What Enabled an Elder Approaching 90 to Surpass the Asian Strongman Champion?
I was astounded after reading the Asian Journal report, Authentic Buddha Dharma that is Irrefutable and Scientifically Incontrovertible. The account of Elder Kaichu Rinpoche (disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) deeply impressed me and sparked a profound sense of curiosity.
According to the report, Elder Kaichu was nearly 90 years old at the time and weighed only 178 pounds. Yet, during the “Lifting the Pestle onto the Platform” demonstration, he surpassed the performance of Lv Xiao, the Asian Strongman Champion. Lv Xiao, who was 36 years old and weighed approximately 350 pounds, had undergone years of professional strength training and represented China at the 2014 Asian Strongman competition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he emerged as the champion among competitors from seven countries.
In contrast, Elder Kaichu (disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) had never engaged in strength training. His daily practice consisted solely of learning and cultivating according to Buddha Dharma. Despite the significant differences in age, body weight, and physical conditioning, Elder Kaichu achieved a result that many strongmen have since attempted but have been unable to match. To this day, no one has matched Elder Kaichu’s achievement of reaching Level 26 in the Vajra Pestle lifting test.
These facts led me to ask a simple question: How could a man approaching 90 years of age, with no history of strength training, outperform the strongest man in Asia?
The report provides Elder Kaichu’s own explanation. He stated:
“The reason I am able to accomplish both Tummo and Vajra Dharma is that I have learned true Buddha Dharma transmitted by His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. As a result, my physical body, bones, and tendons have transformed from ordinary to holy. I used to be very weak and sickly. I had stomach disease, diabetes, knee problems, gout, and was so weak that I couldn’t even lift 10 pounds. All my illnesses have now vanished.”
Reading these words left me in amazement. According to Elder Kaichu, the source of his transformation was neither extraordinary athletic ability nor specialized physical training, but rather his diligent practice of the authentic Buddha Dharma transmitted by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. The report describes a remarkable journey—from a weak and chronically ill individual to someone capable of demonstrating accomplishments that continue to inspire curiosity and discussion.
Elder Kaichu’s story has caused me to reflect more deeply on the meaning of authentic Buddhist practice. If true Buddha Dharma has the ability to transform a person’s body and mind, elevate one’s wisdom and character, and bring about such extraordinary changes, then it is not merely an abstract theory or a philosophical system, nor is it a set of religious teachings confined to words alone. Rather, it is a profound path of cultivation that genuinely benefits sentient beings and leads them toward liberation.
After reading this report, I am filled with admiration and gratitude. It has strengthened my conviction that true Buddha Dharma is not merely an empty theory. Rather, it is a profound path of cultivation that, through sincere practice, has the potential to bring blessings, wisdom, and ultimately liberation to sentient beings.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Accomplishments in Decorative Wall Hangings
Decorative wall hangings refer to works of art hung on a wall. Included among them are figures of animals and people; carvings of ivory, copper, jade, wood, or stone; embroidery; lapis lazuli inlays; artwork relating to flowers, vegetation, tree branches, or feathers; porcelain objects, etc.
In order to fill the inadequacies of modern day wall hangings, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata applied His Buddha powers to create with great facility decorative wall hangings in a myriad of artistic styles that express outstanding novel concepts. These numerous genres are quite diverse, highly elegant, and pleasing to the mind and eye.
We have included six of his decorative wall hangings in this book. One contains the Chinese character fu, which means good fortune or blessings. Here it means beseeching H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to bring good fortune or blessings to living beings. Another contains the English word peace. We hope that the entire world will become peaceful and prosperous. The decorative wall hanging called “Fu” was sculpted out of a faux white jade plate with the Chinese character resembling natural tree vines. The English word in the decorative wall hanging called “Peace” was made from faux deep-sea coral. The periphery of that work of art has the natural winding look of ancient tree vines. This marvelous work is a joy to behold.
