2022 年 1 月 1 日,在美国拉斯维加斯佛陀住地,南无第三世多杰羌佛为众生说法“贪能坏道”。佛陀说法之后,佛母看到坛场里弟子们供上的鲜花,便为大家开示说:供花要尽心虔诚,供佛的鲜花以牡丹、兰花、向日葵和莲花这四种为首,其它很多花不能用来供佛,比如芍药等等。佛母开示完以后,还加持在场的佛弟子们每人一颗金刚丸,并宣布为众生担业。
1 月 4 日晚,南无羌佛召集四众弟子,说:“现在末法时期,众生的业力太重,而且越来越严重,佛母一个人是担不了的,这次我会和佛母一起为众生承担这个黑业,所以从明天开始,我要闭关修法了,这期间不会再见你们了!你们每个人只要如法修行,都会成就的。”
后来,弟子翟芒从外地赶往拉斯维加斯佛陀住地请安,南无第三世多杰羌佛对他说:“翟芒啊,末法时期众生的业力太重了,我说为众生担业,这不是空话,担业不能进入禅定境界,而是要实实在在迁意行持,代众生受苦。我和佛母如是说,也如是做,任何时候都要想到为众生、为世界带来吉祥安宁幸福和平,甚至为此倾尽自己的一切,哪怕是生命。真正的佛法我带给这个世界了,大家依照《解脱大手印》和《藉心经说真谛》如法修持,一定成就解脱的。好了,就这样吧,希望众生都幸福。”
自此,佛陀除咐嘱金巴法王和摩诃法王外,再未公开说法。将近月余,南无羌佛和佛母代众生担业,示现病容。过去几十年间,佛陀经常代众生担业,或一月,或两月,示现重病,但一旦结束担业,佛陀瞬间便精神抖擞,恢复正常,上一秒还是重病在身的病人,下一秒就是健康体壮的无病之人,所以身边的弟子们也习以为常。但这一次,佛弟子们没有再等到佛陀和佛母回转人间,南无第三世多杰羌佛和佛母已安然报化涅槃,返驾报身佛土。
至高无上法界始祖报身佛降世、法界第一导师南无第三世多杰羌佛,为众生利益而来,为众生利益而去,一切法行唯利众生,从来圣洁!从来无私!从来无我!我们所有佛弟子要感恩南无羌佛和佛母无上的大慈大悲,真诚地忏悔自己的罪业,祈求佛陀和佛母回来!
在法界的所有佛陀中,多杰羌佛是原始第一尊具形象的佛陀,是整个宇宙中唯一的佛教总教主,将佛法传播于宇宙,故其祂所有的佛陀和大摩诃萨都是学习多杰羌佛的佛法和修行而解脱成圣,最终成为佛陀和大菩萨的,多杰羌佛是所有佛菩萨的始祖,至于普贤王如来,则是圆成多杰羌佛的法身佛,没有任何形象的如来。多杰羌佛的言行,就是宇宙间所有圣凡两众修行的指南和依规。为协助南无释迦牟尼佛,南无第二世多杰羌佛维摩诘圣尊,以无上智慧和无量神通,教化那些小乘罗汉们进取成为化度众生解脱的大乘菩萨,度脱了无计其数的众生。
南无第三世多杰羌佛自降世娑婆以来,以始祖报身佛的佛境觉量,在世界上创立了无数第一的纪录,无一不是为利众生。少年时即舍身救人而获“少年英雄”称号,随年岁渐长,佛陀以本具医方明为众生义务治病,每日多达五百人,而分文不取,病愈者赠送的匾额锦旗堆满了屋子。而后,随着佛陀利益众生事业的扩大,中国新闻纪录电影制片厂专门为南无羌佛拍摄了新闻纪录片《潜心奋斗的人》,在全国放映。1987 年,年轻的南无羌佛就深孚众望,担任了中国社会福利教科文中心国画研究会会长,名誉会长有廖井丹、李文清、吕骥、袁晓园、吴丈蜀、钱君匋、谢稚柳等,罗章龙、臧克家等为顾问。