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.

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!

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.

STATEMENT BY WORLD BUDDHISM ASSOCIATION HEADQUARTERS

In order that the public truly understands World Buddhism Association Headquarters and H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, World Buddhism Association Headquarters specially states the following: 1.  We at World Buddhism Association Headquarters will assume all legal liability for the veracity of this statement.  2.  H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is a true Buddha who has been recognized as such by leaders, regent dharma kings, and rinpoches of various Buddhist sects all over the world in accordance with the more than 1,000-year-old Buddhist recognition system. His Holiness the Buddha is also the only one in the history of Buddhism to have received such a large number of recognitions. The status recognized was not that of a rinpoche; rather, it was that of a Buddha. In Buddhism, no great Bodhisattva, great patriarch, or great dharma king is above a Buddha. A Buddha is the highest leader of all of Buddhism. Moreover, the accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in the Five Vidyas are foremost in the history of Buddhism. No prior holy ones have comparable accomplishments. Such accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III surpass the requirements prescribed by Namo Sakyamuni Buddha in the sutras. A Buddha does not have the perspective of a patriarch of a certain sect or school. Rather, a Buddha has the perspective of the entirety of Buddhism, just as Namo Sakyamuni Buddha had. A Buddha is the highest one upon whom all Buddhists rely and from whom all Buddhists learn! 3.  Previously, when H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was still in China, He was persecuted by some public security agents because He spread the teachings of Buddhism and upheld justice. As part of their persecution, Chinese public security agents embezzled a large number of paintings and calligraphic works created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Additionally, they fabricated a case of fraud against H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, making groundless assertions involving Liu Juan and Lau Pak Hun. They then reported that case to INTERPOL, seeking an arrest warrant against H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. However, after a detailed investigation by INTERPOL, the facts proved that the case reported by the Public Security Bureau in Shenzhen, Guangdong was fabricated and that in fact H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III had not committed any fraud, either in word or in deed. On such basis, at the 72nd Session of The Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files held in October of 2008, INTERPOL decided to cancel the arrest warrant against H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Also, during this time, China found out through investigation that the facts are that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III did not commit any crime. Therefore, on June 11, 2008, on its own initiative, China requested that INTERPOL withdrawal the arrest warrant against H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. On November 19, 2009, INTERPOL sent a special letter to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III explaining the entire process. For further details, please see the letter INTERPOL sent to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. 4.  With respect to the recognitions of the status of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, the letter from INTERPOL, evidence that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was persecuted, and other information, please go online to the website https://ibsahq.org/buddha-en. We at World Buddhism Association Headquarters take the teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and Namo Sakyamuni Buddha as our foundation, guiding Buddhists all over the world to learn and practice the Buddha-dharma so that they will become good people who are unselfish, benevolent, and law-abiding, who contribute to society and have happy family lives, and who eventually realize the true suchness of dharma-nature and attain liberation.
