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[1] 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.”

The Organization of American States Is Composed of
Thirty0Four Countries, Including the United States and Canada. The Secretary
General of that Organization, Cesar Gaviria, Presided Over the Opening
Ceremony. Ambassadors from Various Countries and Members of the United States
Congress Attended
ON JULY 28th in the capital of the United States,
Washington D.C., the Organization of American States held the “Master Wan Ko
Yee (H.H. DorjeChang Buddha III) Yun
Sculpture Exhibition.” The Organization of American States is composed of 34
countries, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This exhibition was
mainly directed at ambassadors from various countries, as well as United States
senators and congresspersons. The former President of Columbia and the present
Secretary General of the Organization of American States, Cesar Gaviria,
personally presided over the exhibition. All of the attendees were astounded by
what they saw. They highly praised Master Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang
Buddha III) for
bringing to this world for the first time such incomparably beautiful Yun
sculptures. These sculptures surpass the beauty of natural creations and are
truly divine craftsmanship. For the first time in the history of mankind, a
form of art has appeared that is impossible to duplicate.
What everybody was earnestly hoping for happened. The Chief
of Protocol for the Organization of American States, Ana O’Brien, led into the
exhibition room Master Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) and the Secretary General of the Organization of
American States, Cesar Gaviria. The two of them were standing side by side Master
Yee’s (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) wife, Professor Wang Yu-Hua, and their son and
daughter, all walked into the room right behind Master Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang
Buddha III). A round of applause
immediately resounded throughout the room. The limelight began to rise and
fall. Reporters from all over the world began to congregate before the speaking
platform.
In its introduction, the Organization of American States
pointed out that Master Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III)
was born in China and now resides in the
United States. He is a distinguished researcher and university professor.
Master Wan Ko Yee’s (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) Yun sculpting is a form of art that he successfully
founded in the United States for the benefit of mankind. Through this
unprecedented form of art, Master Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III)
has created carvings that rival the
beauty of nature’s beauty.
The oval boulders that Master Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang
Buddha III) creates
have a hold inside them. Inside this hole is a mysterious and changing world
that is too beautiful to be absorbed at one time. Additionally, there is
auspicious mist circling upward. This is inexhaustibly wondrous mist. Master
Yee (H.H. Dorje
Chang Buddha III) is
the only person in history who has been able to create mist through his
carvings. Because of the Master’s (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III)
great sculpting skills, nobody in the
world today can duplicate his sculptures.
Viewing the Master’s (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) carvings gives one a feeling of relaxation and
happiness that is difficult to describe. The limestone caves in China’s Guangxi
Province, the Ludi caves, the Grand Canyon, and the limestone caves in
Columbia, cannot match with marvelous and exquisite Yun sculptures of Master
Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III). The seemingly ever-changing layers of scenes, the
splendid and majestic colors, and the natural-looking formations all make these
Yun sculptures more beautiful than the works of nature itself. No other
sculptures like them can be found in the world.
Master Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III)
was able to create these unique treasures
because of his high state of realization, profound and extensive knowledge, and
penetration of the laws of the universe governing birth, growth, and change of
all things.
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States
is selected from the presidents of the various member countries. The present
Secretary General, Cesar Gaviria, now leads the Organization of American
States. Because Master Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III)
has made a great contribution to the
field of art for the benefit of mankind, the Organization of American States
conducted this exhibition of the Master’s (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III)Yun sculptures in the nation’s capital,
Washington, D.C. The Secretary General of the Organization of American States,
Dr. Cesar Gaviria, presided over the opening ceremony. There were two main
categories of displayed items. The first category consisted of three Yun
sculptures entitled “Mysterious Mist Inside a Stone,” “Gao Shi Tu” (The State
of Realization of a Saint) and “Tang Huang Kuai shi Xi” (A Majestic and
Splendid Stone Suggestive of Poetry Song and Painting.) The second category
consisted of 26 photographs of Yun sculptures.
In his speech, Cesar Gaviria said that Master Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang
Buddha III) is
a distinguished Master of saintly wisdom, many world-renowned Masters who are
highly achieved in saintly wisdom have formally acknowledged him as their Master.
The Master (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) has reached great heights in areas such as
philosophy, science, etc. Because of the utmost proficiency, Master Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III) has
reached such a high state of realization in arts and brings such beauty for
mankind to appreciate. He has made great artistic contribution to mankind. They
are honored to have the opportunity to host Master Wan Ko Yee’s (H.H. Dorje ChangBuddha III) Yun
Sculpture Exhibition. On behalf of the Organization of American States, Dr.
Gaviria would like to thank Master Wan Ko Yee (H.H. Dorje Chang
Buddha III) for
honoring them with the Master’s (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III)
presence and sharing with them his
distinct and renowned sculpture.
The ambassador Marina Valere from the Republic of Trinidad
& Tobago praised the Master’s (H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III)
works, saying, “Dr. Yee’s (H.H. Dorje ChangBuddha III) exhibition was an almost
unrealistic experience. His inspiration must have come from a supreme force
which helped to guide that hand to create such almost indescribable works of
art. A marvelous experience!”
Some of the Honored guests who attended the exhibition
included Ambassador Carlos Holguin from Columbia, Ambassador Michael King from
Barbados, Ambassador Antoine from Grenada, and ambassador Chase from Paraguay.
Many ambassadors from various countries were enraptured by the sculptures on
display They walked back and forth in the exhibition room, continually uttering
words of praise.
Additionally, when United States Congressman Hanrahan walked
in front of the sculpture entitled “Tang Huang Kuai Shi Xi” (A Majestic and
Splendid Stone Suggestive of Poetry, Song and Painting), he continuously nodded
his head, saying to himself, “Amazing!”
The Chief of Protocol for the Organization of American
States, Ana O’Brien, said, “Stunning!”
The President of White House President’s Advisory Commission
on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, Dr. John Tsu said that it is the
superlative craftsmanship. It surpasses nature. Nobody can duplicate them. He
also said that after former President Bush saw Yun sculptures, he lavishly
praised them.
The Advisor of Prime Minister of Belize said that many
people have come here today. Each of them has praised the sculptures and was
amazed at them. I have not seen one person who did not praised them.
A great number of people attended the exhibition, and it was
a grand occasion. Many people surrounded the Yun sculptures on display and
uttered words of admiration. They said that the exhibition was too short and
that a longer exhibition should be held to give people around the world the
opportunity to appreciate such inexhaustibly beautiful carvings.
