How I Helped My Son Emerge from the Darkness of Depression

That day, the sky was gray and gloomy, and my heart felt so heavy that I could barely breathe. I stumbled up to the rooftop of the eleven-story building. Helplessness, hurt, shock, despair… all kinds of emotions came flooding over me. Unable to hold back any longer, I crouched down and burst into tears.

At the time, my son had just entered the second year of junior high school. He was rebellious and had lost interest in school, and we often argued fiercely. One day, I hid in the bathroom crying, desperately hoping that he would come and comfort me. Instead, he suddenly pushed open the door and shouted at me, “Mom, how can you still cry? I’m ten thousand times more miserable than you, and even I’m not crying!”

I froze. My tears stopped instantly, and my heart ached so badly that I could hardly breathe. After my divorce, I had raised my son alone, taking on the roles of both mother and father. I never imagined that he could say something that would hurt me so deeply.

It was after that argument that my son began frequently refusing to go to school. Whenever teachers or classmates were mentioned, he became extremely irritated and resistant. Desperate to help him, I tried everything I could think of. I took him to the hospital, but he refused to take the medication prescribed by the doctor. I found a counselor for him, but after one visit, he firmly refused to go back. I transferred him to the school where I worked, but that only made him even more unwilling to enter the classroom. I asked relatives and elders he respected to talk to him, but nothing helped. I even sought fortune-tellers and spiritual mediums, but all of it was in vain.

He spent his days shut inside his room, with the curtains tightly drawn. Even in broad daylight, he would not turn on the lights because he was afraid that others might see that he was not attending school.

I had tried every worldly method I could think of, yet nothing worked. I felt completely helpless and hopeless. Was there really no way to save my child?

Just when I felt I could no longer endure it and was on the verge of breaking down, a fellow Buddhist practitioner came into my life. She told me to sincerely pray for the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, genuinely repent, and dedicate the merit from my virtuous deeds to my son.

It felt as though I had finally found something to hold on to. I began reciting sutras every day and sincerely dedicating the merit to him. At first, there was some improvement. My son became willing to attend school again, and I was overjoyed. Unfortunately, his karmic obstacles were too heavy, and the situation repeatedly went back and forth—one good day followed by ten difficult ones.

At that time, I also experienced doubts and uncertainty: Could learning Buddhism really save my child?

Although I was listening to Dharma teachings and reciting sutras, I did not truly understand the principles of the Dharma. My mind remained filled with attachments. I could not let go of my pride as a teacher because I feared my colleagues would laugh at me. I could not stop worrying about my son’s future because I feared his entire life would be ruined. And I could not let go of what other people might think or say about us.

During that period, whenever I heard about students suffering from depression who had taken their own lives after being unknowingly provoked by their parents, I became extremely anxious. I constantly feared that something similar might happen to my son. Every day, I lived in anxiety, inner conflict, and fear.

My relationship with my son eventually became extremely strained. Even though we lived under the same roof, the atmosphere was so oppressive that simply being together without speaking felt suffocating. Every day, I obsessively watched to see whether he would go to school. Our home was filled with negativity.

The more anxious I became, the more depressed he became. The more agitated I was, the more he suffered. The distance between mother and son grew wider and wider.

Again and again, the fellow practitioner advised me, “Listen carefully to the Dharma teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and cultivate yourself well. Change your own mind first and let go of your attachments. Then your child will naturally begin to change.”

But at the time, I was ignorant. I kept thinking, My child isn’t even going to school. How could I possibly have the state of mind to study Buddhism? I remained trapped in worry and anxiety.

Later, a friend suggested that I take my son to stay at a Buddhist temple for a while. But he absolutely refused to leave the house, so I went to the temple by myself.

As soon as I arrived and heard the peaceful sound of sutras being recited, my heart, which had been tense for so long, suddenly began to relax. There, a group of people who had never even met me sincerely prayed for my son and dedicated merit to him. I was deeply moved by their kindness and warmth.