The decorative wall hanging called “Mani Treasure” expresses the wisdom-power of the Three Secrets; namely, the body, speech, and mind of the Buddha. Another work of art entitled “Old Gourds With Withered Vines” displays a highly charming style that is rustic, simple, unadorned, elegant, and beautifully aged. The decorative wall hanging “Jia” (“Home”) represents warm feelings. In that work, the purity and elegance of faux green jade was used to symbolize a vibrant and harmonious family. The artwork entitled “The Bone of the Earth and Ganoderma” shows ancient fossils of ganoderma lucidum that look thousands of years old. This decorative wall hanging, which symbolizes world peace, has the appearance of a cultural relic that embodies the core of Chinese and western culture.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Accomplishments in Buildings and Decorative Landscape Design
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata has reached great heights in the design of temples, towers, pavilions, arbors, structures in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, modern western houses, and decorative landscape scenes. Because of limited space, we have selected only a few of examples of structures and decorative landscape scenes designed by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Accomplishments in Tea- Bi Yu Chun & Ba Wang Chun
The tea Bi Yu Chun was rated the highest-grade tea in China. That tea is one of the products of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata that is based on His Holiness’s wisdom and mastery of the Five Vidyas. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has developed the ancient, traditional techniques of producing tea to a level of perfection, resulting in the creation of this superior quality green tea.
When discussing the creation of teas by His Holiness, we should first mention what happened when two people formally became disciples of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Two people who operated a tea factory came to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to formally recognize His Holiness as their Master. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III asked them what they wanted to learn. They said, “Of course, we have come here to learn the Buddha-dharma. We operate a tea factory, but we cannot learn the craft of making teas here.” H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III replied, “There is everything here. I will first teach you how to make tea.” Within three days, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III invented the world’s highest grade tea. His Holiness taught those two disciples how to make that tea. However, everyone should understand that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III had never made any teas prior to that time. There is nothing that a Buddha cannot do. Precisely because of this, His Holiness was able to create with ease a top-grade world-famous tea.
The tea Bi Yu Chun has a unique flavor and a refined quality. The tealeaves are compact and delicate, retain their original fuzz, and have the color and luster of green jade. This tea has the pure aroma of chicken broth or roasted chestnuts. It is pleasantly refreshing and maintains its rich flavor for a long time. The tea is translucent, showing a lustrous green like that of green jade and can be compared to a mountain spring. Long after you taste it, you will ponder its delightful flavor.
A competition to select the best Chinese teas took place in June of 1989. Bi Yu Chun and Chinese teas such as Shi Feng Long Jing, Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun, and Jun Shan Yin Zhen were all under consideration in the selection process. In accordance with the conventional rules of evaluating teas, an evaluation committee composed of tea experts evaluated the “eight main factors” and the “two main characteristics relating to appearance.” Bi Yu Chun received 101 points, which is beyond all grades, making it the top Chinese tea. The experts acclaimed Bi Yu Chun for remedying the three shortcomings of Chinese green tea: not being green enough; having a bitter, astringent taste; and inability to withstand the steeping process well. Based on this alone, Bi Yu Chun has surpassed the highest world standards in the production of tea. Thus, Bi Yu Chun is praised as being the foremost of all Chinese teas.
On August 23, 1989, an evaluation meeting was convened in Beijing to evaluate Bi Yu Chun. Chinese tea experts and famous people from all walks of life participated in that meeting. That evaluation resulted in Bi Yu Chun being extolled as a rare treasure in the world. More than seventy news media reported this. The Beijing news channel broadcast that meeting live. The central television station reported the Bi Yu Chun evaluation meeting as a news item and stated that Bi Yu Chun is the premier tea. Bi Yu Chun thereby shocked the entire country of China, and it became famous abroad as well. It was selected as the representative tea of China at the International Tea Culture Exchange Convention held in Japan. The evaluation committees of the sixty-sixth and sixty-seventh International Trading Conventions categorized Bi Yu Chun as a tea that should be offered to honored guests.
