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 launching 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 the Great Dharma King Yang Yi Xino Bu, who had been respected by everyone, were 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 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), and since then, the position 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, and the previous names of "Yi Yun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Great Dharma King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the announcement of the Namo 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.
The Manifestation of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Furnace#

Many people in the Buddhist hall saw the Amitabha Buddha statue on the Buddha altar emit three strong golden halos, each lasting about ten minutes, and the photos of the elderly lay disciple and the golden light shining on the head of the Dharma body at the same time. The Buddha light outside was still brilliant, and the disciples of the Great Dharma King were all focused on chanting the Buddha's name in the Buddhist hall. The monk of Baoguang Temple said anxiously, "Why don't you come out and see the Buddha light? There are so many Bodhisattvas in the sky!"
On May 29th, Chinese time, the cremation ceremony of lay disciple Wang Cheng Efen was officially held, presided over by Master Jixin of Baoguang Temple. As soon as the grand turning mantra ceremony ended, flames began to surge, and the wooden niche had not yet fully caught fire, various sacred Buddhist realms appeared! Colorful Buddha light surrounded the earth and shimmered. The cheers of seeing the sacred realm were heard one after another. Mobile phones, cameras, and video cameras were held high, without focusing or framing, capturing everything. Sacred realms were everywhere. Suddenly, the raging fire turned into a dragon and soared, spewing fierce fire and roaring. Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Four-Armed Guanyin, Manjushri Bodhisattva holding a wisdom sword suddenly appeared. "Seed letters," vajras, protectors, male lions, phoenixes, lotus flowers, rainbows... various wonders emerged continuously with the rising of the fire. The sound of the Great Dharma King's chanting was heard from the Buddhist instruments, and suddenly nectar descended from the sky, sweet and mellow. The nectar only fell on the position of the cremation furnace, and there was none anywhere else. The emergence of the sacred realm made the crowd boil with joy. This is a scene of joy that has never appeared since the construction of the cremation furnace in Baoguang Temple. Those who witnessed the sacred realm on the spot were given Dharma names such as Shi Xin En, Shi Xin Feng, Shi Xin Yu, Shi Zhi Wen, Shi Xin Miao, Shi Dao Zhen, Shi Dao Chun, Shi Dao Zhi, Shi Xin Xiao, Shi Zhi Lian, Shi Xin Yuan, Shi Guang Xiu, Shi Dao Guang, Shi Guang Wen, Qu De Da Mu, Shi Zhi De, Shi Yi Zeng, Shi Zhi Da, Shi Zhi Xiu, Shi Zhen Xiong, Shi Zhen De, Shi Dao Shan, Shi De Hai, Shi Guang Yun, Shi Zhi Qing, Shi Guang Ling, Shi Zhi Zhang, Shi Zhi Ming, Shi Zhi Hai, Shi Guang Feng, Shi De Ming, Shi De Chao, Shi Zhi Bo, and many other unfamiliar people, all of whom were there praising and worshiping on the spot.
What is even more astonishing is that more than sixty colorful relics, including yellow and white top-grade relics, were selected from the ashes of lay disciple Wang Cheng Efen! Among them, there are even diamond-shaped relics, which have caused a sensation in Baoguang Zen Temple and the Chinese Buddhist community.