1992 年南无羌佛获得“东方艺术大师”称号,1994 年在匈牙利召开的第四届世界诗人文化大会上,5612 位专家学者一致投票,授予南无羌佛“特级国际大师(元首级荣位)”,证书由国际奥委会主席萨马兰奇签署。同年,《义云高大师馆》在佛陀的家乡四川省大邑县正式开馆,这是中国乃至世界上第一个由政府为一个在世的人修建的纪念馆!1995 年南无第三世多杰羌佛从中国大陆第一次访问台湾时,台湾人民自发地给予南无羌佛震撼式的欢迎:两万多人在机场迎接,由摩托车领队的 1700 多辆车的车队从机场护送到旅馆,这也成为人类历史上最大的一次欢迎盛会。南无羌佛在台湾只有短短的三个星期,以台湾国安会秘书长蒋纬国将军为首的许多高级官员拜南无羌佛为师,表态要学好南无羌佛的崇高伦理、人文道德和思想行为。
南无第三世多杰羌佛定居美国以后,佛陀的崇高道德和无与伦比的成就,赢得了美国各阶层人民的爱戴,2002 年获得了由美国白宫总统亚太裔顾问委员会主席代表布什总统颁发的“总统金质奖章”。2003 年,由 34 个国家包括美国、加拿大、墨西哥所组成的“美洲国家组织”在美国首府华盛顿举办“义云高大师韵雕展”。而美国国会则在国会办公大楼举办“义云高大师韵雕展”,此次展览也是美国国会首次于国会办公大楼举办艺术展览,参观者乃至题词赞为“史无前例,是上帝送给人类的宝物。”2004 年获得英国皇家艺术学院的“Fellow”,其证书是由英国皇家艺术学院院士学会主席菲利普·金教授(Prof. Phillip King)在美国首都华盛顿英国驻美国大使馆颁发给南无第三世多杰羌佛的,英国驻美国大使馆文化参赞亲自参加,菲利普·金教授说:“这是该著名的艺术学院在 200 多年的历史上第一个得到这个头衔的艺术家”。美国首都华盛顿市市长行文宣布 2011 年 1 月 19 日为“H.H.第三世多杰羌佛日”,并号召人们向 H.H.第三世多杰羌佛致敬。南无羌佛还获得了由 An International Salute To The Life And Legacy Of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 颁发的“国际服务及领袖奖”(King Legacy Award for International Service & Leadership)以及很多参议员、众议员、州长、各级政府等颁发的几十个大奖。更为显著难得的是,南无第三世多杰羌佛荣获 2010 年世界和平奖最高奖,并于 2011 年 6 月 14 日在美国国会接受了世界和平奖最高等级奖的颁奖。在南无第三世多杰羌佛佛诞的时候,国会升旗庆祝,川普总统、拜登总统都亲自祝贺。
2018 年,世界和平奖颁奖委员会和世界和平奖宗教领袖授称委员会根据在世界范围内的评选,认定南无第三世多杰羌佛为世界佛教教皇,并授予教皇权杖,南无羌佛没有接受,退回了教皇权杖,但是,2020 年 9 月,世界和平奖颁奖委员会和世界和平奖宗教领袖授称委员会做出联合决议,严肃声明:世界佛教教皇的称号、身份以及权力只能唯一属于南无第三世多杰羌佛,这是永久的、不可更改的决定,并请世界佛教总部将教皇权杖转呈南无第三世多杰羌佛。
