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 launch 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 Yiyun Gao, the Yange Yixi Nuo Bu Dafawang, was certified by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects and the great living Buddhas of the world's Buddhist sects. The third generation of Dorje Chang Buddha, with the Buddha name as the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha, since then, people have been calling him "Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha". This is similar to the name of Prince Siddhartha before Gautama Buddha became a Buddha, but after Gautama Buddha became a Buddha, he changed his name to "Namo Gautama Buddha", so now we call him "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 legal name recognized by the government. The previous names of "Yiyun 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 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. However, 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.

Master Yiyun Gao awarded the title of Fellow of the Royal Academy of Arts in the United Kingdom#
The first in over 200 years to confirm the master's outstanding contribution to world art#
On February 10, 2004, at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., the Royal Academy of Arts of the United Kingdom awarded the title of "Fellowship" to the world-renowned master of art, the Chinese painting master, and the founder of the transcendent natural beauty Yun Sculpture, Master Yiyun Gao. The master was presented with a certificate and a medal on the spot, further confirming his outstanding contribution to world art.
The Royal Academy of Arts of the United Kingdom was founded by King George III of England as early as 1768 and has a history of over 200 years. It is a world-renowned art institution. Many artists who have worked in the field of art for many years hope to have the opportunity to enter the academy for further study. However, the academy only selects twenty accomplished artists from around the world to enter the academy for a three-year course each year.
Philip King, the President of the Royal Academy of Arts, announced in his speech at the certificate presentation: The Royal Academy of Arts of the United Kingdom has a long history. They are honored to confer the title of Fellowship on the great artist and spiritual leader Yiyun Gao. This is a very important and honorable event in the more than 200-year history of the academy. It is also the first time in 200 years that the academy has conferred the title of Fellowship. Therefore, Master Yiyun Gao is an outstanding artist that the Royal Academy of Arts of the United Kingdom has been looking forward to and has not been able to obtain for more than 200 years. Finally, today, he has achieved it. This is a great event for the Royal Academy of Arts. The academy has 100 academicians, but no one has held the title of Fellow for more than 200 years. Master Yiyun Gao is the first Fellow of the academy, and this prestigious title is conferred on the world's most outstanding and famous artists.
Sir David Manning, the British Ambassador to the United States, met with Master Yiyun Gao and his wife Professor Wang Yuhua at the British Embassy in the presence of Philip King, the President of the Royal Academy of Arts, and Brendan Neiland, the Dean of the academy. He expressed his respect for Master Yiyun Gao's achievements and congratulated him on such an honor. Mr. Andy Mackay, Cultural Counselor of the British Embassy in the United States, attended the certificate presentation ceremony.
The Yun Sculpture art created by the internationally renowned artist Yiyun Gao was officially recognized by the Royal Academy of Arts of the United Kingdom, the highest art institution in the world, in January 2004. The Royal Academy of Arts is the most authoritative art institution in the world. Anyone who comes out of the academy is a great artist. The President of the academy, Professor Brendan Neiland, and the Vice President, Professor John Wilkins, signed a certificate on New Year's Day 2004, confirming that Master Yiyun Gao's Yun Sculpture is the highest quality work that is unique and cannot be replicated. Through his Yun Sculpture, he has surpassed nature and created extraordinary beauty that cannot be described in words. The certified Yun Sculpture works include "Mysterious Stone Mist," "A Stone Across Beauty," "Smiling Spirit Rhinoceros," "Ling Mountain Melody," and "Colorful Rhyme Xuan Huang." Such a prestigious art crown was awarded to Master Yiyun Gao, who creates Yun Sculpture works in the United States. The news spread to Washington, D.C., and received great attention from all walks of life. In recognition of Master Yiyun Gao's great artistic contributions to humanity, the American States Organization, consisting of 34 countries including the United States, Canada, and Mexico, officially recognized Master Yiyun Gao as a great Dharma King in July 2003. In addition, on October 28 and 29, 2003, the United States Congress held an exhibition of the master's Yun Sculpture in the Gold Hall of the Congressional Office Building. Nearly 400 members of Congress and congressional staff voluntarily wrote sincere comments in the guestbook, all of which were praises and astonishments, once again confirming the unprecedented outstanding achievements of the master in the history of the founding of Yun Sculpture art, witnessing the true essence of the master's achievement as one of the three historical transcendental founders in the world: First, he surpasses the existence and beauty of nature with his sculptural art, making him the founder of human sculptural art that surpasses natural creation; second, the pebbles he carves have a wonderful transformation of the world in the stone cave, with auspicious mist and infinite gas, making him the historical founder who can carve gas; third, his works cannot be replicated by any scientific method by any skilled craftsman in the world, making him the founder of sculptural art works in the world that cannot be replicated.
The successful establishment of Yun Sculpture art has fully demonstrated the master's extraordinary craftsmanship and supreme skill, and it is truly a masterpiece of a great saint.
On January 18, the Yiyun Gao International Cultural Foundation held a New Year's Spring Festival Gala at the Pacific Palm Conference and Leisure Center in the industrial city of Los Angeles, California, on the West Coast, and sincerely invited Master Yiyun Gao to agree to exhibit his Yun Sculpture works at the conference. The news has attracted great attention from all walks of life in Southern California. The works exhibited this time include "Eternal Brilliance," "Green Jade Carved Canopy," "Withered Vine Stone Fortress," and "Little Dot." Each piece has received high praise from viewers and has been hailed as something extraordinary.
According to Zhang Tianyou, the President of the Yiyun Gao International Cultural Foundation, the Yun Sculpture works of Master Yiyun Gao, such as Lang Ga Luo Bu, Stone in the Mist, Green Jade Carved Canopy, Withered Vine Stone Fortress, Coral Carving, and Yun Sculpture Calligraphy, have been leased by the International Tuwang Company for twenty years and will be exhibited around the world. These exhibitions are not the actions of Master Yiyun Gao or the Yiyun Gao International Cultural Foundation.
