INTRODUCTION TO H.H. DORJE CHANG BUDDHA III (6)



     There are certain time periods relating to H.H.Dorje Chang Buddha IIIs propagating the dharma and benefiting living beings. Before the age of eleven was the period during which His Holiness was engaged in the Tripitaka of exoteric Buddhism. From the age of eleven to fifteen was the period during which His Holiness was engaged in the esoteric dharma of the Kagyu school. During that time, he was called Dusum Khenpa Lions Roar Dharma Prince. After the age of fifteen was the period during which His Holiness was engaged in the esoteric teachings of the Geluk school. His Holiness was at that time called the reincarnation of Master Tsongkhapa.

Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Dorje Chang brings good fortune and wisdom to all living beings.

　　The highest dharma king of the Northern Treasure lineage of the Nyingma sect, H.H. Dharma King Taklung Tsetrul, wrote the following words of congratulations: His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu possesses the true dharma of the Buddhas . . .

　 　 SOLEMN EXPLANATION 　　 I hold in great respect Master Wan Ko Yee ’ s noble moral character. I have known the Master for ten years. I have seen so many examples of the Master ’ s selflessness and morality. I was so moved that I decided to do something to benefit the Master. In order to make an offering to the Master, I made a special trip to the United States in 1999. I invited the Master to Oakland to see an almost 65,000 square foot building that I would like to offer to him. The Master did not accept it. Later, I invited the Master to Richmond, which is in the San Francisco area, to view a 37 acre piece of land. That land was only a little more than ten minutes from Chinatown by car and was situated in a good part of the city. The Master immediately and steadfastly refused to accept it. My only choice was to give up. 　　 Finally, a year later, I made an offering to the Master of US$1,500,000. The Master immediately instructed someone to fax me material in Chinese and

Genuine respect is built on moral integrity and can stand the test of time. 　　 LIII. 　　 Wisdom and ability come with the experience of what one is conscious of, which is a process of transforming knowledge into practice. It is these experiences that

SUPERNATURAL POWERS IN BUDDHISM

Do Buddhists advocate supernatural powers? Actually, this is not a matter of advocating or not advocating. Rather, supernatural powers are that which everyone who is accomplished in the dharma possesses. Such powers are the manifestation of realization achieved through cultivation. They are phenomena that exist in the course of cultivation but are not the goal of cultivation, which is liberation from the cycle of birth and death. They are by-products that arise during ones practice. These by-products called supernatural phenomena naturally exist in all liberating paths within the Buddha-dharma. Becoming attached to these by-products and regarding them as the goal is heretical supernatural powers. Applying these by-products in a free and unattached way and regarding them as illusory is treating supernatural powers based on the correct Buddha-dharma view. 　　 Sakyamuni Buddha manifested supernatural powers and also was against supernatural powers. Each of those two tacks reflects differ