Not long after that, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III casually dipped into His limitless wisdom to develop a type oolong tea called Ba Wang Chun. It is a half-fermented tea with a unique flavor. It combines the fragrances of tea, coffee, and chestnuts. Its taste has the positive qualities of tea and coffee. It is rich yet simple, with a delightful fragrance. Drinking this tea can bring about loss of weight with no loss of energy. It has a refreshing, mind-clearing effect. Tea experts have acclaimed it as being the king of oolong teas, and it has become famous around the world!
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was not attached to the huge successes of both Bi Yu Chun and Ba Wang Chun. For no compensation whatsoever, His Holiness disclosed the secret production technology to those two lay disciples, both of whom worked at the Chengdu Changcheng Health Care Products Factory. His Holiness also prohibited them from revealing that His Holiness was the one who disclosed such tea technology to them. What is even more laudable is that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III did not want one cent of the profits. His Holiness’s only request was that they use part of the profits to take care of elderly people who live alone and children who are deprived of an education due to financial difficulties. Having no other choice, those two disciples used the name Dharma Master Shi Xing as the inventor of those products to show their appreciation for the teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and Sakyamuni Buddha.
How many people in this world truly do not care about fame and gain? Can a person like H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III be found anywhere in the world? It would be good if even one person like His Holiness could be found. However, such a person cannot be found. Words are inadequate to describe the holy virtue and magnificence of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. How could even a great Bodhisattva possess the limitless omniscience that His Holiness possesses? Such real life examples of indifference to fame and gain enable us to see the enlightenment of a true Buddha!
CHENGDU CHANGCHENG HEALTH CARE PRODUCTS COMPANY XINFAN BRANCH Certificate
Our company is a famous professional health care product company. “Xiongli Yufayi” (formerly called Fa Bi Sheng), the frostbite liquid “Yici Ling” (also known as Xiongli Fang Dong Yi), the green tea “Bi Yu Chun,” and the Wulong tea “Ba Wang Chun” are produced by our company.
“Xiongli Yufayi” is a health care product that helps hair regrow. It was the first hair growing product ever examined and approved by the Chinese Health Ministry. It was approved in 1989.
The frostbite liquid “Yici Ling” is a powerful medicine that can cure and prevent frostbite. It has relieved many patients’ pain.
The green tea “Bi Yu Chun” is the highest quality tea among Chinese famous teas. It won the unprecedented score of one hundred and one points at the Chinese Famous Tea Contest. It not only was designated as the tea for honored guests at the 67th International Trading Convention, but also was selected as the representative tea of China at the International Tea Culture Exchange Conference sponsored by Japan.
“Ba Wang Chun” is the type of Oolong tea that is semi-fermented. It has a unique taste. The tea is strong and rich. It is praised as the king of Oolong teas.
The above products were invented and developed by Master Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III). However, he does not have the desire to obtain fame and wealth from them. Without expecting any reward, he handed over to us the right to manufacture these products, which are beneficial to mankind. For more than ten years, the Master has not received any share of the profits from those products, nor has he allowed us to publicize that he has invented and contributed the products. His only request is to devote a share of the profits to support old people in aged care facilities and needy children who cannot get an education due to poverty. Therefore, we asked the Master, “How are we going to introduce the inventor of those products?” The Master replied, “I am a Buddhist. These products belong to Buddhism.” Since the Master did not agree to use his name, we have considered this matter for a long time. We understand that Buddhism was established by Sakyamuni Buddha and to become enlightened and realize our original nature is the goal for all Buddhists. Thus, we decided to use “Dharma Master Shi Xing” as the inventor of the products.
Today, we disclose the secret to make everyone understand that the Master is selfless, always cares for others, and silently contributes to mankind. This kind of noble morality is a role model for us to emulate. The Master is our supreme holy teacher!

Examining Claims About Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Recognition Documents
Since the publication of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III- A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma, various allegations have circulated online, including claims that Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III declared Himself to be a Buddha or fabricated recognition documents. Before accepting such accusations, it is important to examine whether they are logically consistent.