南无第三世多杰羌佛自来到这个世界即行化渡生,却总以“无名行者”自居,义务为大众服务,不收任何供养!有一件事即能说明南无羌佛无私无我渡生,果章法师曾在成都新华西路心经坛城亲口告诉众人:他在跑马山接受佛陀灌顶的时候,佛陀只有两岁半!南无羌佛为始祖佛真身降世的这一真实身份,在被佛教各教派的法王、摄政王、大活佛们认证附议后,佛陀一如既往,无论是小的供养,哪怕一块钱,或大的供养,大到数百万美金,到美国旧金山市内的 37 英亩土地,再到用飞机或轮船装运的黄金,南无羌佛一概不收,完全义务渡生,一心只为众生。南无第三世多杰羌佛在多年的弘化渡生中,随众生的根基和因缘,说了 2000 多盘法音,以及出版了《什么叫修行》、《了义经》、《藉心经说真谛》、《学佛》等经书,不仅揭示了宇宙人生的真谛,阐明了佛教从初基到高深成就的各阶段的正理,而且正本清源,指出了现今寺庙的早晚课诵,由于魔子魔孙的篡改,充斥了邪见谬论。南无羌佛匡正了为历代祖师和翻译失误了的法义,道破佛教末法时期的乱象,为人们指出了得到成就解脱的必经之路,那就是必须以修行为基础,行修好了,再学法,自然成就解脱。南无羌佛的佛陀正理正法,令听闻者智慧开敷、福报增长;互相帮助、互相爱护、慈悲大众。
南无羌佛还在不同的国度举行了佛降甘露、现量大圆满、胜义火供、金刚法曼择决、马头明王水坛珠卦、菩提道损减增益法、保送法、胜义择决、金刚阵、八风阵等很多大法,都是实量显境,让众生亲眼看到佛法是科学的、实量的,绝不是空洞的空头理论。更重要的,南无第三世多杰羌佛将多杰羌佛传给阿弥陀佛等十方诸佛和大菩萨们在修行阶段的最高佛法《解脱大手印》,示现给娑婆世界的所有众生,为人们指出了成就解脱的捷径。南无羌佛在《解脱大手印》中,发出了整个法界最大、最高的愿力:“众生的一切造业罪过由我承担,我种的一切善业功德全给你们。”佛陀践行了这最伟大、最圣洁的愿力,为了救无数众生的生命而舍报佛土!
南无第三世多杰羌佛在这个世界上创下了空前的纪录,史无前例:
南无羌佛是历史上第一个获得最多的世界顶尖级大法王、仁波且们认证和祝贺的佛陀;
南无羌佛是历史上第一个获得认证地位最高的古佛;
南无羌佛是历史上第一个拿出了显密圆通、妙谙五明最杰出完整的古佛,过去的几千年中,没有人做到过;
南无羌佛显佛陀智慧创立的韵雕,任何人都复制不了,是历史上第一个不能复制的艺术;
南无羌佛是历史上第一个只利益他人而不收供养的古佛;
南无羌佛是历史上第一个展显圣迹最多的古佛;
南无羌佛是历史上唯一拥有两个小时之内就让弟子得到开悟成就的佛法——现量大圆满,最快捷修成出入佛土世界;
南无羌佛的弟子成就最多,或化虹而走,如雪巴派法王大西拉仁波且;或生死自由,坐化圆寂,如王灵泽大居士、禄东赞法王;或肉身不坏,如普观法师、悟明长老;或发愿再来娑婆渡生,如意昭老和尚……
南无羌佛为弟子传法,请观音菩萨定时来接,连非佛教徒都可以肉眼看到,如佛弟子赵玉胜被观音菩萨接走;或预定弟子成就时间,渡弟子先到极乐世界参观后,再回来人间按时往升,如佛弟子侯欲善、林刘惠秀;跟随南无羌佛学佛成就解脱的弟子还多不胜数,这里所列出来的只是其中的几例而已。
南无羌佛的佛陀体质体力举世无双,就在一个多月前的 2021 年 12 月 23 日,南无第三世多杰羌佛在圣迹寺,仅用四根手指就勾起了重达 437.2 磅重的镇殿金刚杵 13 秒多钟,上超 72 段。破山瓦象太尊断言说:这个世界上从古至今,乃至未来在弥勒菩萨成佛前,圣凡两类都没有人能够提得起南无羌佛上超 72 段的佛陀杵!
