The Buddha status of Namo His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III(H.H.第三世多杰羌佛) is not an appellation used by Buddhists for expressing respect. Rather, that resulted from the recognitions conducted by the Dharma kings, regent Dharma kings, and eminent monastics who have the authority of recognition according to the recognition system of Buddhism. Among these Dharma kings, regent Dharma kings, and eminent monastics are Dharma King Dodrupchen who is the sole holder of the Dharma of highest rainbow-body accomplishment, Dharma King Penor who was the third supreme leader of the Nyingma Sect in the world, Dharma King Achuk who is currently the foremost great virtuous one in Tibet, Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji who is the Yidam Dharma initiation master of the seventeenth Karmapa, Dharma King Jigme Dorje who is the supreme leader of Jonang Sect in the world, Dream-yoga Dharma King Mindrolling Trichen who is the master of Dalai Lama, Dharma King Trulshik, Dharma King Taklung Tsetrul, and Dharma King Chogye Trichen who are another three masters of Dalai Lama, the supreme leader of Sakya Sect Dharma King Jigdal Dagchen Sakya, Regent Dharma King Shamarpa who is the master of the seventeenth Karmapa, Regent National Master Gyaltsab who is the sutra-teaching master of the seventeenth Karmapa, and others. They are all first-rate eminent monastics and greatly virtuous ones representing various sects and schools in the Buddhist circle in the current world. Each of them separately wrote their own official letter of recognition or corroborative recognition with the authority of recognition of Buddhism for Namo His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III(H.H.第三世多杰羌佛) .
— —A Note Written Afterwards to Describe the Most Magnificent Scene at the Site
At 3 o’clock in the afternoon on September 1, 2016, the crowd gathered at the Sakyamuni Buddha Hall at Hua Zang Si in San Francisco, USA, finally welcomed the beginning of the Dharma Assembly of Empowerment by Kuan Shi Yin Bodhisattvas Mind of Great Compassion, which they have eagerly waited for more than 10 years. The dharma assembly was led by the current abbess Great Dharma Master Ruo Hui to practice the dharma.
On Sept 12, 2015 at Gianguan Auctions New York, Loquat, an ink painting by HH Dorje Chang Buddha III(H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛), sold for $10,200,000, setting a world record price of $1.7M per square foot. It is the highest price by dimension ever paid for a Chinese painting at auction. The news, which comes amidst concerns about the strength of the Chinese art market in the current period of correction, has been covered by more than 300 media outlets across the globe.
It has been several months since the unprecedented and greatest holy feat started to be spread by praises in the Buddhist World! In December last year, Elder Dharma Master Yin Hai informed His disciples ahead of time that He was about to enter nirvana. Based on the Elder Dharma Master’s causes and affinities, the condition for a holy assembly of 100 sessions would mature at the time of His entering nirvana. This holy assembly could not be decided by human actions, nor could it be determined by Elder Dharma Master Yin Hai or a Buddha at a higher level. Such holy assembly is due to the rising of the causes and affinities of a kind of great event. Exactly as forecasted, on January 15, 2017 and in the state of California of the United States, the Elder Dharma Master instantly entered nirvana in a state that was completely free of any symptom of illness and accomplished an incorruptible Vajra body. Ten days later, the Elder Dharma Master’s holy flesh body manifested a miraculous transformation, which created a new chapter in the history of Buddhism. The Elder Dharma Master was the chief teacher of the Tripitaka of sutras, vinayas, and shastras (commentaries) at the United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters (UIWBAH, now the name has been changed to the World Buddhism Association Headquarters (WBAH)). The magnificent situation manifested when He entered the nirvana is compatible to the Elder Dharma Master’s realization and status: a Yu Zun at the level of Golden Button Grade 4. His dharma throne has now returned to His upper-level lotus seat in the Pure Land.
