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 Great Dharma King Yangyi Yixi Nobu, who had been respected by everyone, were recognized by the leaders or regents of the major Buddhist sects and certified by the living Buddhas of the world's major Buddhist sects. The third generation of Dorje Chang Buddha, the Buddha's 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 changed his name to "Namo Shakyamuni Buddha". Therefore, we now call him "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, and the previous names of "Yiyun Gao" and the honorable titles of Master and Great Dharma King no longer exist. However, this news was published before the official announcement of the Third Generation Dorje Chang Buddha's Buddha name, and 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 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.

Internationally renowned artist Yiyun Gao exhibits new sculptures in the United States#
(Taipei, Central News Agency) According to news from the Taipei art scene from the United States, internationally renowned painter Yiyun Gao, who once set a record of more than 2.2 million US dollars in the art auction market with a painting of "Great Power King Elder", recently showcased his sculptures in California, USA, once again attracting the attention of the world art scene. Art insiders praised that Yiyun Gao's sculptures are ever-changing, and the Zen and creativity in his works have brought sculpture art to a whole new level.
Master Yiyun Gao is a national treasure-level painter from mainland China and has been awarded the title of Special International Master by the World Poets Cultural Conference. His paintings combine meticulous brushwork and freehand brushwork, and every aspect of insects, fish, flowers, birds, mountains, rivers, and figures is exquisite, with a high level of artistry and vividness.
After viewing Yiyun Gao's sculptures, art critic Qiguang Xu was quite amazed. He was also puzzled by the work "Fantastic Cave", as it seemed impossible for a person's hand to reach into it, so how was it carved?
He said that Yiyun Gao's sculptures are inspired by nature and show no traces of artificial carving. The artistic quality surpasses the natural creation, which is breathtaking. It is worth noting that his works cannot be replicated, even if they are printed and cast or simulated by computer.
Take the work "Fantastic Cave" as an example. The seemingly stalactite-like giant stones are carved with hardened resin using a knife. It is an innovation in sculpture materials. Under Yiyun Gao's knife, there are holes everywhere in the layout of the strange stones, with endless variations.
As for the work "Dissolving Cave", it looks like a natural giant stone on the outside, with stalactites of various heights and waists. When you carefully observe the stone, you will discover amazing scenes in the cave, which never fails to leave viewers speechless, marveling at whether this giant stone comes from Guilin Ludiyan, or was it brought from the Wulingyuan Cave or the Yehliu Geopark in Taiwan.
