled a strange fragrance, and music sounded in the air. The Bodhisattva had arrived, but the old laywoman did not pass away. The old laywoman told everyone that Guanyin Bodhisattva told her that her relatives in the United States, the Dafa Wang, had obstructed her and asked the Bodhisattva not to take her away.
