A Sacred Gathering Honoring H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

I personally attended the global Dharma assembly held in honor of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, revered as the Pope of Buddhism, and it was truly one of the most meaningful spiritual experiences of my life. The atmosphere was filled with peace, reverence, and sacred energy. Devotees from around the world gathered in unity and devotion—to celebrate the holy birthday of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and to express gratitude for His transformative teachings that continue to uplift countless lives.

From the moment I stepped into the venue, I could feel the compassionate blessings and spiritual empowerment surrounding the space. The entire hall radiated auspiciousness and Dharma joy. Practitioners were visibly moved—many had their palms together or chanted mantras with deep sincerity.

A Touching Offering by 108 Disciples

One of the most beautiful moments occurred mid-assembly when 108 Buddhist disciples stepped forward to respectfully offer their devotion to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Their faces glowed with joy and humility. Their sincere offerings reflected a heartfelt commitment to the Dharma and deep gratitude for the teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. The entire hall became a sea of peaceful smiles, reverent bows, and spiritual radiance.

The True Dharma: Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection

A key highlight of the event was a powerful speech delivered by Venerable Tsemang, who spoke with great emotion and wisdom. He shared the immense significance of the “Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection”, a monumental project undertaken to preserve and spread the true teachings of the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

Venerable Tsemang explained:

“We have undertaken the significant task of editing and publishing the first part of the Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection. This endeavor not only expresses our profound gratitude and unwavering yearning for H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, but more importantly, it will enable countless sentient beings to attain accomplishment and liberation through studying the Collection.”

He further explained that the Collection encompasses the essence of all Buddhist teachings—including precepts, correct views, cultivation practices, and Dharma methods—and covers Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana paths. According to him, even if one focuses on a single volume or one Dharma-gate from the Collection and practices it diligently, they can certainly attain liberation. This is the supreme and expedient path for sentient beings, Arhats, and Bodhisattvas alike.

These words left a lasting impact on me. As a follower of the Buddha Dharma, I felt deep gratitude for witnessing this sacred and historic event. The atmosphere was filled with dignified chanting, heartfelt prayers, and moments of profound spiritual connection. The unity, reverence, and shared aspiration of the assembly were deeply moving and unforgettable.

Closing with Joy and Aspiration

The Dharma assembly concluded perfectly in the end, and everyone left with satisfied smiles and joyful hearts. Some even expressed their hope to attend such a magnificent and meaningful event every year—and said they would invite more people to join in the future.

Recognitions & Congratulations to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

A Buddha Truly Recognized as Such in Accordance with the Dharma

The people on both sides of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III on this page are the highest present-day dharma kings and regent dharma kings from various Buddhist sects or are famous rinpoches. It is they who wrote recognitions, corroborations, or congratulations to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the first Buddha on earth to have received such a large number of recognitions, corroborations, and congratulations and to have been recognized as having the highest status! No other Rinpoche on earth has ever received even one third of the number of recognitions, corroborations, and congratulations from great dharma kings, regent dharma kings, etc. that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has received. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has singlehandedly manifested accomplishments in thirty large categories involving all of the Five Vidyas, thereby establishing the highest record of accomplishment in the history of Buddhism in this world.

Certain evil people have slandered H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III as having conferred upon Himself the status of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and they have thereby guided Buddhist practitioners toward evil. In order to protect the wisdom roots of living beings, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III makes the following vow of truth: “If those recognitions, corroborations, and congratulations that follow did not come from the dharma kings, regent dharma kings, and rinpoches whose photographs appear on this page of from their temples and/ or are not copies of the original texts but rather are my fabrications with forged signatures – if even one such case exists – then i should descend into hell without the possibility of ever leaving hell. If those recognitions, corroborations, and congratulations were written or typed by them as well as signed and/ or stamped by them, the merit of this truth will bring to everyone wonderful blessings and wisdom! Vow Maker- Dorje Chang Buddha III“

YIDAM-DHARMA INITIATION MASTER OF THE 17TH KARMAPA: H.H. DHARMA KING GONGBAO DUMU QUJI

H.H. Dharma King Dumu Quji was conferred the title of “Buddha-Dharma National Master” by an emperor in the Ming Dynasty. The meaning of “Quji” is Dharma King. H.H. Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji XVIII is the Vajra Master of H.H. the 17th Karmapa Great Jewel Dharma King. He performed the yidam dharma initiation for H.H. the 17th Karmapa Great Jewel Dharma King. He is the only one of great holiness and virtue who cleansed through a ritual bathing H.H. the 17th Karmapa and formally put the Great Jewel Dharma King robes onto H.H. the 17th Karmapa. He did so at the respectful request of H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche, who is one of the four great Dharma Princes. During the time H.H. Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji XVIll performed initiations for the Karmapa, he saw in a supernatural state the ancient, primordial Buddha-Dorje Chang Buddha——bless the Karmapa. That ancient Buddha manifested as H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha Ill. H.H. Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji XVIII wrote the following about this real experience: “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the highest refuge countless living beings can rely upon to attain liberation. I prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.”

