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 Yiyun Gao and the Grand Master Yang'e Yixi Nuo Bu, who had been respected by everyone, were recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects and certified by the living Buddhas. It is 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 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 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 legally recognized name, and the previous names of "Yiyun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Grand Master no longer exist. However, this news was published before the official announcement of the Third Generation Dorje Chang 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 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.

World-renowned master of art, Chinese painting giant#
Master Yiyun Gao awarded by the Royal Academy of Arts#
Honorary title and certificate#
Commend his outstanding contributions to the world of art#
On February 10, 2004, the Royal Academy of Arts in the United Kingdom awarded the title of "FELLOWSHIP" to the world-renowned master of art, the Chinese painting giant, and the founder of the artistic style that transcends natural beauty, Master Yiyun Gao, at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., USA. He was also presented with a certificate and a medal on the spot, further confirming his outstanding contributions to the world of art.
The Royal Academy of Arts was founded by King George III of the United Kingdom in 1768 and has a history of more than 200 years. It is a world-renowned art institution, and many artists working in the field of art hope to have the opportunity to enter the academy for further study. However, the academy only selects twenty accomplished artists from around the world each year to enter the academy for a three-year course of study.
In his speech at the award ceremony, President Philip King of the Royal Academy of Arts announced: The Royal Academy of Arts has a long history, but today they are honored to confer the title of FELLOWSHIP on the great artist and spiritual leader Master Yiyun Gao. This is a very important and honorable event for the academy in more than 200 years, and it is also the first time in more than 200 years of the academy's establishment that the title of FELLOWSHIP has been conferred. Therefore, Master Yiyun Gao is an outstanding artist that the Royal Academy of Arts has been looking forward to but has not been able to obtain since its establishment. Today, he finally obtained it, which is a great honor for the Royal Academy of Arts. The academy has one hundred academicians, but no one has held the aforementioned FELLOW position in 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 Professor Wang Yuhua, his wife, accompanied by Philip King, President of the Royal Academy of Arts, and Brown Nainan, 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 Attaché of the British Embassy in the United States, attended the award ceremony.