Suddenly, I understood: Buddha Dharma is not superstition. It is compassion. It is warmth. It offers deliverance when one feels there is nowhere else to turn.

I was deeply touched. At that moment, I made up my mind to stop allowing my thoughts to run wild and instead sincerely learn Buddhism and cultivate myself.

I began listening to Dharma teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III every week and stopped obsessively watching my son. In the past, whenever he refused to go to school, I felt as though the sky were falling. Later, I entrusted everything to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Whether my son went to school or not was no longer something I clung to. I concentrated instead on learning Buddhism, cultivating myself, and changing my own mind first.

Every day, I listened attentively to Dharma teachings, sincerely repented, worked to correct my faults and cultivate goodness, and dedicated to my son the merit from listening to the Dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, reciting sutras, releasing living beings, and performing other virtuous deeds.

I stopped constantly watching and pressuring him. Instead, I treated him with greater tolerance and compassion. As my own state of mind changed, my son began to change as well.

Our relationship gradually softened and became warm again. The atmosphere at home also slowly improved. Eventually, my son returned to school, although he would occasionally still become reluctant to attend. Whenever this happened, I patiently guided and encouraged him while praying for the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

I remember that one month before his junior high school graduation examination, his karmic obstacles manifested again, and he stayed home, unwilling to attend school.

At that time, the temple happened to be holding a Dharma assembly. I patiently persuaded my son to come with me to pay respect to the Buddhas, repent, and pray for blessings.

That Dharma assembly was particularly auspicious and extraordinary. The blessings of the Buddha Dharma were inconceivable. After we returned home from the temple, my son seemed like a different person. He happily went to school every day, was successfully admitted to high school, and was even recognized as an outstanding student during the military training program for incoming freshmen.

I knelt before the Buddha, tears streaming down my face, filled with heartfelt gratitude for the compassionate blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Throughout his three years of high school, I continued reciting sutras, cultivating myself, releasing living beings, and dedicating merit without interruption. Buddha Dharma accompanied and protected our family throughout that journey.

Gradually, my son began exercising regularly. He emerged from the shadow of depression, became increasingly cheerful and optimistic, and grew physically healthier. He successfully completed high school, took the national college entrance examination, and was admitted to a junior college.

From being a depressed eighth-grader who refused to attend school and shut himself away from the world, to becoming a mature and motivated young man who eventually entered college—the tears shed along the way, the countless agonizing nights, and the many times I felt I was falling apart are things only I truly know.

In the past, I was controlling, anxious, and convinced that everything I did was for my son’s good. Yet unknowingly, I had turned my love into shackles.

After learning Buddhism and cultivating myself, I learned to let go, to have faith, and to guide rather than control.

I came to understand that the best education is not about controlling our children. It is about improving ourselves and illuminating their path through our own virtue. The deepest form of a mother’s love is not holding on tightly, but knowing when to let go and patiently guide her child along the way.

Through my own experience, I want to say something to every mother who feels as helpless as I once did:

Hospitals could not heal my son’s suffering of the mind. Psychological counseling could not resolve his karmic obstacles. Neither money nor personal connections could help us. It was Buddha Dharma that saved my child and also brought deliverance to me—a mother who had been deeply wounded and overwhelmed by suffering.

As long as you are willing to have faith, the light of Buddha Dharma is always there. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will never abandon a mother who feels she has reached the end of the road.

Holy Miracles Temple Commemorates Amitabha Buddha’s Birthday with a Grand Dharma Assembly in Pasadena

California Observer Contributor

December 29, 2025

To honor the Holy Birthday of Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, four Buddhist organizations — the World Buddhism Association Headquarters (WBAH), Holy Miracles Temple, Hongfa Temple, and Sanger Mission —  jointly hosted a Dharma Assembly at the Grand Hall of Holy Miracles Temple in Pasadena. The ceremony was presided over by Dharma Master Jiaozun Zhengda, Vice President of WBAH. Hundreds of Buddhists from across multiple nations attended the Dharma Assembly.
The assembly began at 10 a.m. on December 21. The Grand Hall resonated with solemn sutra chanting, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and reverence. Under the guidance of the Dharma Master Jiaozun Zhengda, together with Dharma Master Ruzun Ruohui — the abbess of Hua Zang Si Temple and Hongfa Temple — and other monastics, attendees paid homage to the Buddhas and recited The Buddha Speaks of Amitabha Sutra. This was followed by the Meal Offering Ceremony. Incense, flowers, lamps, fresh fruits, and various offerings were presented in sequence.