……
南无第三世多杰羌佛的道德太高、成就太大、圣迹太多,我们无法一一列举出来,以上所说只是佛陀成就中的沧海一粟而已,如果要全部写下来,十天十夜都讲不完。南无第三世多杰羌佛的伟大,不仅仅在于南无羌佛以其尊崇的人文道德、高尚的人品和伦理、渊博的学识、杰出的成就、对人类和众生的无私慈悲、教导和践行佛法的热忱以及通过无私的努力、对慈悲原则的真诚和坚持、对整个世界的和平和发展的努力,感化和激励了人们,世界上很多人都以南无第三世多杰羌佛为楷模,以南无羌佛的道德境界为标准,以南无羌佛的教导为指南,来升华自己的道德品质,利益大众,不但是现实的生活可以得到利乐圆满,还有众多能到往生佛国、生死自由、甚至更高的境地。
同时,更重要的是,南无第三世多杰羌佛为所有人们指出了一条远离暴力、通向慈善爱心、事业成功、家庭幸福、人类和平、社会发展的光明大道,而且全世界各个国家和地区,不分种族、超越文化,越来越多的人都在积极地学习南无第三世多杰羌佛的思想,按照南无羌佛的教导,修行自己,利益大众,极大地促进了整个社会道德的提升、文明的进步,让地球上越来越多的伦理道德善良人士如春木发芽,成为吉祥绿色世界,这才是南无第三世多杰羌佛带给整个地球上的人类和有生命的一切的不可穷尽、增益幸福的巨大贡献。
佛母玉花寿之王教授学养深厚,是正式授称有“国际级第一级艺术家”头衔证书的世界顶级艺术大师,美国国际艺术馆终身名誉馆长,是历史上没有过的全才型画家,无论是西方的油彩画,还是东方的水墨画,佛母都达到了世界级画艺的顶尖高度,创始了“意象自然派”画风。佛母的画作曾在美国国会金厅、中国深圳、上海、泰国曼谷、法国巴黎卢浮宫展览,都引起巨大轰动,欧洲、亚洲的评论家和著名画家们评论寿之王大师的画“每一张都是艺术高峰、逸品传世之作”,其莲花、荷花是“前无古人,后启来者”。2021 年 8 月,名家画对话艺术馆在美国南加州举办了“莫奈睡莲、玉花寿之王睡莲对话展”,观众踊跃,艺术收藏家和评论家,都评价说玉花寿之王教授确实是与达芬奇、高更、梵高、莫奈这些世界级艺术大师平级的国际级第一级顶尖艺术大师。
佛母更是一位悲智圆融的大摩诃萨,德品崇高善良,无私无我,处处考虑他人安危,谦逊而平易近人。佛母的慈悲善良是纯净无瑕的,比如,2015 年,有一个人潜入位于美国旧金山市的美国国际艺术馆,偷盗联合国教科文组织曾评赞过的作品,被警察当场抓捕入狱,由于此作品是佛母的精品创作,法庭多次要求佛母提供这一作品的价值,以便量刑判决,当佛母知道此人困难后,便提出了一份说明,说作品很一般,没有价值可言,法院无法量刑,只得将此人释放了。又比如,佛母救起落入水中的蝴蝶,担心它的安危,还带回到家里养好后才予以放飞。佛母带领大家不停地放生,每周固定去很多公园或林地喂水鸭、鸟等,没有间断过,而且都是用自己的钱,从不接受佛弟子的供养。佛母的勤劳节俭也是出名了的,几十年来,尊贵的佛母一直都是自己洗衣做饭,从不假手他人,没有吃完的饭菜,一定要留到第二天第三天再吃,绝不浪费,平时连没有喝完的水、洗菜洗手的水、过滤器排除的废水,佛母都要把收集起来浇花、冲厕所,伟大的佛母是用行动在教导我们如何一点一滴地从小事做起,珍惜福报,踏实修行,佛母的事迹真是不可穷尽。佛母日常所到之处,龙天护佑,圣迹展现,传法灌顶,实相显境,比如在羚羊谷,佛母的帽子变成了大鹏金翅鸟,在新泽西,佛母的头发竟然飘起来,把对岸曼哈顿的一栋大楼锁住了,在旧金山,佛母站立的地方,突然出现了以佛母为中心的双环佛光……佛母的慈悲和道德感化了每一位行人。
现在,南无羌佛和佛母为了我们众生的生命和幸福而舍报佛土,大圣者们说:我们学习南无羌佛和佛母,不仅要诸恶莫作、众善奉行,恭闻南无羌佛的法音,用南无羌佛的教导检验自己的一言一行,将佛陀的思想变成我们自己的真切行持,这样才能首先成为一个品德高尚、慈悲利他的好人,进而成为了生脱死的圣者。而更重要的是,我们要传承南无第三世多杰羌佛的教法,一代一代地传下去,让娑婆世界的人们都能学习南无羌佛的佛法,服务他人,解脱自己,最终全部成就解脱!