Consider a simple example. Suppose a person knowingly possessed a forged recognition document falsely attributed to a respected religious leader. Would that person deliberately publish the document in a book distributed around the world?
From a practical standpoint, such an action would make little sense. Publishing an allegedly forged document would immediately invite scrutiny from the very individual or institution whose name appeared on it. If the document were indeed fabricated, a public denial could be issued promptly, destroying the publisher’s credibility and potentially leading to legal consequences.
For this reason, the allegation does not appear logically consistent. Deliberately placing an allegedly forged document before the entire world would be one of the quickest ways to expose a fraud if fraud had actually occurred.
The same reasoning applies to the recognitions published in the book. By making these materials publicly available, they became open to examination by religious leaders, scholars, journalists, and readers alike. Rather than remaining hidden, they were presented openly for public scrutiny.
Therefore, from the standpoint of reason and sound logic, the accusations that Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III simply claimed to be a Buddha or forged fake documents to portray Himself as a Buddha are not only unfounded but also absurd and entirely lacking in credibility. Readers should examine the recognitions, historical records, and related documents themselves instead of relying solely on brief descriptions or repeated online assertions.
Serious conclusions deserve careful investigation. Repetition of an allegation does not, by itself, establish its truth. Before accepting or rejecting any claim, it is more reasonable to examine the original sources, consider all available evidence, and arrive at an informed conclusion based on facts rather than assumptions.

@TrueDharma01 I personally attended this Buddha's Birthday Dharma assembly with over a thousand participants! It was supremely auspicious and magnificent! I bow in reverence to my benevolent teacher, the Buddha 🙏
My First Experience at the Dharma Assembly Honoring the Holy Birthday of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III
Before attending the Dharma Assembly Honoring the Holy Birthday of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, I knew very little about Buddhism and had never participated in such a large-scale Buddhist event. I accepted an invitation out of curiosity, expecting to observe a traditional religious ceremony. What I experienced, however, far exceeded my expectations and left a lasting impression on me.
From the moment I entered the venue, I sensed an atmosphere of dignity, serenity, and profound respect. The beautifully arranged altar, the graceful floral decorations, and the orderly seating reflected meticulous preparation. Despite the large number of attendees, everything proceeded with remarkable precision and harmony. Volunteers guided participants with genuine warmth and courtesy, always wearing welcoming smiles and patiently assisting anyone who needed help.
What amazed me most was the extraordinary level of organization. Every part of the Dharma Assembly unfolded smoothly and reverently. There was no confusion or disorder, even though people from many countries and cultural backgrounds had gathered together. The entire event demonstrated an impressive spirit of cooperation, discipline, and mutual respect that is rarely seen at gatherings of this size.
As I observed the ceremony, I was touched by the sincerity of everyone present. The participants were not merely attending an event—they were expressing heartfelt reverence and offering prayers for world peace, the well-being of humanity, and the happiness of all living beings. It was inspiring to witness so many people united by compassion and goodwill rather than personal interests.
Although I am not a disciple of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, attending this Dharma Assembly gave me an opportunity to learn more about Him and the values that His teachings encourage. As I listened to those around me speak about His teachings and observed the compassion, humility, and kindness reflected throughout the event, I began to understand why so many people deeply respect and appreciate Him. The atmosphere itself conveyed a powerful message—that genuine spiritual practice should inspire people to become more compassionate, more considerate of others, and more dedicated to creating harmony in society.
One aspect that particularly moved me was the selfless dedication of the volunteers. They worked quietly behind the scenes without seeking recognition, ensuring that every participant felt welcomed and cared for. Their humility, patience, and willingness to serve others demonstrated values that many people, regardless of their religious beliefs, would admire and respect.
As the Dharma Assembly came to a close, I found myself reflecting on the experience. In today’s fast-paced world, opportunities to witness such sincerity, harmony, and mutual respect are increasingly rare. This gathering was much more than a ceremonial celebration; it was a powerful reminder that kindness, compassion, and selfless service have the ability to bring people together across cultures and backgrounds.