Attendees prayed for the blessings and protection of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, Amitabha Buddha, and all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the ten directions—may all calamities be pacified, may life unfold in harmony and joy, and may the merit and wisdom of all living beings ever increase, hastening their journey toward enlightenment.

According to Buddhist scriptures, Amitabha Buddha is one of the Five Buddhas in Five Directions and is a disciple of the Primordial Buddha, Dorje Chang Buddha. In His past lives before becoming a Buddha, Amitabha Buddha made forty-eight profound vows out of boundless compassion, aspiring to rescue all beings from suffering and guide them toward rebirth in the Pure Land.

Dharma Master Jiaozun Zhengda called upon Buddhist disciples to emulate the vast vows of compassion made by Amitabha Buddha and the Buddhas of the ten directions to liberate all sentient beings. The merit accrued through this assembly was dedicated to the flourishing of the true Buddha Dharma, the well-being of all people, the prosperity of the world, and enduring peace among nations.

Buddhist nun Zhengqin Shi of Hongfa Temple shared reflections on her spiritual journey. After enduring many hardships, it was through studying the true Buddha Dharma that she discovered inner peace and joy. She emphasized that learning Buddhism is neither feudal superstition nor a search for the strange or heretically induced phenomena. The scripture Learning from Buddha has been her most cherished guide on cultivation and the practices of Buddha Dharma.
Participant Vicky Wu from Los Angeles expressed deep gratitude for the compassionate blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and for the rare opportunity in this lifetime to encounter the teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. After more than a decade of practice, her faith in the law of cause and effect has grown steadily, giving her the composure to meet life’s challenges with ease.

As the Dharma Assembly concluded successfully, the Dharma Masters sprinkled blessed Dharma water upon attendees, offering prayers for the alleviation of misfortune, longevity, and continued growth in good fortune and wisdom. The temple grounds were filled with a sense of collective tranquility and spiritual renewal. Many expressed gratitude for the guidance provided by the esteemed monastics and the opportunity to share in the collective energy of the assembly.

The organizers observed that the Dharma Assembly was not only a moment of shared reverence but also an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of the Buddha’s teachings and commitment to compassionate action. They expressed the hope that the inspiration from this gathering will continue to illuminate each person’s path—encouraging the cultivation of virtue, nurturing harmony within families and communities, and bringing forth a peaceful and benevolent world.

Buddhist Communities Nationwide Commemorate H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

The Glendale Civic Auditorium became the center of an international Buddhist gathering as more than a thousand Dharma masters, rinpoches, and lay practitioners convened for a two-day Dharma Assembly honoring the Holy Birthday of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. The event was jointly organized by the World Buddhism Association Headquarters, Holy Miracles Temple, Hua Zang Si, Benevolence Temple, and the Sanger Mission.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was recognized with the 2010 World Peace Prize Top-Honor Prize for humanitarian and peace-promoting contributions. Between 2023 and 2025, eleven volumes of the Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection were published, with four additional volumes released in 2026. The Sutra Collection encompasses the essence of the Tripitaka and esoteric Dharma, guiding practitioners toward liberation from the cycle of rebirth.

A Two-Day Assembly in Glendale

Lotus Button Holy Guru Mozhi of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters delivered an opening speech at the Dharma Assembly and emphasized that only right faith and correct views can keep practitioners from going astray in this Dharma-ending age. He urged Buddhists to rely on the Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection and to practice in accordance with the Dharma. He reminded attendees that while Buddhas and Bodhisattvas point living beings toward the path of liberation, genuine liberation ultimately depends upon one’s own practice and cultivation.

