There are four main types of flowers for offering to Buddhas: peony, orchid, sunflower, and lotus. Many other flowers, such as Chinese peony \u828d\u85e5, should not be offered to Buddhas. After Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, gave the Discourse, She blessed each disciple in the Mandala with a Vajra pill, then announced that she will bear dark karma for living beings.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 On the evening of January 4, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III summoned four types of disciples and told them: \u201cNow being the Dharma Ending Era, living beings\u2019 dark karmic forces are too heavy and getting worse. Fomu cannot bear them on Her own. This time, I am going to bear the dark karma together with Fomu for living beings. Therefore, starting tomorrow, I will go into seclusion to perform Dharma. During this period, I will no longer see you! As long as each of you cultivate yourself in accordance with the Dharma, you will attain liberation.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 After some days, when the disciple Tsemeng \u7fdf\u8292 rushed to Las Vegas to see if His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was well, the Buddha said to him: \u201cTsemeng, in the Dharma Ending Age, the dark karmic forces of living beings are too heavy. When I said I would bear dark karma for living beings, those were not empty words. To bear dark karma is not to enter dhy\u0101na, but rather, truly and continuously practice shifting the mind-consciousness to suffer on behalf of living beings. What Fomu and I said is what we do. At all times, we must think about bringing auspiciousness, serenity, happiness, and peace to living beings and to the world, to the extent of giving our all and even our lives. I have already brought true Buddha Dharma to this world. Everyone who practices in accordance with The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation and Imparting the Absolute Truth Through the Heart Sutra will surely attain liberation. That\u2019s all. I wish all living beings happiness.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 From then on, other than giving instructions to Dharma King Jinba \u91d1\u5df4\u6cd5\u738b and Dharma King Mohe \u6469\u8a36\u6cd5\u738b, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III did not impart Dharma openly. After almost a month of bearing dark karma for living beings, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, looked very sick. In the past few decades, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III had often borne dark karma for living beings, sometimes for a month or two, during which He looked seriously ill. Yet once His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III had completed that particular deed of bearing dark karma, He would immediately be full of energy as usual. One second, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III was a gravely ill patient, the next second, He would be strong and healthy without any sickness. That\u2019s why the close disciples have gotten used to that. However, this time, Buddhist disciples did not see His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III or Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, return to the human world. Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, have peacefully entered parinirvana and returned to the Sambhogakaya Buddha Land.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III, the supreme Primordial Sambhogakaya Buddha and the foremost master in the Dharma realm, came to this world to benefit living beings, and has now left this world as a result of benefitting living beings. All that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III did have always been for the sole purpose of benefitting living beings. His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III is always of holy purity! Always altruistic! Always selfless! All of us Buddhist disciples must be grateful to the supremely great compassion and empathy of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva. We must truly repent our sins and beseech Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu to return to this world!<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Among all Buddhas in the Dharma realm, Dorje Chang Buddha is the Primordial Buddha, the first Buddha with form, and the only Supreme Lord of Buddhism throughout the entire universe. Dorje Chang Buddha propagated Dharma throughout the universe, hence, all other Buddhas and Great Mahasattvas learned Dorje Chang Buddha\u2019s Dharma and cultivation to attain holy state and liberation, and eventually became Buddhas and Great Bodhisattvas. Dorje Chang Buddha is the primordial ancestor of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Samantabhadra, the Dharmakaya from which Dorje Chang Buddha perfectly manifested, is the Tathagata that has no form at all. The words and deeds of Dorje Chang Buddha are the compass and guiding principles of cultivation for all ordinary and holy beings in the universe.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 To help Shakyamuni Buddha, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha II \u2014Venerable Virmalakirti\u2014applied His supreme wisdom and limitless supernormal power to edify Hinayana Arhats who then advanced themselves and eventually became Mahayana Bodhisattvas who helped living beings attain liberation. And, innumerable living beings attained liberation by learning the teachings of Venerable Virmalakirti.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 After coming to the sah\u0101 world with the Buddha level enlightenment of the Primordial Sambhogakaya Buddha, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III established countless number one records in the world, every one of which was for the sake of benefiting living beings. At a very young age, He saved others without any regard to His own life and was honored with the title \u201cYoung Hero.