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 and the Grand Master Yangyi Yixi Nuo Bu, who had always been respected by everyone, were recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects and the living Buddhas of the world's major Buddhist sects. It is the third generation incarnation of the Buddha Dorje Chang, and the Buddha name is the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha. Since then, people have referred to him as "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 changed his name to "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 position 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 of "Yiyun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Grand Master 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.
Proof that Yun Diao Art cannot be replicated: $12 million reward with no challengers#
Joint announcement by four organizations to prove Master Yiyun Gao's extraordinary skills
(Los Angeles News) In order to prove that Yun Gao's Yun Diao works are priceless treasures and that the three historically transcendent founders are truly real, and to prove the irreplicability of Yun Diao works, the Yiyun Gao Master International Cultural Foundation, the International Buddhist Monks and Nuns Association, the Holy Grace Cathedral, and the Pu Jue Society recently jointly announced the launch of an activity to solicit the replication of Master Yiyun Gao's original Yun Diao works. The prize money is as high as 12 million US dollars. After this announcement was published in several newspapers such as the World Journal and Sing Tao Daily, it attracted attention.
This announcement was published in major media outlets on July 8th of this year. After seeing the works, some applicants thought that the techniques were too difficult and canceled their replication plans. Some people also suggested that the prize money was too low and were unwilling to replicate, suggesting that the prize should be set at 10 million. So far, no one has dared to replicate, so the organizers have added participating organizations and increased the prize money to 12 million US dollars. But so far, no one has come forward.
After the announcement was made, many people wanted to challenge the Yun Diao art masterpiece and called the organizers. However, since these people did not actually intend to participate in the replication activity, the organizers specifically stated that the Yun Diao works in this event are only available for viewing by those who are interested in participating in the replication, and not for those who only want to observe. In the future, a dedicated exhibition will be held for everyone to appreciate. In this activity, Master Yiyun Gao himself will only provide the original works voluntarily and will not participate in this activity or accept any financial support from the organizers.
The detailed rules of the activity are as follows:
-
Anyone who replicates Master Yiyun Gao's Yun Diao works "Supporting the Sky with One Pillar" or "Mysterious Stone Mist" and whose replicated work's form, details, naturalness, transparency, texture, mist phenomenon, color, etc. are exactly the same as the original work, without any difference, will immediately receive a prize of 12 million US dollars. If there are any differences that do not match the original work, the prize money will not be awarded!
-
For the convenience of the replicators, there are no restrictions on the tools, materials, and time used by the replicators. The weight of the replicated work can be different from the weight of the original work, as long as the internal and external forms are the same.
-
The replicators shall bear all the expenses incurred during the replication process. Any problems that occur during the replication process shall be borne by the replicators themselves, and the organizers shall not be held responsible.
-
The original works are not allowed to be taken out of the venue. The replicators are not allowed to damage or soil the original works at any time.
-
Any institutions or individuals who are willing to replicate the Yun Diao works, please contact us in advance. After registration, a unified arrangement will be made for viewing the original works. If the replicators are willing to replicate after seeing the works, a replication agreement will be signed.