DANGKA MONASTERY IN YUSHU PREFECTURE, QINGHAI PROVINCE AFFIRMATION AND CONGRATULATIONS

With boundless gratitude, I prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!

In this lifetime, I formally put the Great Jewel Dharma King robes on to the 17th Karmapa, H.H. Urgyen Trinley Dorje, and performed the yidam dharma initiation for him, which included transmitting dharma to him. A few days before I did that, I saw in a supernatural state the Buddha Vajradhara appear over the head of the Karmapa. The Buddha Vajradhara was radiating light that empowered the Karmapa. Very soon after that, the Buddha Vajradhara metamorphosed into one who was sitting down. He was wearing a yellow robe. His long hair was at shoulder level, and He looked dignified and imposing. Behind Him were high stones, a pool, rooms, red flowers, and green pines. Below Him was a wooden deck. At that time, I knew Dorje Chang Buddha had come to this world, but I did not see His exact whereabouts. During all these many years, I have constantly kept that scene in mind and have reviewed it.

I recently received the book H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. This was probably the result of being blessed by the twenty-one Taras. When I turned to page twenty-one and saw that holy image of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, I was totally shocked. It was the exact image of Dorje Chang Buddha that I saw in that supernatural state. There was not the slightest difference between the two, including the setting that surrounded H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

I now solemnly affirm and offer congratulations for the following: The karmic conditions of living beings to encounter dharma have matured, for they can now benefit from the brilliant wisdom of the Buddha as they had wished. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is a precious book of true Buddha-dharma, a treasury that incorporates 84,000 dharma methods. It demonstrates accomplishments in the Five Vidyas unprecedented in the history of Buddhism. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the highest refuge countless living beings can rely upon to attain liberation. I prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!!

I feel very fortunate and lucky to have the opportunity to respectfully listen to the recorded Dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, revered as the Pope of Buddhism.

The recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III that I listened to include What is Cultivation?, Impermanence, and others. Every time after respectfully listening to a recorded dharma discourse, I felt like being a fully charged computer. The dharma discourse alerted me to wake up from complex and chaotic worldly matters, reminding me that I must cultivate to become liberated from samsara and benefit others using the benefits I received.

In particular, the dharma discourse expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III entitled A Deviated Mind Attached to Phenomena is Mara; Differentiation under Any Circumstances Diverges from the State of Meditation benefited me especially very much. After respectfully listening to this dharma discourse, I began to learn how to put down attachment to self and how to prevent myself from being pulled by external states. However, in this process of learning, I am still often attached to various matters due to my habitual nature of an ordinary being. Only until after the incident, was I able to introspect to realize that I should hold up the correct thought, cultivate myself well, and put down attachment to self. Then I again began to make the effort to act according to the teaching.

I have been back and forth in this process. I make mistakes often, but I also repeatedly remind myself after the incident. 

Under a karmic condition, misunderstanding was produced between me and several friends of mine due to our different opinions in the process of working together. One of them attacked and criticized me in many ways. Had the situation occurred before I started to learn Buddhism and cultivate myself, I would have rebutted and scolded loudly in return long ago. Then the result would definitely be like a struggle of life and death. However, I was very calm at that time. I knew that if I was attached to it, afflictions would arise in me. I thought, “I should put it down. There is no need to explain. After a while, this misunderstanding will be untied and solved.” In the end, the misunderstanding did become resolved due to the rising of another karmic condition. As an after-thought, I feel this really is a beneficial effect from listening to the dharma, so that I was able to hold up my correct thinking in this unfavorable situation and continue to learn and act according to the teaching!

Therefore, I am very grateful to the opportunity of encountering the true dharma of the Tathagata from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!

I am grateful to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the ten directions!

Building a Business with Integrity, Guided by the Teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

To many, I was seen as a capable entrepreneur—a “strong woman.” In the beginning, my husband and I ran an auto repair shop and later started a fuel technology company. Yet, as the saying goes, “business is like a battlefield,” and despite all efforts, we ended up losing money. Outwardly we appeared successful, but who could understand the pain within?

By karmic affinity, I encountered the Dharma and respectfully listened to the Dharma discourses of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Through deep study of the teachings in Learning From Buddha and What Is Cultivation, I was awakened. I realized the reasons behind my business failures: I had relied on cleverness and acted out of selfish interest, even using unscrupulous means to gain profits.

With the guidance of the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s teachings, my husband and I re-evaluated the meaning of doing business: first, to benefit ourselves by earning an honest living; second, to benefit others by helping people and giving back to society. These two goals are interconnected and equally important.

After studying the market, we turned to buying and selling second-hand cars. Initially, due to a lack of funds, we had to partner with others. However, our business partner believed in making profit from accident-damaged cars, thinking that as long as they looked repaired, customers wouldn’t know. He even said, “There are so many people in China. You can keep tricking them endlessly.”

Having learned the law of cause and effect from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, we firmly rejected this profit-above-all mindset. As the saying goes, “Those with different principles should not walk the same path.” So we parted ways.

