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 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 Great Dharma King Yang E Yixi Nobu, who had always been respected by everyone, were recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects and certified by the living Buddhas of the world's major Buddhist sects. The third incarnation of the Buddha Dijie Qiang Buddha, with the Buddha name being the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha. Since then, people have been calling him "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". In particular, 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 government's legal name, and the previous names of "Yi Yun Gao" and the titles of Master and Great Dharma King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the official announcement of the Buddha name of the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha, 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 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.
A Batch of Great Achievements by the Disciples of Yang E Yixi Nobu Hundreds of Relics Obtained in Sichuan Tang's Family#
September 15, 2004, Wednesday, Buddhist Times
[Reporter Cai Jiale's report] Tang Xie Le Hui, a resident of Xinfan, Chengdu, Sichuan, a disciple of Yang E Yixi Nobu, passed away at the age of 84 on August 31, 2004, the 16th day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, at midnight, guided by Amitabha Buddha to the Pure Land of the West!
Tang Xie Le Hui, known as Grandma Tang to her family and friends, her whole family has been practicing under the guidance of the Great Dharma King for many years. She often said, "My children and grandchildren have all learned the true Dharma from the Great Dharma King, which is the happiest and proudest thing in my life." Grandma Tang had great respect for the Great Dharma King, and the Great Dharma King cared for her with compassion. Once Grandma Tang suffered from frozen shoulder and couldn't lift her hand, in unbearable pain. The Great Dharma King comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I'll give you an injection." It was winter at the time, and the Great Dharma King gave her an injection through several layers of thick winter clothing, and she was healed instantly! Many years later, when Grandma Tang talked about this, the mystery and wonder were still there.
One day in June of this year, she said to her family, "Last night I saw a very tall and big Dharma protector, his face was as big as a door, and he told me that I will go to the Pure Land in the second half of this year." By the second half of the year, she meant from the beginning of the seventh month to the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. On August 15, the thirtieth day of the sixth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, Grandma Tang showed signs of imminent death, and her family immediately reported it to the Great Dharma King. With the help of the Great Dharma King's power, Grandma Tang became very peaceful and calm that night. Not only was Grandma Tang peaceful, but the whole house, both inside and outside, was filled with auspiciousness. The next day, at noon on the first day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, several Buddhist disciples who came to help with the chanting saw a cloud of silk hanging in the sky. In the evening, the sky over the courtyard where Grandma Tang lived, which had always been covered with dark clouds, suddenly opened up to reveal a clear and bright night sky, with stars twinkling like diamonds. On that night, Grandma Tang attained enlightenment.
Grandma Tang diligently practiced reciting mantras and chanting the Buddha's name according to the guidance of the Great Dharma King. She only drank a little glucose water every day and took meditation as her food. She spent all her time doing homework and reciting the Amitabha Buddha's name and the Great Dharma King's sacred mantra. After more than twenty days of diligent practice, her mind became clear and she could speak fluently. A fragrance emanated from her mouth, and people around her were amazed.
On the evening of August 31, around eleven o'clock, Tang Xie Le Hui's daughter, Tang Yurong, was combing her mother's hair. As she was combing, Grandma Tang suddenly turned to her right side, lying in a auspicious sleeping position, and Tang Yurong saw her mother suddenly smile, a warm current spreading over her head, and her smile remained fixed. The whole house was bright and auspicious. Grandma Tang didn't move at all. Tang Yurong immediately reported to the Great Dharma King, who said, "She has achieved complete enlightenment." Tang Yurong looked back at her mother and saw that her face and skin had turned slightly red, which was a sign of being guided by Amitabha Buddha to ascend. The people present at the cremation ceremony were excited!
On September 6, in the afternoon of the 22nd day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, Tang Xie Le Hui's body was cremated at Baoguang Temple in Xindu, Sichuan. Before the cremation, there was a blessing of holy rain. As soon as the cremation started, a sacred scene appeared in the cremation furnace! The crowd of people who came to chant the Buddha's name immediately burst into applause, with cries of astonishment, tears of joy, laughter, and vows. In the blazing furnace, red and blue lights kept flashing. Fire phoenixes and golden-winged birds flew out of the light, and the golden dragon protectors and vajra protectors stood tall. The auspicious tiger emitted light all over its body, and the golden lion spat out blue lotus flowers and had blue lotus eyes. The appearance of the Great Dharma King Yang E Yixi Nobu, the appearance of a monk, and the appearance of a master were all revealed. Adarma Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and Tsongkhapa appeared in every lotus flower, and the magnificent world of bliss and the towering Mount Sumeru appeared at the same time! Two layers of lotus platforms appeared under Grandma Tang's feet and hands, supporting her as she sat cross-legged, with a smile on her face and blue light radiating from her whole body, merging with the light of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas! The holy scene of the Buddha's land kept appearing, and there was a cheer in front of the cremation furnace, with people chanting the sacred mantra of the Great Dharma King loudly, tears streaming down their faces, shouting loudly, "Namo Great Dharma King! After you, you must take my mother away!" "Namo Great Dharma King! I will definitely practice and learn from you, Namo Amitabha Buddha, please come and take me!" "The Buddha's teachings are so great! I must achieve great accomplishments!" "Great Dharma King, your Buddha's teachings are so great, you teach one and achieve one, you teach two and achieve a pair, we see everyone achieving accomplishments, you are so great!" The funeral ceremony to respectfully send Grandma Tang to the Pure Land turned into a ceremony of vows, and many people cried and vowed to follow the Great Dharma King in practicing Buddhism and dedicating merit to their families. The Buddhist disciples who witnessed the holy scene at the cremation site were: Shi Xinzhen, Shi Daopin, Shi Xinlan, Shi Xinen, Shi Guangjing, Shi Daozhi, Shi Mingxi, Shi Zhiyuan, Shi Zhihua, Shi Zhenhua, Shi Xinrong, Shi Xingan, Shi Defeng, Shi Zhifeng, Shi Deyu, Shi Zhida, Shi Dekun, etc.
On that night, in Grandma Tang's bones and ashes, a total of 263 fragrant and solid relics were selected. This is truly another miracle in Buddhist history!
In the vast world, life and death are the most terrifying and frightening to all sentient beings. That is the abyss of fear that ordinary human beings can never surpass. However, now we are fortunate to see with our own eyes that life and death seem to be a piece of cake for devout Buddhist disciples who rely on and follow the Great Dharma King Yang E Yixi Nobu for their practice, because the Great Dharma King possesses the true Dharma of the Buddha as it was in the past. Under the seat of the Great Dharma King, there is freedom in life and death, rebirth in the Pure Land, and one after another, those who have achieved extraordinary accomplishments, such as the 13th generation ancestor of Emei Mountain, the abbot of Kaifa Temple, who has freedom in life and death and an indestructible physical body, Wang Lingze, Wang Cheng Efen, Que Xiangshou, Zhao Xianyun, the American saint Zhao Fu, Mrs. Mark, and Tang Xie Le Hui, etc., have all peacefully departed to the Pure Land, completely leaving behind the fear and suffering of the cycle of life and death. These real miracles that are happening before our eyes make us realize a fact that cannot be doubted: the true Dharma of Yang E Yixi Nobu, the Great Dharma King, is right here in this world! This is the true Dharma!