I left the venue with a heart full of admiration and gratitude. Although I came simply as a visitor, I departed with a much deeper appreciation for the positive influence that Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III has had on so many people’s lives. Seeing thousands of individuals inspired to cultivate kindness, serve others, and pray for the well-being of the world was deeply moving.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have attended this remarkable Dharma Assembly. It was an unforgettable experience that broadened my understanding of Buddhism and demonstrated how genuine compassion and harmony can unite people from all walks of life. The solemnity of the ceremony, the exceptional organization, and the sincere spirit of everyone present will remain in my memory for years to come.

Praying for a Child — Gratitude to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III
I would like to share with every mother who is hoping to conceive that there is an incredibly effective way to pray for a child—the Buddha Dharma.
My precious little one was born safely in December 2016, filling my heart with immense gratitude and happiness. I have always been in poor health. Before becoming pregnant with my daughter, I had experienced the heartbreaking loss of a child. At that time, I believed I might never be able to have children again.
Fortunately, I had already begun studying the Buddha Dharma about a year before that happened. During that period, I diligently listened to the Dharma discourses of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and sincerely recited the Universal Gateway of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I dedicated the merits to the child with whom I no longer had the karmic affinity, while also praying that all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would bless me with a healthy child.
Then something truly miraculous happened. Just two months later, I became pregnant again.
During my pregnancy, I became even more diligent in listening to the Dharma and reciting the Universal Gateway of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Before each session, I would lovingly say to my baby:
“My dear little one, Mommy is about to listen to the Dharma and recite the Universal Gateway of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I invite you to join me so that we can learn together. May you grow up healthy, wise, and well-behaved. May all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas bless us.”
Truly, my child has grown up to be exceptionally intelligent.
While she was still in my womb, I would often communicate with her, saying:
“My little one, when it’s time for you to be born, please don’t let Mommy panic. Give Mommy enough time to prepare mentally. Also, please be born weighing between 2,900 and 3,200 grams—a healthy weight that will make delivery easier for Mommy.”
I have always been someone who is very afraid of pain. Although I eagerly looked forward to my baby’s arrival, I was also extremely anxious about childbirth. After every Dharma-listening session, I would dedicate the merits and pray that all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would bless me, because I knew the pain of childbirth was beyond what most people could imagine. I also worried that labor might begin unexpectedly before I was prepared.
Even though I had made every preparation, I still felt somewhat nervous.
On my due date, I went directly to the hospital to be induced. That day, I arrived at the hospital calmly and without panic to give birth—an experience I will never forget.
The labor ward was filled with the anguished cries of other mothers in labor. Hearing their suffering brought tears to my eyes. My husband, who was by my side, could hardly eat a bite and quietly fought back tears himself. Their cries were so heart-rending that even those nearby could deeply feel the tremendous pain these mothers were enduring.
During the induction process, I felt only mild discomfort. After receiving the epidural anesthesia, I experienced almost no pain at all. Eventually, the nurse said to me:
“You’re fully dilated and ready to deliver! It’s time to go into the delivery room. Don’t you feel anything?”
I replied,
“Honestly, I don’t feel much at all—just a little pressure.”
At that moment, however, I became afraid that because I couldn’t really feel the contractions, I wouldn’t know how to push. I worried that I might not be able to deliver naturally and would end up needing a cesarean section. The fear I felt was difficult to describe.
Even so, I was probably the quietest mother in the entire labor ward.
Then, in the midst of my fear, I suddenly seemed to hear a voice saying:
“The more fearful you are, the more important it is to remain calm.”
I closed my eyes, visualized the compassionate holy image of the Buddha Master, and continuously recited:
“Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III.”
As I was wheeled into the delivery room, another miracle occurred.
Less than ten minutes after entering the delivery room, my baby was born.
Throughout the entire delivery, I felt virtually no pain at all. It was nothing like the agonizing, hellish pain that many people describe.
Even one of the nurses assisting me remarked,
“How did she do that? Just a moment ago she didn’t even know how to push…”
(To this day, I still find it astonishing myself.)