南无本师第三世多杰羌佛!
南无娑婆世界佛教教主释迦牟尼佛!
南无十方一切诸佛!

On January 1, 2022, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III imparted a Dharma for living beings in His Vajra Mandala in Las Vegas on “Greed Can Destroy One’s Realizations,” also titled “Greed is the Foremost Culprit in Destroying One’s Realization.” After Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III imparted Dharma, Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, saw the flowers offered by disciples in the Mandala, then gave a short Discourse: When offering flowers, we must do so with utmost sincerity. There are four main types of flowers for offering to Buddhas: peony, orchid, sunflower, and lotus. Many other flowers, such as Chinese peony 芍药, should not be offered to Buddhas. After Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, gave the Discourse, She blessed each disciple in the Mandala with a Vajra pill, then announced that she will bear dark karma for living beings.
On the evening of January 4, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III summoned four types of disciples and told them: “Now being the Dharma Ending Era, living beings’ dark karmic forces are too heavy and getting worse. Fomu cannot bear them on Her own. This time, I am going to bear the dark karma together with Fomu for living beings. Therefore, starting tomorrow, I will go into seclusion to perform Dharma. During this period, I will no longer see you! As long as each of you cultivate yourself in accordance with the Dharma, you will attain liberation.”
After some days, when the disciple Tsemeng 翟芒 rushed to Las Vegas to see if His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was well, the Buddha said to him: “Tsemeng, in the Dharma Ending Age, the dark karmic forces of living beings are too heavy. When I said I would bear dark karma for living beings, those were not empty words. To bear dark karma is not to enter dhyāna, but rather, truly and continuously practice shifting the mind-consciousness to suffer on behalf of living beings. What Fomu and I said is what we do. At all times,we must think about bringing auspiciousness, serenity, happiness, and peace to living beings and to the world,to the extent of giving our all and even our lives. I have already brought true Buddha Dharma to this world. Everyone who practices in accordance with The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation and Imparting the Absolute Truth Through the Heart Sutra will surely attain liberation. That’s all. I wish all living beings happiness.”
From then on, other than giving instructions to Dharma King Jinba 金巴法王 and Dharma King Mohe 摩訶法王, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III did not impart Dharma openly. After almost a month of bearing dark karma for living beings, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, looked very sick. In the past few decades, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III had often borne dark karma for living beings, sometimes for a month or two, during which He looked seriously ill. Yet once His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III had completed that particular deed of bearing dark karma, Hewould immediately be full of energy as usual.One second, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III was a gravely ill patient, the next second, He would be strong and healthy without any sickness. That’s why the close disciples have gotten used to that. However, this time, Buddhist disciples did not see His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III or Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, return to the human world. Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, have peacefully entered parinirvana and returned to the Sambhogakaya Buddha Land.
His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III, the supreme Primordial Sambhogakaya Buddha and the foremost master in the Dharma realm, came to this world to benefit living beings, and has now left this world as a result of benefitting living beings. All that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III did have always been for the sole purpose of benefitting living beings. His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III is always of holy purity! Always altruistic! Always selfless! All of us Buddhist disciples must be grateful to the supremely great compassion and empathy of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva. We must truly repent our sins and beseech Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu to return to this world!