\u201d As He grew older, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III applied His inherent Healing Vidya to heal the sick, purely on a voluntary basis. More than 500 patients used to seek His help every day. His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III never accepted one penny from them. Plaques and pennants with words of gratitude sent by the recovered piled up in the Buddha\u2019s house.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 As His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III continued to benefit living beings on a larger scale, the Central Newsreels and Documentary Studio of China produced a documentary, \u201cOne Who Is Dedicated to Advance Himself,\u201d about His life and work. The film was shown nationwide.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In 1987, the highly respected young His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was named Chairman of the Chinese Painting Research Association of the National Commission of China for UNESCO. Honorary chairpersons of the Association included Liao Jingdan \u5ed6\u4e95\u4e39, Li Wenqing \u674e\u6587\u6e05, L\u00fc Ji \u5442\u9a65, Yuan Xiaoyuan \u8881\u66c9\u5712, Wu Zhangshu \u5433\u4e08\u8700, Qian Juntao \u9322\u541b\u530b, Xie Zhiliu \u8b1d\u7a1a\u67f3, and others. Advisors to the Association included Luo Zhanglong \u7f85\u7ae0\u9f8d, Zhang Kejia \u81e7\u514b\u5bb6, and so forth.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In 1992, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was accorded the \u201cArt Maestro of the East\u201d title. In 1994, during the fourth conference of the World Poets and Culture Congress held in Hungary, 5,612 experts and scholars unanimously voted to confer the \u201cPreeminent Distinguished International Master\u201d title, which was a Head of State level honor, to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. The conferment certificate was signed by Juan Antonio Samaranch, the then President of the International Olympic Committee. In the same year, the Museum of Master Yi Yungao officially opened in Dayi \u5927\u9091, the hometown of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III in Sichuan. That was the first memorial museum in China, or even in the world, being built by a government for a living person.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In 1995, when His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III went from Mainland China to visit Taiwan for the first time, Taiwanese people spontaneously gave His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III an overwhelmingly ceremonious welcome. More than 20,000 people went to the airport to greet and pay respect to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. A motorcade of more than 1,700 cars followed the lead of police motorcycles to escort His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III from the airport to the hotel. That became the largest welcoming event in human history. Within the short three weeks that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III stayed in Taiwan, General Chiang Wei-kuo \u8523\u7def\u570b, former Secretary-General of the Taiwan National Security Council, and many other high level government officials formally requested to become disciples of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. They expressed that they wanted to truly emulate the noble morality, humanistic ethics, thoughts, and deeds of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 After His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III moved to the United States, His noble morality and unparalleled achievements won the love and admiration of the American people from all walks of life. In 2002, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was presented with the &#8220;Presidential Gold Medal&#8221; by the Commissioner to the President\u2019s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, on behalf of President Bush.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In 2003, the Organization of American States, composing of 34 countries including the United States, Canada, and Mexico, organized the Master Wan Ko Yee Yun Sculpture Exhibition in Washington D.C. at the Capitol of the United States. The Master Wan Ko Yee Yun Sculpture Exhibition was also held at the Congressional Office Building. That was the first time the U.S. Congress held an art exhibition in their Congressional Office Building. Visitors expressed their praises in the guest book, exclaiming that the exhibition was \u201cunprecedented,\u201d and that the artworks were \u201ctreasures brought to the human realm by God.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In 2004, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was named \u201cFellow\u201d of the Royal Academy of Arts in the U.K.. Professor Phillip King, President of the Royal Academicians of the Royal Academy of Arts, presented the certificate to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III at the British Embassy in Washington D.C., capital of the United States. The Cultural Attach\u00e9 of the British Embassy personally attended the ceremony. Professor Phillip King stated that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was the first artist ever accorded this title in their renowned academy\u2019s more than 200-year history.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The mayor of the U.S. capital Washington D.C. pronounced January 19, 2011 as \u201cHis Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III Day\u201d and called on people to salute to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was also accorded the \u201cKing Legacy Award for International Service &amp; Leadership\u201d by An International Salute to The Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Dozens of great honors have also been presented to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III by U.S. senators, members of the House of Representatives, governors, and governments of all levels.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 More remarkably exceptional, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III was awarded the 2010 World Peace Prize Top Honor Prize, presented to Him at the United States Congress on June 14, 2011 at the U.S. Capitol. On occasions of the holy birthday of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III, the U.S. Congress has held ceremonies to raise the national flag to celebrate, and President Trump and President Biden have sent personal congratulations.