Even more amazingly, my baby’s birth weight was exactly 3,000 grams—precisely what I had hoped for. She was born healthy and safe.
I am profoundly grateful for the compassionate blessings of the Buddha Master and all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The entire childbirth process went remarkably smoothly, and my daughter has grown up to be an easygoing and well-behaved child.
I deeply understand that everything I experienced was made possible through the compassionate blessings of the Buddha Master and all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The empowering strength of the Buddha Dharma was something I experienced personally—it was real, tangible, and unmistakable.
With the deepest gratitude to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas throughout the ten directions.
Gratitude to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III!

World Buddhism Association Headquarters Lotus Button Holy Guru Mozhi’s Speech at the 2026 Dharma Ceremony Honoring the Holy Birthday of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III
With utmost sincerity, let us pay obeisance!
Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III!
Namo Shakyamuni Buddha!
Namo Yuhua Shouzhi Wang Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva!
Namo all Buddhas in the ten directions, Vajra Beings, Bodhisattvas, Sky-goers, and Dharma Protectors!
We are gathered here today with utmost piety, sincerity, and gratitude to respectfully honor the holy birthday of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. On this auspicious day, we reminisce about Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III with the deepest reverence. We are profoundly grateful to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III for bringing to all living beings magnificent Buddha Dharma and perfect accomplishment in the Five Vidyās. We are immensely thankful for the auspicious opportunity to respectfully listen to the audio recordings of the true Dharma expounded by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, and to study the “Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection.” They are supreme Dharma treasures!
Buddhist disciples know deep in their hearts that the goal of learning from Buddha and practicing cultivation is absolutely not about fame or fortune. Rather, it is to attain accomplishment and liberation, and be delivered from the cycle of birth and death. This is why, as Buddhist disciples, we must always remind ourselves that our cultivation must not be mere lip service or formality. Truly learning from Buddha is about practicing in accordance with the true Dharma, guiding our own conduct with correct knowledge and right views, walking the path of liberation, and benefiting all living beings.
During this Dharma-ending age, confused knowledge and chaotic views abound, and evil teachings proliferate. Without right faith, we are extremely likely to get lost. Having right faith is not just about believing in the magnificent compassion of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It involves understanding and believing in causality, and deeply believing that Buddha Dharma can enable all living beings to achieve true deliverance from suffering and the attainment of joy. It is about steadfastly applying the teachings of the Buddha in our own cultivation.
Therefore, we must place our complete reliance on the teachings in the “Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection.” This Sutra Collection is the vital refuge that guides all living beings in their cultivation practice, leading them toward liberation. We must study the Sutras with reverence, respectfully listen to audio recordings of the Dharmas expounded by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, practice in accordance with the teachings, strictly abide by the precepts, and earnestly cultivate ourselves. We must resolve to propagate the true Buddha Dharma, enable more living beings to listen to the true Dharma, uphold the right views, and walk the true path of cultivation.
Speaking of learning and propagating the “Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection,” we are deeply aware that many native English speakers have been looking forward to studying an accurate and complete translation. I, too, sincerely wish for the English translations to be published as soon as possible, so that more living beings can learn the true Dharma and develop the right views. Translating the Sutras is a profoundly reverential and serious undertaking. In the process, we have encountered many adverse karmic conditions and obstacles. However, no matter how great the difficulties and challenges, we should vigorously drive the English translation forward with utmost reverence, a devoted sense of responsibility, and unwavering determination. In doing so, we wish to enable many more living beings with affinity to encounter the true Dharma, learn the true Dharma, and walk the path of liberation.
All of us should clearly understand that a Buddha’s descent into this world and entry into Parinirvana are due to the good karmic rewards, causes and conditions, and shared karma of all living beings. The coming of the Dharma-ending age is due to the causality and shared karma of all living beings. We can therefore understand that nothing escapes causality. Likewise, it is by virtue of our own causality that we have the opportunity to learn from Buddha and practice cultivation in this lifetime, so as to attain liberation and accomplishment.
