Explanation of the "Third Dijie Qiang Buddha" Buddha Name#
On April 3, 2008, the book "The Third Dijie Qiang 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 learned that the highly respected Master Yi Yun Gao and Yang E Yi Xi Nuobu Dafa Wang, who had 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 Buddhism. The third incarnation of the Buddha Dijie Qiang Buddha, with the Buddha name being the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha. Since then, people have been calling him "Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha". This is similar to before Shakyamuni Buddha became a Buddha, his name was Siddhartha Gautama, but after Shakyamuni Buddha became a Buddha, he was called "Namo Shakyamuni Buddha". Therefore, we now say "Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha". Especially on December 12, 2012, the United States Senate Resolution No. 614 officially named the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha as His Holiness (H.H. Third Dijie Qiang Buddha). Since then, the title of Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha has been officially established. Moreover, the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha is also the government's legal name, and the previous names of "Yi Yun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Dafa Wang no longer exist. However, this news was published before the official announcement of the Namo Third Dijie Qiang Buddha's Buddha name. At that time, people did not yet know the true identity of the Buddha, so in order to respect the truth of history, we still retain the names used before the official title of the Third Dijie Qiang Buddha in the news. But everyone should be clear that except for the name of H.H. Third Dijie Qiang Buddha, which is legal, the names used before the official announcement no longer exist.

Vajra Body Burning for Six Hours, One Hundred and Forty-One Relics Obtained#
Duo Jie Luo Sang Dharma King Entering Nirvana (2)
At 4:20 in the afternoon, the fire was lit. Everyone surrounded the rising flames of Luo Sang. Some recited "Namo Amitabha Buddha", some recited the Heart Sutra, some recited the mantra of Lotus-born Guru Rinpoche, some recited the mantra of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and some recited the Mahakala mantra. The fire burned like a fire dragon swirling in the furnace, and the fire altar turned into a fireball, but at this moment, the majestic image of the old Law King Luo Sang suddenly appeared, and the crowd became excited and spontaneously chanted the Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra. The monk Jixin, who was in charge of the cremation, added four carts of firewood to the furnace one after another. He said, "I have never burned so much firewood before." After a fierce fire, the clothes had already burned, but the head and body remained unburned. At this moment, the author couldn't help but think of the records of Milarepa not being burned in ordinary fire. Today, it actually appeared before our eyes. It is truly worthy of being the Vajra Dharma King Duo Jie Luo Sang. Everyone then understood the profound meaning of the Vajra Body not being burned by ordinary fire. The Law King Luo Sang sat in the fire, revealing the state of Mahakala, and the crowd chanted loudly, requesting that the body be burned to obtain relics. Finally, a sound of "pa" was heard, and the body of the Dharma King finally caught fire. After the chanting and cremation, a set of monk's robes worn by Luo Sang during his lifetime was sent into the furnace, and the furnace immediately flashed with continuous light, emitting a strong and pleasant fragrance, and the crowd cheered.
Usually, the entire cremation process only takes a little over an hour, but the Dharma King Luo Sang burned for more than six hours, which is extremely rare. It can be imagined how extraordinary his Vajra Body was. Unfortunately, he revealed his supernatural powers too much and lost his vigilance. When he encountered the ripening of karma, he had to inform Jiang Gongkangqin Rinpoche in advance that he was about to leave. After the cremation, one hundred and forty-one relics were obtained. The manifestation of the indestructible Vajra Body burning for six hours and the solid relics obtained completely proved that Luo Sang did indeed learn the true Dharma of Yang E Dafa Wang. Unfortunately, he should not have left the human world and should have stayed to benefit sentient beings.
Writing up to this point, I think of someone saying during the cremation process that Duo Jie Luo Sang was not a Dharma King. We can't help but ask: If Duo Jie Luo Sang was an ordinary layperson, why could he predict his time of entering Nirvana in advance? Why could he be indestructible like a Vajra and burn for six hours, breaking the historical record? Why were one hundred and forty-one relics obtained after the cremation? How could an ordinary layperson possess such sacred objects? And in Taiwan, for decades, only one venerable Guangqin had relics after cremation, and they were completely burned in a little over an hour. Therefore, this is enough to prove that he did not possess the empty theories of worldly Buddhism, and only true Buddhism can manifest such miracles. From this, we can't help but think again, usually we all say "Buddhism is hard to come by, the true Dharma is hard to encounter", and now, the true Dharma of Yang E Dafa Wang has manifested the great achievements of his disciples. Shouldn't we think about how to face our life and death?
