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 launching 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 the Grand Master Yang Yi Xino Bu, who had always been respected by everyone, were 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 the fact that before Shakyamuni Buddha became enlightened, his name was Siddhartha Gautama, but after Shakyamuni Buddha became enlightened, 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), 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 legal name recognized by the government, and the previous titles of "Yi Yun Gao" and the Grand Master and the Grand Master of the Dharma have ceased to exist. However, this news was published before the announcement of the Buddha name of the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha, and 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 name 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 previous name no longer exists.
The pictures taken by the Yun Yun Gao Master's Rhyme Sculpture Art, which was created by Master Yi Yun Gao, have been published and distributed worldwide by the International Art Publishing House. In order to prove that Master Yun Yun Gao's Rhyme Sculpture works are unique treasures and the founders of three historically transcendent achievements, the Yi Yun Gao Master International Cultural Foundation, the International Buddhist Monks and Nuns Association, the Holy Ge Lecture Hall, and the Universal Awakening Society recently jointly announced the organization of an activity to invite people from all walks of life to replicate Master Yi Yun Gao's Rhyme Sculpture works. The prize money is as high as 12 million US dollars. After this announcement was published in several newspapers such as the World Journal and Sing Tao Daily in the United States, it once again shocked the world, indicating that Master Yun Yun Gao has made unparalleled artistic contributions to the world.
The exhibition of Master Yi Yun Gao's Rhyme Sculpture works was held in Washington, D.C. on July 28th this year. At that time, it was organized by the American National Organization and invited members of the U.S. Congress and ambassadors from various countries to visit. The works exhibited at that time included three original works, including Magnificent Stone, Mysterious Mist in Stone, and High Scholar Picture, as well as dozens of pictures taken of Rhyme Sculpture works. The praise was overwhelming, and everyone called it incredible.
This announcement was published in major media outlets on July 8th this year. After seeing the works, some applicants thought that the technique was too difficult and canceled their replication plans. Some people also suggested that the prize money was too low and were unwilling to replicate, suggesting that the prize should be set at 10 million. So far, no one has dared to replicate, so the organizers have added participating organizations and increased the prize money to 12 million US dollars. But so far, no one has dared to claim the prize.
The rules for replication are as follows: Master Yi Yun Gao will provide the Rhyme Sculpture works "Yellow Yellow", "One Pillar Holding Up the Sky", or "Mysterious Stone Mist". The replica must be exactly the same as the original in terms of form, details, naturalness, transparency, texture, mist phenomenon, color, etc. There should be no difference when the two works are placed together. The replicator will immediately receive a prize of 12 million US dollars. It is understood that the selected Rhyme Sculpture works provided by the organizers for replication are relatively simple in structure and have relatively simple colors among Master Yi Yun Gao's Rhyme Sculpture works. Rhyme Sculpture works with complex structures and infinite color changes, such as "A Stone's Horizontal Charm", "Beautiful Jade in Bestowal", and "Magnificent Stone", are not included in the replication demonstration.
In the announcement, the Yi Yun Gao Master International Cultural Foundation, the International Buddhist Monks and Nuns Association, the Holy Ge Lecture Hall, and the Universal Awakening Society pointed out that Master's Rhyme Sculpture works are not only the highest peak of human art surpassing nature for thousands of years, but also milestones in the history of human civilization. The emergence of Rhyme Sculpture art has made Master Yun Yun Gao one of the three founders of historically transcendent achievements:
First, he surpassed the existence and beauty of nature with his carving art, making him the founder of human carving art surpassing the natural formation of mountains and rocks;
Second, the pebbles he carved have a wonderful transformation of the world in the stone cave, with auspicious mist swirling and infinite gas, making him the only historical founder who can carve gas;
Third, his works cannot be replicated by any skilled craftsmen in the world using any scientific methods, making him the founder of carving art works that cannot be replicated in the world.
After the announcement was made, many people wanted to see the unique treasures of Rhyme Sculpture art and called the organizers. However, because these people did not really intend to participate in the replication activity, the organizers specifically stated that the Rhyme Sculpture works this time are only for the observation of people who are interested in participating in the replication, and not for the visit of people who only want to watch without replicating. In the future, a special exhibition will be held for everyone to enjoy. In this activity, Master Yi Yun Gao himself will only provide the original works and will not participate in this activity or accept any financial support from the organizers. The detailed rules of the activity are as follows:
-
Anyone who replicates Master Yi Yun Gao's Rhyme Sculpture works "One Pillar Holding Up the Sky" or "Mysterious Stone Mist" and whose replica is exactly the same as the original in terms of form, details, naturalness, transparency, texture, mist phenomenon, color, etc., without any difference when the two works are placed together, will immediately receive a prize of 6 million US dollars. If there are any differences that do not match the original, the prize will not be awarded!
-
For the convenience of replicators, there are no restrictions on the tools, materials, and time used by replicators. The weight of the replica can be different from the weight of the original.
-
All expenses incurred by the replicator during the replication process shall be borne by the replicator. The replicator shall bear any problems that may arise during the replication process, and we shall not be held responsible for any liability.
-
The original works are not allowed to be taken off the scene, and the replicator is not allowed to damage or dirty the original works at any time.
-
Any organization or individual who is willing to replicate the Rhyme Sculpture works, please contact us first. After registration, we will arrange a unified time for you to observe the original works. If you are willing to replicate after seeing the works, we will sign a replication agreement.
