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 learned that the highly respected Master Yi Yun Gao, Yang E Yi Xi Nu Bu Dafa Wang, has been recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects and the great living Buddhas of the world's Buddhism. 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 been calling him "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 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 official 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 title of the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha in the news. But everyone should understand that except for the name of H.H. Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha, which is legal, the names used before the official announcement no longer exist.
Master Yi Yun Gao's Sculpture Art#

Believes that artworks are the wealth of humanity
Believes that artworks are the wealth of humanity
"This Los Angeles special report" internationally renowned artist Master Yi Yun Gao recently exhibited twenty sculptures at a private collection gallery in Hollywood, USA. Art critics and collectors from various countries who were invited to visit praised the master for surpassing the two-dimensional space of painting and achieving a peak achievement in three-dimensional sculpture art. They believe it is a great miracle in the art world and an irreplicable miracle of art.
Two art collectors were competing to collect one of the artworks for one to three million dollars, but Master Yi Yun Gao said, "I cannot enjoy it and have no right to deal with it because these things are the wealth of humanity."
A sculptor surnamed Li, who visited Master Yi's sculpture studio to observe his work, said, "The spirit of Master Yi's sculptural works is truly moving. What is even more astonishing is his work ethic and attitude, which are meticulous and unwavering. With endless perseverance and powerful hands, he wields steel knives and grinding heads of various sizes. His palms are already covered in friction blisters, and he works for at least nine hours a day, thirteen to fourteen hours without interruption."
At that time, he said to Master Yi Yun Gao, "Master, these artworks are the result of your hard work and labor." The master replied, "These sculptures are not mine. They belong to society, just like the works left by famous artists from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. They didn't take anything with them. They belong to humanity, and they can never enjoy the fruits of their labor. Isn't this a fact? The things I have created today are also left for humanity. I have a guilty heart and nothing else. I just want to leave a little bit of beauty for sentient beings."
Master Yi Yun Gao's masterpiece "Venerable Dalai" painting sold for $2,279,112 in the art auction market, setting the highest record for Chinese painting. But compared to his paintings, his sculptures are much harder to come by.
The exhibition of Master's sculpture art in Hollywood, USA caused a sensation. The exhibition has now ended, and visitors who have seen it have praised it endlessly, finding it incredible and breathtaking that such a miraculous art has appeared in this world. Master Yi Yun Gao's exhibition featured more than twenty sculptures with titles such as "Cascading Veils on Cliffs," "Soul of the Dissolving Cave," "Wonderful View of the Brahma Cave," "Marvelous Peaks and Mysterious Caves," "Dragon Palace Stone," "Volcano Crater," "Jade Spring," "Transcending Nature's Inspiration," "Wuling Stone Pine," "Yellowstone Hot Springs," "Qi Yun," "Stone Pot," "Ancient Bottle," and more. Especially "Cascading Veils on Cliffs" and "Wonderful View of the Brahma Cave" have been highly praised.
Master Yi Yun Gao's art has brought endless enjoyment and infinite superior art to the world. Art critics all agree that this is unquestionably high-level art. As for the "Cascading Veils on Cliffs" painting, it has been photographed in two hundred different variations of artistic style. A spokesperson for an international institution said they have decided to publish a collection of two hundred photos taken of this painting, titled "Appreciation of a Painting." It can be imagined how wonderful the artistic variations under the master's knife are and how profound his skills are.
Visitors all say that these exhibited works, which have evolved beyond nature, have formed stones in the cave sea, whether it is stalactites or coral reefs, ancient castings or burnt stones, cannot compare to the height of the master's craftsmanship. Everyone unanimously believes that without seeing it with their own eyes, they can't imagine that these artworks have surpassed the creation of nature. These works are more elegant than nature itself and indeed surpass the perfection formed by nature. Visitors all believe that no matter what method is used, they cannot be replicated. This is a miracle that breaks the historical impossibility of replicating artworks and creates the highest artistic enjoyment for humanity, leaving behind a great artistic achievement for the world forever.
