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 and certified by the living Buddhas. The third generation of Dorje Chang Buddha, the Buddha's name is 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 titles of "Yi Yun Gao" and the Grand Master and the Supreme Dharma King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the official announcement of the 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 recognition 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.

Unprecedented Exhibition of Mysterious Art in the Congressional Chamber#
Master Yi Yun Gao's Art is Unseen in the Human World Members of Congress Praise and Admire#
The United States Congress held an unprecedented art exhibition in the Congressional Office Building. International master artist Yi Yun Gao was invited to exhibit his unique rhyming sculpture art, which surpassed the wonders of nature, exclusively in the political hall of the Congressional Chamber. The exhibition attracted a continuous stream of visitors, mainly consisting of members of Congress and congressional staff, who all praised and admired the unique and incredible beauty and wisdom expressed in the rhyming sculptures. It is the best gift that Master Yi Yun Gao has brought to the world.
The rhyming sculpture exhibition was held in the Golden Hall of the Congressional Office Building (Rayburn Building) on October 28th and 29th. The exhibited works included three rhyming sculptures: "Lang Ga Luo Bu," "Huang Huang," and "Mysterious Stone Mist," as well as more than ten rhyming sculpture paintings. "Lang Ga Luo Bu" has a smooth rhythm, unpredictable color changes, and a magical and fascinating charm that surpasses the wonders of nature. It is truly a rare and extraordinary beauty, captivating and enchanting. "Huang Huang" shines with a captivating brilliance, with noble and elegant colors, pure and vibrant, and unpredictable variations in layers, creating a magical scene. Even more amazing is the "Mysterious Stone Mist," which is filled with auspicious mist on one side and completely devoid of mist on the other. Two identical pebbles, when viewed from the opening, have the same structure and color, but one is covered in dense fog while the other is clear and visible. The stark contrast is astonishing, making one wonder how the gas is carved, showcasing Master Yi's extraordinary craftsmanship and making a great contribution to humanity.
On the first day of the exhibition, more than three hundred people came to visit. After word of mouth spread among the visitors, the venue was packed on the second day, and people had to queue up to enter. The exhibited works were astonishing. Members of Congress who visited the exhibition highly praised Master Yi Yun Gao's rhyming sculptures. They expressed that having such extraordinary works of art in the Congress is a great blessing for humanity.
Congressman Joe Wilson, after visiting the exhibition, said that he had never seen such beautiful works of art. Regarding the "Huang Huang" piece, he marveled at how a single color could exude such a noble charm and variations in color layers without any visible carving marks. The mist produced by the "Mysterious Stone Mist" and the multi-layered changes in the cave left him in awe. He felt honored to have seen such outstanding works.
Congresswoman Jocelyn Johnson was deeply moved by the rhyming sculptures, which express a beauty beyond the human world in the form of art. She believed that such beautiful and incredible artistic creations should be treasured in major museums around the world. She said that these works are definitely inspired by some kind of divine spirit, allowing the world to appreciate the beauty that does not exist in this world through artistic creations. She continued to say that the author should be a saint himself, otherwise, how could they possess such incredible ability to create such extraordinary and transcendent works of art?
Many visitors, upon seeing the works, learned that four organizations were offering a reward of twelve million dollars to replicate the rhyming sculptures. They firmly believed that this unique art form of rhyming sculpture cannot be replicated. Regardless of their racial background, all viewers praised the "rhyming sculpture" and regarded it as a gift from another world, bringing great artistic enjoyment to humanity. The impressions they wrote down all described it as "amazing," "unique," "unparalleled," "magical," "incredible," "too beautiful," "too mysterious," "beyond nature," "a beauty that cannot be found in the human world," and other similar words.
A white gentleman who claimed to have knowledge of Buddhism and said that "Westerners understand what he understands" came to the venue with his artist wife. After seeing the rhyming sculptures, he told the staff present that the author of the rhyming sculptures is definitely not an ordinary person; he must be a Zen master or a great saint. Otherwise, how could he carve the inner layers of the pebbles in the small opening of the "Mysterious Stone Mist" piece to create a scene resembling white jade, and how could he cover it with a misty fog in the network of white jade? When he shone a flashlight into the cave, he was even more shocked. The mist immediately dissipated, revealing the beauty of the white jade, and when he turned off the flashlight, the mist immediately returned, shrouding everything as before. He exclaimed in astonishment, "This rhyming sculpture must not be made by Master Yi Yun Gao. It should be the Buddha or God who, through Master Yi Yun Gao, brought this beauty of rhyming sculpture to the world, revealing the existence of the sacred law and bringing the highest artistic enjoyment to people. Creating rhyming sculptures is a mission bestowed upon Master Yi Yun Gao by the Buddha."
A staff member who had been serving at the venue for two days told reporters that before the exhibition was about to end, they suddenly discovered that "Lang Ga Luo Bu" looked different from both near and far. When viewed at different times, it was isolated from the outside world in a lightbox, and such colorful and magnificent carvings seemed to come to life, with colors changing and flowing like water, flowing smoothly in the layers of ever-changing natural beauty. It was then understood why it was named "rhyming sculpture," as it conveys a dynamic and flowing rhythm.
Another white woman named Sandy was deeply fascinated by the rhyming sculptures. She spent a long time focusing on the "Huang Huang" piece for two consecutive days. She told reporters that this single yellow artwork produces various shades and brightness of noble and elegant yellow under different lighting conditions.
When asked what tools are needed to create rhyming sculptures, Master Yi Yun Gao said that any tool can be used. When asked what realm the exhibited rhyming sculptures wanted to express, Master Yi Yun Gao replied that everyone has different realms, so the perceived realm will be different. When asked about the temperature required for firing rhyming sculptures, the master said that any temperature is fine. When asked about the materials used for rhyming sculptures, the master said that any material can be used.
Indeed, the realm of Master Yi Yun Gao is not something that ordinary people can comprehend. His art is truly beyond the realm of the world.
When someone offered five million dollars and twelve million dollars to purchase the rhyming sculptures, Master Yi Yun Gao calmly said that no matter how high the price, he would not agree to sell them because creating rhyming sculptures is meant to bring the most beautiful artistic enjoyment to the world. It is priceless and belongs to all of humanity. He is not qualified to sell rhyming sculptures.
In July of this year, the American States Organization, composed of 34 countries including the United States and Canada, held a grand exhibition of Master Yi Yun Gao's rhyming sculpture art in Washington, D.C. The exhibited works included "Tang Huang Kuai Shi Xi" (Grand Stone Block), "Shen Mi Shi Zhong Wu" (Mysterious Stone Mist), and "Gao Shi Tu" (High Scholar Picture). This exhibition of Master Yi Yun Gao's rhyming sculptures in the United States Congress is once again a recognition of his artistic achievements and contributions to human civilization.
Master Yi Yun Gao's rhyming sculptures, which surpass the history of human art, have successfully been exhibited in the United States Congress, not only opening a new chapter in art activities in Congress but also allowing international artists to enter mainstream society with the characteristic of art transcending race, national borders, and political barriers, and showcasing the great contributions that artists have made to humanity.
