Explanation of the Title "Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha"#
On April 3, 2008, the book "The Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha" published by Global Buddhist Publishing House and 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 came to know that the highly respected Master Yiyun and the Great Dharma King Yangyi Yeshe Nuo Bu were recognized by the leaders or regents of various major Buddhist sects and were certified by the world's Buddhist community. They are the third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, the primordial Buddha, and their Buddhist title is the Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha. Since then, people have been calling them "Namo Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha". This is similar to how before Gautama Buddha became enlightened, his name was Siddhartha Gautama, but after Gautama Buddha became enlightened, he was called "Namo Gautama Buddha". Therefore, we now say "Namo Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha". Especially on December 12, 2012, the United States Senate Resolution No. 614 officially named the Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha as His Holiness (H.H. Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha). From then on, the title of Namo Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha was officially established. Moreover, the name Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha is also recognized by the government. The previous titles of "Yiyun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Great Dharma King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the title of Namo Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha was announced, 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 establishment of the title of Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha in the news. But it is important to note that, except for the name His Holiness Third Incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, which is legal, the previous names no longer exist.