Among all Buddhas in the Dharma realm, Dorje Chang Buddha is the Primordial Buddha, the first Buddha with form, and the only Supreme Lord of Buddhism throughout the entire universe. Dorje Chang Buddha propagated Dharma throughout the universe, hence, all other Buddhas and Great Mahasattvas learned Dorje Chang Buddha’s Dharma and cultivation to attain holy state and liberation, and eventually became Buddhas and Great Bodhisattvas. Dorje Chang Buddha is the primordial ancestor of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Samantabhadra, the Dharmakaya from which Dorje Chang Buddha perfectly manifested, is the Tathagata that has no form at all. The words and deeds of Dorje Chang Buddha are the compass and guiding principles of cultivation for all ordinary and holy beings in the universe.
To help Shakyamuni Buddha, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha II —Venerable Virmalakirti—applied His supreme wisdom and limitless supernormal power to edify Hinayana Arhats who then advanced themselves and eventually became Mahayana Bodhisattvas who helped living beings attain liberation. And, innumerable living beings attained liberationby learning the teachings of Venerable Virmalakirti.
After coming to the sahā world with the Buddha level enlightenment of the Primordial Sambhogakaya Buddha, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III established countless number one records in the world, every one of which was for the sake of benefiting living beings. At a very young age, He saved others without any regard to His own life and was honored with the title “Young Hero.” As He grew older, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III applied His inherent Healing Vidya to heal the sick, purely on a voluntary basis. More than 500 patients used to seek His help every day. His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III never accepted one penny from them. Plaques and pennants with words of gratitude sent by the recovered piled up in the Buddha’s house.
As His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III continued to benefit living beings on a larger scale, the Central Newsreels and Documentary Studio of China produced a documentary, “One Who Is Dedicated to Advance Himself,” about His life and work. The film was shown nationwide.
In 1987, the highly respected young His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was named Chairman of the Chinese Painting Research Association of the National Commission of China for UNESCO. Honorary chairpersons of the Association included Liao Jingdan 廖井丹, Li Wenqing 李文清, Lü Ji 吕驥, Yuan Xiaoyuan 袁晓园, Wu Zhangshu 吴丈蜀, Qian Juntao 钱君匋, Xie Zhiliu 谢稚柳, and others. Advisors to the Association included Luo Zhanglong 罗章龙, Zhang Kejia 臧克家, and so forth.
In 1992, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was accorded the “Art Maestro of the East” title. In 1994, during the fourth conference of the World Poets and Culture Congress held in Hungary, 5,612 experts and scholars unanimously voted to confer the “Preeminent Distinguished International Master” title, which was a Head of State level honor, to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. The conferment certificate was signed by Juan Antonio Samaranch, the then President of the International Olympic Committee. In the same year, the Museum of Master Yi Yungao officially opened in Dayi 大邑, the hometown of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III in Sichuan. That was the first memorial museum in China, or even in the world, being built by a government for a living person.
In 1995, when His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III went from Mainland China to visit Taiwan for the first time, Taiwanese people spontaneously gave His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III an overwhelmingly ceremonious welcome. More than 20,000 people went to the airport to greet and pay respect to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. A motorcade of more than 1,700 cars followed the lead of police motorcycles to escort His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III from the airport to the hotel. That became the largest welcoming event in human history. Within the short three weeks that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III stayed in Taiwan, General Chiang Wei-kuo 蒋纬国, former Secretary-General of the Taiwan National Security Council, and many other high level government officials formally requested to become disciples of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. They expressed that they wanted to truly emulate the noble morality, humanistic ethics, thoughts, and deeds of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III.
After His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III moved to the United States, His noble morality and unparalleled achievements won the love and admiration of the American people from all walks of life. In 2002, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was presented with the "Presidential Gold Medal" by the Commissioner to the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, on behalf of President Bush.