The Buddhas compassionately expounded the true Dharma, pointing living beings toward the path of liberation. Even though Buddha Dharma can lead us onto the path of liberation, it cannot replace our own cultivation. Liberation cannot be attained through pleading or waiting; nor is it something that can be bestowed upon us. It must come through our own genuine cultivation, accumulated day by day.
A person who wishes to cross a river will never reach the other shore if they refuse to board the raft ready to take them. A person who is lost will not reach their destination if they do not move forward when pointed in the right direction. The same applies to learning from Buddha and practicing cultivation. Ultimately, truly moving step by step toward the other shore is something only we can do for ourselves.
This is why we must always reflect upon what we do with our body, speech, and mind, sincerely repent of our own sins, strictly abide by the precepts, earnestly cultivate our conduct, and diligently practice Dharma. We must not do any bad deeds, and do all kinds of good deeds. Only by applying Buddha Dharma in our daily lives can we truly transform what we learn from the Dharma into virtue and merit, and reap the benefits. Only then can we continue to make progress, and eventually attain liberation and accomplishment!
Moreover, not only must we cultivate ourselves to attain liberation, but we must also give rise to a mind of great compassion and beneficence. We must apply our own cultivation to uphold, protect, and propagate the true Dharma. We must enable more living beings with karmic affinity to listen to the true Dharma, increase their merit and wisdom, and together plant the cause of liberation.
Finally, may all living beings fulfill their kind wishes, increase their merit and wisdom, live auspiciously, and soon attain liberation!
May all nations flourish and all countries enjoy stability! May there be peace on earth, may the true Dharma eternally abide, and may the Dharma wheel turn forever!
Let us once again pay obeisance!
Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III!
Namo Shakyamuni Buddha!
Namo Yuhua Shouzhi Wang Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva!
Namo all Buddhas in the ten directions, Vajra Beings, Bodhisattvas, Sky-goers, and Dharma Protectors!

The Story of My Rebirth
I wholeheartedly prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
In 2014, I was diagnosed with stage 2 spleen cancer and had the surgery performed at the University of Taiwan Hospital. In June the same year, I started chemotherapy. Sister Qinyi Zhou came to visit me in September that year and brought me a copy of the book The Buddha Speaks on Curing the Hemorrhoids Sutra. I chanted the sutra continuously for one month and I noticed the dark brown nails on my hands – the side effect of chemotherapy – had started to fade. It was unbelievable!
During that time, sister Zhou and Buddhist brother Sangdun Chuba Rinpoche frequently visited me and even helped me to begin to set up an altar and purchased all the necessary items to offer to the Buddhas. I also invited Buddhist brother Jijia Cuoren Rinpoche and many other Buddhist brothers and sisters to come to my house for the purification ceremony and beseeching blessings. I then set up my dharma-listening center. I requested recorded Dharma from International Buddhism Sangha Association in order to promote Buddha Dharma and benefit others. After that, miraculously my symptoms of peeling skins on my hands and feet and the mouth ulcer that was seriously affecting my eating gradually disappeared. What was even harder to believe was that the MRI done in November 2014 showed that the cancer had vanished. Cancer marker went from 67 to 46 in about a little more than 2 months – The terrifying spleen cancer just disappeared! I had never thought that chanting Buddhist Sutras and setting up a Dharma-listening center would have such powerful blessing on me!
Seeing my progress, sister Zhou encouraged me to take the examination to become a Master of Dharma-Listening Sessions so that I could promote the correct views and understanding of the Buddha dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to others. It would be the best way to benefit others and carry out the Bodhicitta. In so doing, I would receive even more blessings, she said. I did not disappoint her and successfully passed the exam in March 2015.