The Assembly has become an annual destination for Buddhist leaders, abbots, educators, and Buddhist practitioners from around the world to pay tribute to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It facilitates dialogue, learning, and collaboration across a range of Buddhist traditions, drawing participants who travel considerable distances to attend.

Commemorations Across the Country

Commemorative events honoring the Holy Birthday of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III were held across the United States. Hua Zang Si’s Southern California branch hosted an Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva Great Compassionate Empowerment Dharma Assembly along with study sessions focused on The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation. Macang Monastery in San Francisco marked its eighteenth anniversary and hosted a Dharma Assembly honoring the Holy Birthday. The Los Angeles Hua Zang Buddhist Institute conducted an incense offering ceremony and lotus lamp blessing service, while Benevolence Temple in Las Vegas organized a series of Dharma listening sessions.

The H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum in Covina offered special Dharma listening programs and held a large-scale life-release ceremony at Marina del Rey. On the East Coast, practitioners in New York commemorated the occasion by displaying a tribute across three prominent Times Square billboards for seven days.
A Shared Aspiration for Peace

This nationwide commemoration served as both a celebration of the Holy Birthday of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and a reflection of the enduring influence of His teachings. From the Dharma Assemblies in Glendale to life-release ceremonies, Dharma listening sessions, and community acts of compassion across cities, the events reflected a shared aspiration for peace and the welfare of all beings.

Buddhist practitioners describe His legacy as one that continues to guide them toward liberation and to encourage communities across America to embody compassion, wisdom, and unity. For those who gathered on the occasion, the commemorations offered a moment of reflection and a renewed sense of shared purpose.

An Awakening While Stopped at a Red Light

Sometimes, what suddenly wakes us up and brings clarity to our minds is not the sound of a temple bell. It can be something as ordinary as watching the countdown on a traffic light at an intersection.

That day, I was riding my scooter and stopped at a red light. I found myself staring at the numbers as they counted down, one second at a time…

Normally, those numbers simply tell us how many seconds we have to wait before moving on. But for some reason, at that moment, something gently struck me deep inside.

I suddenly realized: It wasn’t just the traffic light that was counting down. Our lives are counting down too.

Every time another second disappears from the display, one second of our own lives is gone as well.

We often talk about the Buddhist teaching of “impermanence.” We have heard countless times how swiftly life passes and how quickly circumstances can change. In His Dharma discourses, Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has also compassionately reminded us time and again of how frightening impermanence can be and how it is constantly unfolding right before our eyes.

Yet this is simply how we human beings are. We may understand these teachings intellectually, but somehow they never seem to truly frighten us deep down.

We continue drifting through our days in a haze. We still lose our temper. We still tightly hold on to attachments, grudges, and conflicts that we cannot seem to let go of. We always think there is still plenty of time. We simply assume that when the sun rises tomorrow, we will still be here.

It often takes an ordinary, seemingly insignificant moment to suddenly wake us up:

From the day we were born, our lives have already been counting down.

Older generations often say that the frightening thing is not that we are slowly growing old, but that we do not even realize we are growing older day by day.

When today passes, one more day of our life is gone. When this second slips away, we will never be able to get it back again.

The Verse of Admonition by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva says:

“This day has already passed, and our lives have likewise diminished. Like fish in a shrinking pool of water, what joy can there be? We should diligently and vigorously cultivate ourselves, as urgently as if extinguishing a fire upon our heads. Be ever mindful of impermanence, and never give way to negligence.”

Every time I read this verse, it strikes me deeply.

Aren’t we just like fish in a pond whose water is slowly drying up? The water decreases day by day, yet we are still fighting fiercely with one another over a few pieces of fish food, completely forgetting that before long, when the water dries up, none of us can escape what follows.

When we look back carefully at all the noise and turmoil of this world—the pursuit of fame and personal gain, who wins and who loses—the things that once seemed unbearable, the things we thought we could never let go of, what do they amount to when we look back several years later?

They were little more than a dream from which we eventually awakened.

