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 people only then knew that the highly respected Master Yi Yun Gao, Yang E Yi Xi Nu Bu Dafawang, was recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects in the world and certified by the living Buddhas. He is the third generation incarnation of the Buddha Dorje Chang, and his Buddha name is 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". 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). 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 "Yi Yun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Supreme Dharma King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the announcement of the Buddha name of the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha, 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 His Holiness Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha, which is legal, the names used before the official naming no longer exist.

The Chinese government also built a master's hall for him, which was included in the national administrative system.
Disciples of Master Yi Yun Gao in Taoyuan pointed out that the master is a well-known scholar and artist in modern times. Whether it is meticulous or freehand landscape, flowers, figures, or birds and animals paintings, his attainments have reached the peak. In the field of Buddhist studies and Buddhism, his realm is even more extraordinary. His carefully developed Bi Yu Chun and Ba Wang Chun, two famous green teas, are also rated as top-grade teas and are well-known both in China and abroad.