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In 2018, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leader Title Awarding Council resolved that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was the Pope of Buddhism of this world and decided to present the Pope of Buddhism Scepter to Him. Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, however, did not accept the Scepter, but returned it instead. In September 2020, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leader Title Awarding Council made a joint resolution that solemnly stated, \u201cThe title, status, and authority of the Pope of Buddhism belong only to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III and cannot be exercised by anyone else. This is a permanent and unalterable determination!\u201d The two Councils also entrusted the World Buddhism Association Headquarters to present the Pope of Buddhism Scepter on their behalf to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Upon coming to this world, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III immediately started teaching and saving living beings. He has always called Himself a \u201cnameless cultivator.\u201d His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III voluntarily served living beings and did not accept any offerings. One incident clearly shows how Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III taught and saved living beings selflessly. At the Heart Sutra Mandala on Xinhua West Road, Chengdu, Dharma Master Guozhang \u679c\u7ae0\u6cd5\u5e2b once recounted to some people that when he received initiation from His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III on Paoma Mountain \u8dd1\u99ac\u5c71, His Holiness the Buddha was only two and a half years old! After the identity of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III being the true incarnation of the Primordial Buddha was formally recognized by Dharma kings, regent Dharma kings, and great rinpoches of major Buddhist sects in written congratulations and corroboration letters, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III continued, as always, to teach and save living beings solely on a voluntary basis, and whole-heartedly devoted Himself to serving living beings. Whenever people made offerings to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III, whether they were big or small offerings, in amounts as little as one dollar or as large as a few million US dollars, in the form of 37 acres of land in the city of San Francisco, or even a planeload or a shipload of gold, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III categorically refused to accept. His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was whole-heartedly dedicated to serving living beings voluntarily.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In the many years that His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III was propagating Dharma to save living beings, He imparted more than 2,000 Dharma Discourses in response to living beings\u2019 levels and karmic conditions. Those Dharma Discourses were audio-recorded, and some of which such as What Is Cultivation \u4ec0\u9ebd\u53eb\u4fee\u884c, Sutra on Understanding and Realizing Definitive Truth \u4e86\u7fa9\u7d93, Imparting the Absolute Truth Through the Heart Sutra \u85c9\u5fc3\u7d93\u8aaa\u771f\u8ae6, and Learning from Buddha \u5b78\u4f5b, have been published into books. Not only did His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III reveal the truth about humanity and the universe, He also elucidated the truths relevant to various stages of practices, from elementary to profound accomplishment levels.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In restoring Buddhist texts to their original meaning, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III pointed out that the morning and evening chants used in Buddhist temples nowadays had been tampered with by the descendants of Mara, and those texts are filled with evil views and fallacies. Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III has corrected many errors made by patriarchs and translators in their interpretations of Dharma principles, and directly revealed the chaotic phenomena in Buddhism during this Dharma Ending Era. His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III pointed out the path that everyone who wants to attain liberation must take: That is to build our foundation on practicing cultivation. After cultivating ourselves well, we can then learn Dharma, and naturally attain liberation and accomplishment. The correct truths and Dharmas imparted by His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III enable listeners to develop their wisdom and good fortune, to help each other, care about each other, and be compassionate to all living beings.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In different countries, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III has performed great Dharmas including Holy Amrita Bestowed by Buddhas \u4f5b\u964d\u7518\u9732, Xianliang Great Perfection \u73fe\u91cf\u5927\u5713\u6eff, Holy Fire Offering \u52dd\u7fa9\u706b\u4f9b, Vajra Faman Determination by Holy Selection \u91d1\u525b\u6cd5\u66fc\u64c7\u6c7a, Hayagr\u012bva Raja Water Mandala Bead Divination \u99ac\u982d\u660e\u738b\u6c34\u58c7\u73e0\u5366, Determination by Holy Selection on the Regression or Progression on the Bodhi Path \u83e9\u63d0\u9053\u640d\u6e1b\u589e\u76ca\u6cd5, Guaranteed Delivery to Buddha Land Dharma \u4fdd\u9001\u6cd5, Vajra Array \u91d1\u525b\u9663, and Eight Wind Array \u516b\u98a8\u9663, all of which manifested authentic holy states, enabling living beings to see with their own eyes that Buddha Dharmas are scientific, have veritable power, and absolutely are not just empty talk or theory. More importantly, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III has brought The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation to living beings in the sah\u0101 world, showing humanity the shortcut to attaining liberation. The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation is the highest Dharma that Dorje Chang Buddha transmitted to Amitabha Buddha as well as Buddhas and Great Bodhisattvas in the ten directions during their cultivation stage.