What truly matters in life has never been whether everything goes our way at this particular moment. What really matters is whether, during this lifetime, we have sincerely followed the Buddha’s teachings, whether we have earnestly cultivated ourselves, and whether we have worked toward freeing ourselves from the suffering of reincarnation.

If we can show others a little more compassion, then let us do so.

If we can lessen our attachments even a little, then let us loosen our grip.

If there is a good deed we can do today or a kind thought we can give rise to today, we should not put it off until tomorrow.

Because none of us knows what awaits us after the light turns green and we pass through this intersection.

At the next crossroads, will we simply continue along the familiar road we have traveled so many times before—or will we have reached the end of our journey in this life?

While we still have the strength, and while we still possess this precious human body, let us remind ourselves of this at every moment.

Do not wait until the light has gone out to regret having let this precious life pass by in vain.

—Buddhist disciple Gao Qiyuan

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Accomplishment in the Vajra Needle That Eliminates Illness

Introduction

In applying this vajra needle that eliminates illness, Kuan Yin Bodhisattva is used as the yidam (object of veneration), and the Horse Head Vajra Deity (a transformation body of Kuan Yin Bodhisattva) manifests awesome power. That is why the Han-Chinese people call it “Galloping Horse Wonderful Needle.” It is a healing technique specially used to cure people’s illnesses. Currently, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata is the only one who possesses this dharma.

The powerful effects of this needle are miraculous. Various effects are produced according to the particular mudra and mantra H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III applies. This needle is able to open all of the body’s joints and acupuncture points. People who receive this treatment experience power moving through their body. No matter how strong a patient’s power of resistance may be, as soon as H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III increases the power of the mudra, the patient will immediately feel as if his internal organs were on fire and will fall to the ground screaming in pain. It is clear that people do not have the power to offer resistance to the effects of this needle.

This needle can easily cure yin deficiency and yang excess relating to the liver, gall, kidneys, spleen, and lungs; qi (vital energy)-blood disharmony; harm done to the internal organs; and other strange illnesses resulting from the six meridians or imbalance among the four great elements. After Zigong Zhuang personally experienced the Galloping Horse Wonderful Needle treatment, he wrote the following words in the book Master Yi Yungao (Master Yi Yungao is H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III):

“Galloping Horse Wonderful Needle is a unique healing technique of Buddhism requiring special powers, and it is used to cure people of their illnesses. It is said that common people cannot master this technique. In order to apply this technique, one must have reached a very high state of training in the Vajra Fist Dharma of esoteric Buddhism. One must also have entered the phase that transcends the generation and completion phases. Through special skills, one produces a power that adjusts the “external four great elements.” (earth, water, fire, and wind) One then uses one’s concentration powers to bring about needle treatment reactions that course through the body like a galloping horse. Additionally, one must use thought to guide the “internal four great elements” of the patient’s body so that his body undergoes acute changes in an instant. Using the energy channels and acupuncture points, the obstructions of illness are expelled one after another. Why does that treatment produce such amazing effects? It has to do with the ultimate truths of the universe.”

Zigong Zhuang went on to describe his experience when H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata treated him with the Galloping Horse Wonderful Needle: “I saw the Master (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) take out a thin, long silver needle. He sat facing me about two meters away. He then tossed the needle, which entered the acupuncture point on my left leg called yang ling quan. At that time, there was no unusual feeling in my body. I just felt the needle shaking continuously. As the Master’s mudras changed, so did my reactions. He shouted “swell!” and my entire body generated a swelling feeling. He shouted “tingle!” and my entire body instantly produced tingling sensations. He shouted “cold!” and the inside of my body at once felt as if I had entered an ice cellar.

“The Master then uttered something unintelligible, and I heard a loud boom in my head. It seemed as if my body had quickly swelled. The inside of my body felt like a sudden violent storm accompanied by thunder, lightening, and surging rivers and seas. It was an astonishing and shocking experience. Then, it seemed as if wind and fire were fast approaching before my eyes. The wind was helping the strength of the fire, and the fire was adding to the power of the wind. In an instant, I was being tormented by internal and external forces. I perspired profusely and was almost destroyed. Right when I was flustered and confused, I heard “leave!” Everything then vanished and became peaceful. I forgot about both my body and mind. There was just an expanse of tranquility and emptiness.