Business became more difficult after that. In a world driven by greed, staying true to our principles became the biggest challenge—and a test of whether we could truly follow the teachings of a H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

With this change in conviction, our attention to detail also transformed:

Externally, in every transaction—regardless of profit— We take every car sale and purchase seriously, ensuring quality. We understood that every vehicle concerns a family’s safety, and thus, we bore a greater sense of responsibility. We explained all issues carefully, served customers sincerely, and aimed to help them find a truly reliable vehicle.

Internally, we cared about our employees. We never delayed wages. We rewarded those who aligned with our values and worked hard. We treated them like family, acknowledged their efforts, improved their working conditions, and helped them through life difficulties. We hoped they would see our business as their own home and their job as their own career.

After some time, we built a loyal customer base and finally emerged from hardship. I used to think doing business was extremely difficult. Now I feel it’s not hard at all. With dishonest methods, a business cannot last. But with integrity and good reputation, what challenge can’t be overcome?

Reflecting on my journey before and after learning the teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III filled me with deep emotion. People often say: “Money isn’t everything, but without money, nothing works.” Everyone loves money, but how can we earn it righteously? The answer lies in diligence and proper livelihood.

As the saying goes, “Great truths are often simple.” Guided by the principle of right livelihood, our business philosophy is rooted in “benefiting both ourselves and others”.

With this five-word principle, we saw not only our own needs but also the needs of others. This allowed us to empathize, serve customers and employees sincerely, and ultimately achieve mutual success.

Building a Business with Integrity, Guided by the Teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

The true dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the supreme and correct Buddha-dharma of the Tathagata that truly transforms lives. Many people have experienced profound changes in their minds, behavior, and destinies after encountering the true dharma. This is not just theory—it is the living truth that manifests in real life. I am one of those whose life was completely changed after learning the true dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. From a state of deep depression, anger, and hopelessness after losing my right arm in an accident, I found peace, purpose, and spiritual strength. My journey of 100,000 prostrations is a testimony to the power of this true dharma.

A Tragic Accident That Changed My Life

I was a factory worker in the past. In 1993, a co-worker needed to go home to help plant his family’s wheat crop. His leave request was denied by the shift leader, so I volunteered to cover for him.

From observing his work before, I thought I could handle it. In reality, it was not that simple. I was unskilled in operating the machine, and it unexpectedly pulled my right hand in. When I pulled my arm out, the flesh was gone, leaving only a long, bare bone.

At the hospital, the doctor told me I would need an amputation. My upper arm bone was fractured, but he said he could reconnect it. However, when I woke up from surgery, my right arm was only about 5–6 cm long.

The doctor had clearly told me before surgery that the amputation would only be limited to my hand. This felt completely unjust. I was furious—how could a doctor act this way? Where was the medical ethics?

A Life Consumed by Anger and Alcohol

I was devastated and ashamed. The company gave me a room, but I rarely went out. I felt too embarrassed to face people and kept asking myself, “Why do I have such bad luck?”

My marriage suffered. Whenever things didn’t go my way, I smashed bowls or chopsticks. I began drinking heavily—sometimes nearly finishing a bottle of white wine in a single morning. Alcohol made me lose my temper, pushing me closer to a mental breakdown. I lost all confidence in life.

The whole thing had started from helping a co-worker. How did that lead to me becoming disabled? How could the hospital treat me like this? Where was the justice in society? Even the Heavenly God seemed unfair.

A Turning Point: Encountering the True Dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

One day, my daughter said, “Father, I will take you to a Buddhist center. Go learn Buddhism. It will be good for you and for our family. Chant ‘Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!’”

I was puzzled. “Why chant that? I’ve only heard of Namo Amitabha Buddha. Who is H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III?”

From that day on, I went to the Buddhist center every day to listen to Dharma discourses.

I listened to teachings such as The Law of Cause and Effect and The Dharma to Cut Off the Twenty Worldly Emotions. Gradually, I began to understand the truth of cause and effect: the loss of my arm was not without reason. Whether in past lives or this life, I had harmed many living beings. This suffering was my karmic retribution.

Understanding and Repentance

Through continuous listening and learning, the hatred in my heart began to fade. I understood that when I took the lives of other living beings in the past, I caused them pain. Now, I was experiencing the results of my own actions.

Every day, I did prostrations and listened to the Dharma at the center. Eventually, I made a vow:

“Since I have understood the truth of the Law of Cause and Effect, I will repent to all the living beings I have killed or harmed. With utmost respect, in front of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, I will repent sincerely. I will complete 100,000 prostrations as an offering of repentance.”

In less than four months, I completed the 100,000 prostrations, despite having only one arm. As H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III (The Pope of Buddhism) teaches, only cultivation can transform the Law of Cause and Effect.

A New Life Through the True Dharma

I now understand that the retribution I am facing comes from causes I created in this and past lifetimes, even many eons ago. From now on, I will wholeheartedly follow and learn from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, cultivating myself diligently.

As long as I plant good causes, I will surely receive good results in the future. I am determined to follow the Buddha, practice the true dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and cultivate myself until I attain accomplishment.
