Explanation of the "Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha" Title#
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 launch ceremony at the Library of Congress in the United States. The Library of Congress officially collected this book, and people only then learned that the highly respected Master Yi Yun Gao and the Great Dharma King Yang Yi Xi Nu 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 title of the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha. Since then, people have referred to him as "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 say "Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha". In particular, 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 legally recognized name, and the previous titles of "Yi Yun Gao" and the Great Master and Dharma King have ceased to exist. However, this news was published before the announcement of the Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha title, 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 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 names used before the official naming no longer exist.
Yi Yun Gao Art Achievement Exhibition Opens in Jinshan#
February 6, 2006, Monday, World Journal
Congratulations from politicians, affirming the master's contribution to the diversity of American culture
[Reported by Jiang Zhihui, San Francisco, World Journal] The "Yi Yun Gao Master's World Treasure Achievement Exhibition" organized by the Yi Yun Gao Master International Cultural Foundation will be held in San Francisco from February 5th to February 27th. The opening ceremony on the 5th was attended by many politicians who came to congratulate.
Yue Yinliang, Speaker of the State Assembly, Ma Shiyun, San Francisco City Councilor, Joe District, Mark Chunch, Member of the California Asia-Pacific Affairs Committee, Xie Hanping, Representative of the California State Board of Equalization, and Liu Shaohan, Director of the San Francisco Office of California Senator Van Staden, all attended the event to congratulate.
Dong Jiling, Deputy Secretary of the Minority Development Commission of the U.S. Department of Commerce, sent a congratulatory message on behalf of the commission, congratulating the successful exhibition and affirming the master's contribution to the diversity and values of American culture.
He Jiali, on behalf of Los Angeles County Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, sent a congratulatory message, recognizing the master's achievements in art and his contribution to the Chinese community. Jiang Junhui, a member of the California State Board of Equalization, presented a commendation on behalf of the board. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also sent a representative to express his greetings.
This exhibition is the largest-scale exhibition of the Yi Yun Gao Master in the United States. The Yi Yun Gao Master is a Buddhist Dharma King who recently publicly announced his Dharma name as "Yang Yi Xi Nu Bu Yun Gao Dharma King". Many politicians personally welcomed him when he visited Taiwan many years ago, including former National Security Secretary General Jiang Weiguo, former Presidential Office Secretary General Jiang Yanshi, former Premier Tang Fei, and former Chief of the General Staff Liu Heqian.
This exhibition features 18 rare artistic treasures, including rhinoceros carving, three-dimensional painting, calligraphy, jade tablets, stained glass, and more, totaling more than two hundred pieces.
Rhinoceros carving is a unique technique created by the master. The work "Stone in the Mist" seems to show the presence of mist within the sculpture. The three-dimensional paintings are also quite special, with the master showcasing layers through unique techniques. Chinese painting combines ancient and modern techniques from China and abroad. For example, the painting "Majestic Lion" depicts the majesty of a lion without being fierce, with consistent hair thickness, skillfully combining freehand brushwork and meticulous techniques. It once set a record price of over 2.12 million US dollars in the international auction market, making it the highest-priced work by a Chinese painter in the Pacific region.
Mark, the City Councilor of the first district of San Mateo, accepted an interview with this newspaper and said that the master's works are unique and rarely seen, not only beautiful but also inspiring.
Ma Shiyun said that this is an amazing artistic creation. Her mother has been engaged in art education for more than 20 years, so she has been exposed to art since she was young. The master's works left a deep impression on her. She herself has also tried artistic creation, but she feels that she belongs to the left-brained type and is more suitable for analytical thinking like her father.
Yu Yinliang is quite curious about the master's techniques and wants to know how the master gets inspiration for his creations and how he completes such beautiful works.
The exhibition is located at 1822 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA94115.
Admission is free. For inquiries, please call: (415)673-2311.
Exhibition period: February 5th to February 27th, Monday to Thursday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Friday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