In 2003, the Organization of American States, composing of 34 countries including the United States, Canada, and Mexico,organized the Master Wan Ko Yee Yun Sculpture Exhibition in Washington D.C. at the Capitol of the United States. The Master Wan Ko Yee Yun Sculpture Exhibition was also held at the Congressional Office Building. That was the first time the U.S. Congress held an art exhibition in their Congressional Office Building. Visitors expressed their praises in the guest book, exclaiming that the exhibition was “unprecedented,” and that the artworks were “treasures brought to the human realm by God.”
In 2004, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was named “Fellow” of the Royal Academy of Arts in the U.K.. Professor Phillip King, President of the Royal Academicians of the Royal Academy of Arts, presented the certificate to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III at the British Embassy in Washington D.C., capital of the United States. The Cultural Attaché of the British Embassy personally attended the ceremony. Professor Phillip King stated that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was the first artist ever accorded this title in their renowned academy’s more than 200-year history.
The mayor of the U.S. capital Washington D.C.pronounced January 19, 2011 as “His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III Day” and called on people to salute to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III.
His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was also accorded the “King Legacy Award for International Service & Leadership” by An International Salute to The Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Dozens of great honors have also been presented to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III by U.S. senators, members of the House of Representatives, governors, and governments of all levels.
More remarkably exceptional, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III was awarded the 2010 World Peace Prize Top Honor Prize, presented to Him at the United States Congress on June 14, 2011 at the U.S. Capitol. On occasions of the holy birthday of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III, the U.S. Congress has held ceremonies to raise the national flag to celebrate, and President Trump and President Biden have sent personal congratulations.
In 2018, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leader Title Awarding Council resolved that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was the Pope of Buddhism of this world and decided to present the Pope of Buddhism Scepter to Him. Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, however, did not accept the Scepter, but returned it instead. In September 2020, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leader Title Awarding Council made a joint resolution that solemnly stated, “The title, status, and authority of the Pope of Buddhism belong only to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III and cannot be exercised by anyone else. This is a permanent and unalterable determination!” The two Councils also entrusted the World Buddhism Association Headquarters to present the Pope of Buddhism Scepter on their behalf to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III.
Upon coming to this world, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III immediately started teaching and saving living beings. He has always called Himself a “nameless cultivator.” His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III voluntarily served living beings and did not accept any offerings. One incident clearly shows how Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III taught and saved living beings selflessly. At the Heart Sutra Mandala on Xinhua West Road, Chengdu, Dharma Master Guozhang 果章法师 once recounted to some people that when he received initiation from His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III on Paoma Mountain 跑马山, His Holiness the Buddha was only two and a half years old! After the identity of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III being the true incarnation of the Primordial Buddha was formally recognized by Dharma kings, regent Dharma kings, and great rinpoches of major Buddhist sects in written congratulations and corroboration letters, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III continued, as always, to teach and save living beings solely on a voluntary basis, and whole-heartedly devoted Himself to serving living beings. Whenever people made offerings to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III, whether they were big or small offerings, in amounts as little as one dollar or as large as a few million US dollars, in the form of 37 acres of land in the city of San Francisco, or even a planeload or a shipload of gold, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III categorically refused to accept. His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was whole-heartedly dedicated to serving living beings voluntarily.
In the many years that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was propagating Dharma to save living beings, He imparted more than 2,000 Dharma Discourses in response to living beings’ levels and karmic conditions. Those Dharma Discourses were audio-recorded, and some of which such as What Is Cultivation 什么叫修行, Sutra on Understanding and Realizing Definitive Truth 了义经, Imparting the Absolute Truth Through the Heart Sutra 藉心经说真谛, and Learning from Buddha 学佛, have been published into books. Not only did His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III reveal the truth about humanity and the universe, He also elucidated the truths relevant to various stages of practices, from elementaryto profound accomplishment levels.