“After a short while, strangely enough, it seemed as if that needle was “galloping” on its own. It would shake and sensations would course up my leg and enter acupuncture points in the proper sequence of those points. At that time, my entire body felt open and unblocked. My qi-blood circulation was as free flowing as a spring stream or floating clouds. I can’t say whether it was normal consciousness or hallucination, but I felt that my whole body and mind were immersed in happiness and pleasure.

“I finally experienced the miraculous effects of the Galloping Horse Wonderful Needle. Although I am well known for always sleeping very soundly, that night I could not fall asleep. While in a state of drowsiness the next morning, I suddenly became clear-headed. I wiped my eyes and realized my illness had disappeared. The blue sky and green earth spread before my window. Full of energy, I threw myself into the new day.”

A disciple by the name of Kion Yat beseeched H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to treat him with needles. When H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III lightly applied one needle, disciple Yat did not at first feel anything. But when His Holiness began to recite a mantra and apply a mudra, disciple Yat became cold. Even ice formed on his eyebrows. His illness was immediately cured. This vajra needle is truly the king of all needles that only a Buddha possesses. Great Bodhisattva Tangtong Gyalpo Rinpoche XVI said that he personally saw the limitless power of the Galloping Horse Wonderful Needle and the incredibly high realization of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Accomplishments in Technological Art

Introduction

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yehse Norbu uses science and technology to design a new form of three-dimensional art. These three-dimensional images are made from machines and instruments, scientific data, light sources, temperature modulations, speed, and three-dimensional technology. When viewing the three-dimensional artistic images of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, one can look very deeply into the flat surface and see things that appear very far away. There are also times when the images appear to be protruding out of the confines of the frame, like real three-dimensional hand-molded sculptures.

A second example of technological art is glass paintings by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. These transparent images look like something found in a heavenly palace. They are even more spellbinding under the skillful use of lighting.

A third example of technological art is photographs by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, which include scenery, people, animals, etc. These beautiful, artistic pictures taken with a camera make use of lighting, natural colors, and the skillful arrangement of objects.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata combined His works in the above-described three different fields into the single category of technological art. Because of limited space, we have selected only a few representative three-dimensional images and glass paintings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Upon our request, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III traveled for about a half day taking in an impromptu manner the photographs contained in this category.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Accomplishment in Ancient-Looking Withered Vines

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata created high-quality withered vines through a form of carving called “Yun Sculpture.” All of those Yun Sculpture vines must have certain distinguishing attributes in four categories: visual quality, style, shape, and texture. Of these four categories, texture is the most important and indispensable.

The four distinguishing attributes in the area of visual quality are old, withered, dry, and beautiful. As for old, the vines must appear to be old vines from the ancient past. As for withered, the vines must look dehydrated, withered, and wrinkly. As for dry, the winding vines must seem desiccated. As for beautiful, they must have a graceful look to them.

The four distinguishing attributes in the area of style are scholarly, otherworldly, highly elegant, and comforting. As for scholarly, the style of sculpting must be imbued with a feeling of literary or poetic genius. As for otherworldly, the vines must appear to transcend the handwork of human artisans such that they look not of this world. As for highly elegant, the vines must look highly refined, aesthetically pleasing, and far above the ordinary. As for comforting, the vines must convey a feeling of auspiciousness, grace the place in which they are present, and give those who view them a feeling of harmony and well-being.

The four distinguishing attributes in the area of shape are as follows: natural-looking, genuine-looking, weathered over time, and intertwining. Regarding the first attribute, the vines must match the winding look of real vines. Regarding the second attribute, the vines must look exactly like real ancient vines. The viewer should have the impression that the carved vines are no different from real vines that grew in nature. Indeed, the viewer should conclude that the sculpted vines look even more ancient than their natural counterparts. Regarding the third attribute, the vines must convey a natural sense that they have been exposed to wind, frost, rain, dew, and sunshine over a very long time and have aged over that long time period. Regarding the fourth attribute, thick and thin vines must intertwine to look like one natural, connected body that has grown together month after month.

