H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

　 　 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 ...

　　 What I am about to say is about the Yun sculpture “A Pillar Holding Up Heaven” created by H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee , my Buddha Dharma King Master. One year and nine months ago, this holy work of art was completed and its shape finalized. A year and nine months had passed, and several of us decided to place the artwork “A Pillar Holding Up Heaven” into a display cabinet. First, the bottom edge of the artwork had to be closely traced on a baseboard. This was done to make sure that the sculpture would be centered. I personally traced a black line very carefully around the artwork. At that point, we all figured out that the size of the display cabinet which had previously been calculated and built was too small and the upper portion of the artwork would go beyond the baseboard. Because the body of the artwork was too large, it was impossible to fit in the display cabinet. H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee strictly criticized us, “Why didn’t you measure it right in the beginning? Will this display...

　　 On November 6, 1999, I was very fortunate to have been able to accompany H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu to Puttamonton, Thailand. I went there together with Professor Yu-Hua Wang, who holds a doctorate degree in Buddhism Dharma Philosophy from the American League of Colleges and Universities, which is composed of 83 colleges and universities in the United States and around the world, and who also holds a Ph.D. degree from Manning University in England. Other people who went on that trip with us included H.E. Denma Tsemang II, Venerable Dachu II Hengsheng Rinpoche and Luoben Songzan. There were more than thirty of us all together. 　　 After we prostrated before the holy image of Sakyamuni Buddha, we walked to a bodhi tree beside a lake under which H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III sat. Perceiving that the karmic conditions were special, 　 Venerable Dachu II Hengsheng Rinpoche knelt on the ground, put his palms together in respect, and respectfully beseeched H.H. Dorje C...

Great Perfection Rainbow State at the Vajra Throne 　　 H.H. Dorje ChangBuddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata has taught that if one who practices the Great Perfection Dharma has attained the highest level of accomplishment, even the dharma instruments or dharma seat used by such an accomplished one will turn into a rainbow. This has now become a fact. 　　 The place shown on these photographs where the lights are glittering is the vajra throne area where H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III (previously known as Master Wan Ko Yee ) practiced dharma. Many inner-tantric initiations for rinpoches, dharma teachers, and lamas as well as many Buddha-dharma ceremonies were conducted by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III as His Holiness sat within this lawn area, which is a vajra throne mandala. 　 　　 In the afternoon of July 4, 2006, there was only strong sunlight and not a cloud in the sky. Suddenly, the heavenly dragons roared with laughter causing thunderous sounds in the sky. Additiona...

A Narration for Which I Am Willing to Bear Any Karmic Retribution 　　 H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata has come to this world again. Everyone knows that there is no other holy person in this world whose noble moral character and Five Vidyas wisdom can compare with those of His Holiness. Holy states that people often regard as extraordinary constantly occur when one is at the side of H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata. We attendants have seen so many holy states over the long course of time we have been attending upon His Holiness that we often become accustomed to seeing these holy states. We even have felt somewhat numb or indifferent to such states. However, I would now like to narrate two events. I am not narrating these events because they are related to me but because they are directly related to the good fortune of all living beings in this earthly realm. 　　 The first event occurred after about 4:00 in the afternoon on July 30, 19...

　　 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 (Previously known as Master Wan Ko Yee ). https://vincentchang2190.blogspot.com/2019/06/buildings-and-decorative-landscape.html

　　 The images of Buddhas designed by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata are the most awe-inspiring and sublime images of Buddhas in the world today. Everyone who has seen images of Buddhas designed by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III feels that each one of them is a world treasure. One example is the twenty-one-foot-high statue of Amitabha Buddha inside the Hua Zang Si temple in San Francisco. That statue has been generally recognized as the most majestic Buddhist statue in the world. H.H. D orje Chang Buddha III designed that Buddhist statue. The factory that produced it used as its blueprint an oil painting by His Holiness. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III personally decided upon revisions to that statue many times during the production process. His Holiness not only designed that statue, He also made the final decisions on all aspects of that statue, including the shades of colors used.  　　 ”The Three Holy Beings of the Western Paradise,” which is th...

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu’s Selected Philosophical Sayings About Worldly Matters (This is a translation of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu’s philosophical sayings about worldly matters originally written in Chinese.) 　　 LXXVI. 　　 To forgive is evidence of one’s virtue. Right or wrong, success or failure will eventually become apparent to the public, and those who trespassed against you will be ashamed of themselves. 　　 LXXVII. 　　 What one has learned may dull one’s sensitivity to new knowledge and throw one into the darkness of ignorance. If such ignorance is not broken, one cannot hope to become intelligent, still less reach the realm of wisdom. 　　 LXXVIII. 　　 When someone criticizes or slanders you, there must be some mistakes you have made in handling things inappropriately, or at least you have failed to win people’s approval and respect for what you did. What you must do in this case is to make full cri...

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu’s Selected Philosophical Sayings About Worldly Matters (This is a translation of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu’s philosophical sayings about worldly matters originally written in Chinese.) 　 　　 LXXI. 　　 Buddhist teachings have nothing to do with supernatural forces, fortune telling or the practice of “feng shui” and “yin yang” Such teachings are based on the law of cause and effect. Buddhist teachings begin with observing precepts, obtaining peacefulness of mind, and cultivating wisdom. It is followed by practicing the four limitless states of mind: benevolence, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. Disciples are tanght a love of their country, a love of the world, and service to people without selfish attachments. The whole meaning of the Buddhist teachings is to understand that everything is subtly substantive, yet truly empty.  　　 LXXII.       Do not join a crowd that scrambles to ...

Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu’s philosophical sayings about worldly matters originally written in Chinese.) 　　 LXVI. 　　 Minor things are useful. Do not give them up because of their insignificance or defects. Why? Because defects exist side by side with merits. The right thing to do is to make the best use of a thing’s merits and ignore its defects. Bulky logs can be used as material for buildings and ships, but they are unfit to fuel a cooking stove. For cooking fuel you need small pieces of firewood or you go hungry. 　　 LXVII. 　　 Complacency and pessimism are enemies of success. Complacency creates a false pride that inhibits one from learning more, and pessimism leads to inaction that kills all the possibilities of success. 　　 LXVIII. 　　 The wicked always fein benignity to cover up their...