In restoring Buddhist texts to their original meaning, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III pointed out that the morning and evening chants used in Buddhist temples nowadays had been tampered with by the descendants of Mara, and those texts are filled with evil views and fallacies. Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III has corrected many errors made by patriarchs and translators in their interpretations of Dharma principles, and directly revealed the chaotic phenomena in Buddhism during this Dharma Ending Era. His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III pointed out the path that everyone who wants to attain liberation must take: That is to build our foundation on practicing cultivation. After cultivating ourselves well, we can then learn Dharma, and naturally attain liberation and accomplishment. The correct truths and Dharmas imparted by His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III enable listeners to develop their wisdom and good fortune, to help each other, care about each other, and be compassionate to all living beings.

Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang, was profoundly erudite. She was a top world-class art master who had been officially conferred with the “International First Class Artist” title and certificate. Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang was the Lifetime Honorary Chairwoman of the International Art Museum of America, and an all-rounded painter whose versatility has never been seen before in history. Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, stands at the summit of world-class artistry in both Western oil painting and Eastern ink painting and founded the Imagery-Naturalism painting style. The paintings of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, have been exhibited in the Gold Room at the United States Congress, in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Bangkok, as well as at the Palais du Louvre in Paris. Every one of Her exhibitions was overwhelmingly well received, sending shockwaves throughout the art world. Art critics and renowned painters from Europe and Asia acclaimed that every one of her paintings is the apex of art, at the Class of Ease, and an inspiration to future generations. The accomplishments in her water lily and lotus paintings “have never been attained by anyone before and will inspire generations to come.” In August 2021, the Art Who’s Who Museum of Paintings in Dialogue organized theshow “Claude Monet and Yuhua Shouzhi Wang: An Exhibition of Water Lily Paintings in Dialogue” in Southern California. Visitors were overwhelmingly enthusiastic; art collectors and critics acclaimed that Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang was indeed an International First Class Artist whose artistry is at the same level as great masters such as Da Vinci, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and Monet.
Fomu is a Great Mahasattva who is the perfect embodiment of great wisdom and compassion, noble morality, kindness, altruism, and selflessness. She always considers other people’s well-being and is humble and very approachable. The compassion and kindness of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, are pure and flawless. For example, in 2015, someone sneaked into the International Art Museum of America in San Francisco and tried to steal an artwork that had been acclaimed by the World Federation of UNESCO (WFUCA). This person was arrested by the police on site and subsequently detained. Since the artwork that he tried to steal was one of Fomu’s masterpieces, the court repeatedly requested Fomu to provide a valuation of the artwork, so that they could use her valuation to determinethe term for sentencing. When Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, knew about this person’s distress, She provided a statement saying that the artwork was rather ordinary and had no value. The court had no way of sentencing the person to any term and had to release him.
Another time, Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, saved a butterfly that had fallen into the water. Worried about the butterfly’s safety, Fomu brought it home and kept it for a few days to make sure the butterfly is well-recovered before letting it fly away. Fomu relentlessly led disciples to conduct life-releases. She went every week to woodlands to feed ducks and birds and never missed a week. She paid for it with Her own money and never accepted offerings from Buddhist disciples. Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, is well known for Her diligence and thriftiness. For many decades, the noble Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, always cooked Her own meals and washed Her own clothes. She never entrusted others to do Her chores. She would save the food that She could not finish eating and finish it the next day or two. She was never wasteful. Usually, Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, would even save the water that She did not finish drinking, the water used for washing vegetables or hands, or wastewater from the filter and use it for irrigating flowers or flushing toilet. Through Her deeds, the Great Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, was teaching us how to start with the small things, cherish our good fortune, and actualize our cultivation practices.It is impossible to recount all the numerous exemplary deeds of Fomu.
Wherever Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, went, dragon Dharma protectors were present, and holy miracles manifested. When Fomu performed initiation and transmitted Dharma, holy states were manifested. For example, at the Antelope Valley, Fomu’s hat turned into a black garuda. In New Jersey, the hair of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, suddenly went up and wrapped around a tall building in Manhattan on the opposite shore. In San Francisco, a twin Buddha light suddenly appeared, centered around where Fomu stood. All cultivators are touched by the compassion and morality of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasatva.