A few months after that, the doctor who was in charge of my chemotherapy, Dr. Yang, suddenly announced that my treatment should be stopped ahead of schedule ( normally it has to last for more than a year) This had never happened before! So, my confidence increased and I was even more diligent in listening to the Buddha Dharma and reading Buddhist books. I consistently rain or shine went to the group cultivation sessions held at Holy Dharma Compassion and Kindness Association. I cultivate myself and learn from the Buddha with a heart of repentance and gratitude. On September 21, 2016 my primary doctor, Professor Tian told me “no more doctor’s visits, just periodical rechecks in charged by Dr. Yang.” So I only need another doctor’s visit! What a great relief! I felt like a burden of rock has shifted off my shoulders.
During the past two years, if it was not because of the blessings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, if I did not study Buddhism and cultivate myself, if there was no help and encouragement from the Buddhist brothers and sisters , I would not have recovered from cancer and I would not have been able to travel around the world and gone to social functions! In contrast, my husband who had brain cancer and was very stubborn and did not want to believe in Buddhism died in May 2015.
I transform my grief to power and strongly believe in the law of cause and effect. I will continue to study Buddhism, listen to the recorded Dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, cultivate my words, thoughts, and behaviors, promote kindness and eradicate evil, and strive to correspond with the Buddha! Here, I would like to thank all the members of the medical team at Taiwan University who have treated me, all my relatives and family members, my Buddhist brothers and sisters for their kindness and care. They have made it possible for me to cultivate and learn from the Buddha! Amitabha!

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Accomplishments in Sculptures Containing Mysterious Mist
Sculptures containing mysterious mist created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata are among the most wondrous works ever created in the history of the earthly realm. The reason why His Holiness created such works in this world is as follows. When people describe the accomplishments of certain dharma kings or rinpoches, they frequently say that so-and-so great rinpoche left a footprint on a stone. In so doing, these people speak of the highest Buddha-dharma skills as being nothing more than the skills of a stonemason. They leave the impression that rinpoches of great holiness are only able to leave handprints or footprints on stones. There are even some people with deep karmic hindrances who go so far as to say that dharma kings and rinpoches are simply those who work miracles on stones. They say that dharma kings and rinpoches have no skills other than leaving imprints on stones. There are even those who think that such imprints were made from steel drills.
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III created these miraculous sculptures containing mysterious mist in order to make people around the world understand the magnificence of the Buddha-dharma and the omnipotence of a Buddha, in order that the Buddha-dharma not be further insulted, and in order to fulfill a formal prediction made by H.H. Mahavairocana Tathagata. These miraculous works can be seen and touched. However, they cannot be created by anyone who is not a being of the highest holiness.
The mysterious mist in these sculptures can be found floating among wondrously carved, seemingly changing, and intriguingly interconnected hanging rock formations. Why is such art called sculptures containing mysterious mist? It is because in those sculptures there is the mysterious and beautiful scene of auspicious mist swirling in between hanging rock formations. This is a manifestation of the realization of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in the craftsmanship vidya and the inner realization vidya.
For example, there is the sculpture entitled “Mysterious Boulder With Mist.” After carving the material into the form of an oval boulder, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III created two grottoes inside the boulder, each of which contains its own scenery. When you look inside the right grotto, you will see thick mist enveloping everything. The structure of the carved scenery inside this hole is vague, since it cannot be clearly seen through the mist. You are left with the impression that the mist is a few dozen yards deep inside the hole when it is actually only three or four feet deep. When you look inside the left grotto, you will see that there is no mist at all. You will clearly see the structure of the carved scenery inside this hole. The material used to carve those two grottoes was the same, the colors applied to both of them were the same, and their depth is the same. The carving skills and inner-realization of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III caused this mysterious phenomenon of one side containing thick, enveloping mist and the other side containing no mist at all. What is even more amazing is that this sculpture containing mysterious mist can even cure people of their illnesses. After many people viewed this holy sculpture created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III for only one or two minutes, their stubborn illnesses that had plagued them for dozens of years were cured.
It is no wonder that people praise these sculptures containing mysterious mist as the only form of art in human history that contains natural mist. People also praise them as unique and precious masterpieces that cannot be found in nature. These works of art are one type of sculpture created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
