The Explanation of the Buddha’s Title – “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III”
On April 3, 2008, a solemn and dignified first-publishing ceremony of a fact-recording book entitled H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III,
which published jointly by the World Buddhism Publishing LLC and the
World Dharma Voice, Inc., was held at the Library of the Congress of the
United States. The book was also formally accepted into the collection
of the Library of the Congress of the United States. Only since that
time, did people in the world know that Master Wan Ko Yee, who had been broadly respected by the great masses and who had also been known as Great Dharma King Yangwo Yeshe Norbu,
had been recognized by the world’s leaders, regent dharma kings, and
great rinpoches of Buddhism through official documents as the third
incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, who is the primordial Sambhogakaya Buddha of the universe. The Buddha’s name is H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Since then, people began to address His Holiness the Buddha by “Namo[1] Dorje Chang Buddha III.”
This is similar to the situation that Sakyamuni Buddha’s name was
Prince Siddhartha Gotama before attaining Buddhahood. However, after
Sakyamuni Buddha had attained Buddhahood, His title changed to “Namo
Sakyamuni Buddha.” That is why we now address His Holiness the Buddha as
“H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.”
In particular, on December 12,
2012, the Senate Resolution No. 614 of the United States Congress
officially used “His Holiness” in the name addressing Dorje Chang Buddha III (That is to say, “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.”) Since then, the title and status of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has
been definitive by nature. And, as a matter of fact, “Dorje Chang
Buddha III” is a name used legally in governmental and official
legislative documents. Therefore, the previously used respected name and
titles such as “Wan Ko Yee,” Great Master, and Great Dharma King no
longer exist.
However, the news below was published before the Buddha’s title of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was
publicly announced. At that time, people did not know about the true
status of His Holiness the Buddha. Therefore, to respect the true
history, we still kept the names used before the title of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was
legitimately determined in republishing this news. However, all must
clearly know that the only legitimate name of His Holiness the Buddha is
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and all other names used before the legitimate determination no longer exist.
