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 Nobu Dafa King, who had been respected by everyone, was 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 Buddha name being the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha. Since then, people have been calling him "Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha". This is similar to the fact that 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 call him "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), 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 name recognized by the government. The previous names "Yiyun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Dafa King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the announcement of the Namo Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha's Buddha name, 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 recognition of the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha in the news. However, 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 recognition no longer exist.
The Art Master Yiyun Gao's Sculpture Exhibition Contributes the Highest Art to Humanity#
Beyond the Historical Destiny of Replicating Artworks
Master Yiyun Gao, who set the highest record for Chinese paintings in the art auction market with a single painting, recently shocked the world art scene again with his unpredictable and extraordinary sculpture art displayed in California, USA, contributing the highest artistic enjoyment to humanity. His sculptures are inspired by nature, with no traces of artificial carving, and their artistic value surpasses the natural creation, making them breathtaking. What is even more astonishing is that his works cannot be replicated in any way, even through printing or computer simulation. This is an unprecedented breakthrough in the history of human art, and the master's achievements in sculpture have brought the world of art to an extraordinary peak, reaching a transcendent realm.
Master Yiyun Gao's painting "Great King Vajra" was sold for $2,279,112 in the art auction market, setting the highest record for Chinese paintings. Compared to his sculptures, his paintings are relatively easier to obtain, while his sculptures are extremely rare. Art critics who have seen Master Yiyun Gao's sculptures have expressed an incredible expression, saying, "These are not artworks that can be carved by humans! They are vivid and magnificent, surpassing the craftsmanship of the heavens, and their artistic achievements are indescribable. It can be said that the sculptor is an unprecedented art master, a beacon in the art world, or that he is the first sculptor to surpass nature. It is just right to say so."
Master's sculptures have four styles: realistic, abstract, classical, and modern. Each piece captures the hearts and souls of people, with endless beauty and charm. They give people an unprecedented feeling, making the viewers marvel at the sculptor's extraordinary talent. The sculptures are like no other, making the master truly a great art master in the world.
Take the work "Cave" as an example. Its appearance resembles a natural giant rock, with stalactites reaching the waist. When you carefully observe the wonders inside the cave, you can't help but be amazed and wonder if this giant rock was brought from Guilin Ludiyan, Wulingyuan Cave, or Taiwan's Yehliu Geopark. How could it be created by human hands! But upon closer inspection, there are no small caves like this in nature. If you squat down and observe the scenery inside the cave carefully, the stone columns, stalactites, mushroom-shaped stones, and shield-shaped hanging stones are all naturally formed, without any traces of carving. However, the stone material is made of steel resin, which is also beyond the ability of nature. If you want to carve inside the cave, there is no room for it. If it is traced from a natural stalactite cave, where can you find such a large number of naturally formed shapes gathered together? The cave cannot be found with such exquisite stone formations. Ordinary artworks cannot compare to the craftsmanship of nature, and the artistic achievements of this work's carving surpass not only human creation but also the natural wonders of karst caves.
Let's talk about the "Fantastic Cave" which is even more incredible. Under the master's knife, the layout of the strange stones is no different from the natural stone formations. Everywhere in the stone, there are caves within caves, and the changes in the caves are transparent and flowing, with eight sides to observe, each with its own unique charm. It is perfect and flawless, beyond what nature can compare. If you have seen the changes in light and shadow caused by natural caves as the sun and moon move, and admired the creator's ingenuity, when you see this "Fantastic Cave" that is not naturally formed, it can produce various light and shadow changes due to different angles of light source outside the cave, with different colors shining brilliantly, and various wonderful cave shapes, it will give you an even more profound and indescribable artistic realm. The flowing lines are like musical notes leaping, and to fully appreciate the various aesthetic feelings and artistic conception presented by this work, it takes at least forty minutes. It fully demonstrates the high charm of sculpture art that captures people's hearts, far surpassing natural caves. Its artistic achievements come from nature but surpass natural creations. The multiple fascinating aspects of the sculpture make viewers feel a sense of transcendence and holiness. This is already an achievement that opens a new chapter in the history of art. What is even more amazing is that this unique stone layout is recognized by all as something that cannot be replicated in the world. Even if you want to make rubbings, molding, or simulate with a computer, it is impossible. This is a groundbreaking achievement in the history of art.
The sculptures exhibited by Master Yiyun Gao in the exhibition hall in California range from half the height of a person to one zhang high and two zhang long. Each piece gives people the feeling that it takes at least three to five years to complete one piece, and some works even feel like they need several decades to sculpt. However, this is not important. What is important is that his sculptures are more realistic and artistic than the creations of nature, giving viewers a dual visual and mental shock. The inability to replicate his works makes each piece of the master's work a unique and priceless treasure. The contribution that the master has made to the human world through his sculptures is truly immense.