The four distinguishing and extremely subtle attributes in the area of texture are as follows: the vines must have the texture and appearance of having withered in different time periods; the skin of the vines must have the texture of real vines with tiny pores; the lines and wrinkles on the vines must follow the natural course of the vines; and the shades of colors of the vines must be just like those of real ancient vines. The meticulousness shown in the area of texture is the best way to tell whether or not a work of art is a genuine carving of withered vines created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III through His Holiness’s Yun Sculpture form of art. These four attributes, which cannot be matched by any other artist, are essential in determining whether or not the withered vines are masterpieces sculpted by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III himself. These four attributes are most important and indispensable in distinguishing the works of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III from other works.

The first attribute is that the vines must have the texture and appearance of having withered in different time periods. Since interwoven withered vines come into being and grow in different time periods, they dry, age, and shrivel to different degrees. Their texture and color also vary. Thus, His Holiness’s Yun Sculpture vines give the impression of being historical relics of different time periods.

The second attribute is that the skin of the vines must have the texture of real vines with tiny pores. This means that when one touches the texture of the carved vines, their stems and skin will feel exactly like those of real vines. One can see that the carved vines have minute pores, such as old pores of various colors, pores that follow the course of the stem, inverted pores, miscellaneous pores, and concave and convex pores. Furthermore, one can see that there are spots of color, shades of color, flows of color, differences in color, and harmony of color relating to the pores. Even under the scrutiny of a magnifying glass, the sculpted pores appear tiny and no different from those of real vines. Indeed, the vines are much more beautiful than real vines.

The third attribute is that the lines and wrinkles on the vines must follow the natural growth of the vines. Having existed through a very long period of time, ancient vines will manifest wrinkles. The key factors in carving the highest quality wrinkles relate to the course or direction in which the wrinkles run, their size, their degree of thickness, their depth, their length, and their degree of visibility. They must not have the slightest appearance of disorder or randomness. Rather, the lines and wrinkles must totally follow the natural growth patterns of the vines. They must follow the track of the winding vines. As the vines change directions, the lines must follow the twists and turns. They must look natural and no different from real lines on ancient vines.

The fourth attribute is that the shades of colors of the vines must be just like those of real ancient vines. The color or hue of the carved vines must convey a feeling of antiquity and a wondrous quality of age. The sculpted vines must seem old, parched, and shriveled, but in a very fascinating and attractive way. They must not show any trace of having been sculpted by man. All of the freshness and brightness of living vines must be gone. They must appear as relics that are thousands of years old.

There are two Chinese sentences that aptly summarize the artistic skills of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in carving withered vines: “There is nothing more beautiful than faux jade, ganoderma lucidum frames, and cactus frames. There is no higher art than creating ancient withered vines that even go beyond the appearance of real vines.”

Only those works of art that possess all of the above–described distinguishing characteristics can be called genuine Yun Sculpture withered vines created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. When these frames of withered vines accompany other Yun Sculpture works of art, the result is “double supreme beauty.” This combination is also solid evidence to determine the authenticity of Yun sculptures created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. When His Holiness’s withered vines are part of Yun Sculpture art frames, such as “Ancient Jade”and “Emerald,” these art frames become even more phenomenal and take on the ancient air of precious and splendid cultural relics. Truly, such works are national treasures that have no equal in the entire world. They are wonderful masterpieces to hang on your wall.

More importantly, we should understand that these sculptures of ancient-looking withered vines are actually a manifestation of His Holiness’s mastery of the inner-realization vidya. Persons of holy virtue who are able to leave their footprints on stones are unable to create such ancient-looking withered vines. The source of these works of art is the enlightenment of a Buddha that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III possesses. That is why they are precious withered vines that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
