The Explanation of the Buddha’s Title –
“H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III”
On April 3, 2008, a solemn and dignified first-publishing ceremony of a fact-recording book entitled H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III,
which published jointly by the World Buddhism Publishing LLC and the
World Dharma Voice, Inc., was held at the Library of the Congress of the
United States. The book was also formally accepted into the collection
of the Library of the Congress of the United States. Only since that
time, did people in the world know that Master Wan Ko Yee, who had been broadly respected by the great masses and who had also been known as Great Dharma King Yangwo Yeshe Norbu,
had been recognized by the world’s leaders, regent dharma kings, and
great rinpoches of Buddhism through official documents as the third
incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, who is the primordial Sambhogakaya Buddha of the universe. The Buddha’s name is H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Since then, people began to address His Holiness the Buddha by “Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III.”
This is similar to the situation that Sakyamuni Buddha’s name was
Prince Siddhartha Gotama before attaining Buddhahood. However, after
Sakyamuni Buddha had attained Buddhahood, His title changed to “Namo
Sakyamuni Buddha.” That is why we now address His Holiness the Buddha as
“H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.”
In
particular, on December 12, 2012, the Senate Resolution No. 614 of the
United States Congress officially used “His Holiness” in the name
addressing Dorje Chang Buddha III (That is to say, “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.”) Since then, the title and status of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has been definitive by nature. And, as a matter of fact, “Dorje Chang Buddha III”
is a name used legally in governmental and official legislative
documents. Therefore, the previously used respected name and titles such
as “Wan Ko Yee,” Great Master, and Great Dharma King no longer exist.
However, the news below was published before the Buddha’s title of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was
publicly announced. At that time, people did not know about the true
status of His Holiness the Buddha. Therefore, to respect the true
history, we still kept the names used before the title of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was
legitimately determined in republishing this news. However, all must
clearly know that the only legitimate name of His Holiness the Buddha is
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and all other names used before the legitimate determination no longer exist.

Master Wan Ko Yee,
master of Buddhism and art, yesterday made Chinese art history when his
painting was sold for the highest price ever by a living Chinese
artist.
His painting,“Venerable Da Li Won”, broke the painters own record when it sold for NT$72 million, or US$467 per square inch, an official from the auction said.
“Originally,
we estimated that it might be sold for about NT$30 million. However,
the bidding went higher and higher. Though the final selling price was
beyond what we had expected, it wasn’t really much of a surprise because
Master Wan Ko Yee is very influential in the religious world and his painting is outstanding”, said Thomas Fan, an official at the Chinese Painting Department of Unique Art Collections International Co.,Ltd.
Fan
said that the bidding for the painting started at NT$18 million and
that a British art collector and art merchant, Mr. Naylor, made the
final bid. Fan added that the company was not allowed to release any
further information about the buyer.
The record selling price of US$467 per square inch beat the record of his last painting “Majesty,” which
was auctioned off at the price of US$455 per square inch on May 28,
according to a statement released by the Unique Art Collections
International.
Master Wan Ko Yee
has received high recognition worldwide. Both the governments of the
State of California and City of San Francisco have separately proclaimed
March 8, 2000 as‘Master Wan Ko Yee Day’because of his outstanding achievements in various fields.
