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 Great Dharma King Yangyi Yixi Nuo Bu, who had always been respected by everyone, were recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects and the Great Living Buddhas of the world's Buddhist sects as the third incarnation of the Buddha Dorje Chang, with the Buddha name being the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha. Since then, people have referred to him as "Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha." This is similar to how 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 say "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). From then on, the position of Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha was officially established. Moreover, the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha is also the legal name recognized by the government, and the previous names of "Yi Yun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Great Dharma King no longer 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. Therefore, 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.

"Misty Stone" Carves Out Misty Atmosphere#
Master Artist Yi Yun Gao's New Work Transcends Natural Beauty#
(Los Angeles News) Following the extraordinary carved works of art such as "Fantastic Cave" and "Three-Star Stone" that surpass natural beauty, master artist Yi Yun Gao, a top international artist, completed another astonishing carved artwork called "Misty Stone" in mid-October in the United States. This work has created the highest artistic achievement in the history of carving and has surpassed all of Master Yi's previous works in terms of artistic value.
The "Misty Stone" appears to be a beige pebble, about 2 feet high and 3 feet long, with nothing particularly special about it. However, when you look into the cave, layers upon layers stack up, making it feel like the cave is hundreds of meters away. The layers inside the cave are countless and magically changing. Some places are obscured by mist, with the mist resembling a thin veil, creating a hazy and awe-inspiring atmosphere that is even more marvelous than nature itself.
It is understood that Master Yi Yun Gao himself is quite satisfied with this work, and his evaluation of this work is that if the "Hanging Veil on the Cliff," which is praised by everyone as a work that is more natural and beautiful than nature itself, is rated 30 points, then the artistic achievement of the "Misty Stone" can be said to be 100 points. This shows how much importance and satisfaction Master Yi attaches to this new work.
Master Yi Yun Gao's Chinese paintings have long been the most valuable art by living artists in the world today, and his sculptural artistry is the only one in the world that surpasses the natural beauty of nature.
Art critics who have seen Master Yi's works say that his artistic realm surpasses the fine art created by previous masters, bringing a beautiful enjoyment to human cultural life. However, the art created by the master is at a height that previous artists cannot reach because the achievements of artists in history cannot surpass the energy and realm of natural art. After the emergence of Master Yi Yun Gao's sculptural works, the natural formations of nature, such as stubborn rocks, caves, stalactites, waterfalls inside cliffs, and the magical stone formations created by natural beauty, can no longer be compared to the beauty of the master's works. His works not only surpass the natural structure in terms of naturalness but also far exceed the beauty of natural mountains and rocks in terms of form and layout. Master Yi Yun Gao is indeed the only artistic genius in human cultural art who can surpass nature. For example, works such as "Hanging Veil on the Cliff," "Fantastic Cave," and "Heavenly Arhat Cave" far surpass the natural formations that have formed over thousands of years. Especially the mysterious "Misty Stone," although it is less than 2 feet high, it undergoes countless changes under the light, appearing mysterious and unpredictable. Its beauty is beyond description, and what is even more amazing is that it actually naturally forms a fairy-like mist in the canyon, which is difficult to understand.
Art critics say that a knife can carve out a solid object, but how can it carve out a gas? However, this is an undeniable fact that can be clearly seen with the naked eye. His knife work has indeed carved out gas. The towering buildings and deep valleys, the misty fog, all come to life right in front of your eyes. It is an undeniable and ironclad fact. However, science cannot explain it. It can only be said that the artistic realm has reached the level of "divine craftsmanship surpassing natural creation, incomprehensible and unparalleled." It can be said that Master Yi Yun Gao is the only hero in the history of natural mountain stones who can surpass nature. He has created a brilliant chapter for world human culture in the United States.