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III has made the biggest and highest vow in the entire Dharma realm, \u201cI bear all the sinful karma for living beings, I give living beings all the good karma and merit that I have planted.\u201d Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III has actualized the greatest and holiest vow, sacrificed His life to save the lives of numerous living beings, and returned to the Sambhogakaya Buddha Land!<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The unprecedented records established by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III in this world:<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III was, historically, the first Buddha to have received the largest, unprecedented number of status-recognition and congratulatory letters by top level great Dharma kings and rinpoches.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III was recognized with the highest status in history: an Ancient Buddha.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III is the first Ancient Buddha who manifested perfect mastery in Exoteric and Esoteric Buddhism, and perfection of the Five Vidyas. No one else has been able to accomplish the same in the past few thousand years.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III manifested Buddha-level wisdom in the creation of Yun Sculpture, which nobody has been able to replicate. Historically, this is the first art form that cannot be replicated.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III is the first Ancient Buddha throughout history who only benefited others but did not accept any offerings.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III is, historically, the first Ancient Buddha who manifested the most holy miracles.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III is, historically, the only Buddha who could offer the kind of Buddha Dharma that enables disciples to attain liberation within two hours: Xianliang Great Perfection, the quickest path to successfully enter the Buddha Land.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III had the largest number of disciples who attained accomplishments; for example: Dharma King Daxila of the Tsalpa Kagyu Sect attained the rainbow body; respected layperson Wang Lingze \u738b\u9748\u6fa4 and Dharma King Gar Tongstan attained freedom from death and rebirth and passed away in a sitting meditative pose; Dharma Master Puguan \u666e\u89c0\u6cd5\u5e2b and Elder Monk Wuming \u609f\u660e\u9577\u8001 attained incorruptible flesh bodies; the Elder Monk Yizhao \u610f\u662d\u8001\u548c\u5c1a vowed to return to the sah\u0101 world to save living beings; and many others.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III has transmitted Dharma to disciples and invoked Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to come at a specific time to take the disciple to the Buddha Land; even non-Buddhists saw with their own eyes when the disciple Zhao Yusheng \u8d99\u7389\u52dd was taken away by Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. Some disciples, such as Hou Yushan \u4faf\u6b32\u5584 and Lin Liu Hui-Hsiu \u6797\u5289\u60e0\u79c0, were able to visit the World of Ultimate Bliss, then return to the human world before ascending at a specific time to the Buddha Land. The above listed are just a few examples of the numerous Buddhist disciples who followed Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and attained liberation.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III possessed Buddha-level physical constitution and physical strength that are unmatched in the world. Just about a little more than a month ago, on December 23, 2021, at the Holy Miracles Temple, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III lifted the Supreme Holy Vajra Pestle that weighs 437.2 pounds, by using just four fingers to hook onto the Pestle, lifted it up, and held it for more than 13 seconds, surpassing His own base weight standard by 72 levels. Taizun Poshan Waxiang \u7834\u5c71\u74e6\u8c61\u592a\u5c0a asserted: \u201cIn this world, from the ancient past up to now, and even before Maitreya Bodhisattva attain Buddhahood, no ordinary or holy being will be able to lift the Buddha Pestle that Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III lifted, surpassing His own base weigh standard by 72 levels!\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The morality of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III is so noble, His accomplishments so great, and the holy miracles He performed so numerous that it is impossible for us to list them all. What was listed above was just a drop in the ocean. If we were to tell you about all the magnificent feats of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III, it would take more than ten days and ten nights. The magnificent greatness of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III is not limited to His well-respected humanistic ethics, His noble personality and morality, His erudition, His distinguished accomplishments, His selfless compassion toward humanity and all living beings, and His passion in teaching and actualizing the practice of Buddha Dharma. Through altruistic endeavors, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III truthfully, sincerely, and persistently actualized the principle of compassion, and He diligently worked toward the development of world peace. Many people are moved and motivated by His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. Many people in this world aspire to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III as their model, referencing His state of morality as their standard, and using His teachings as guidance to elevate their own morality and to benefit living beings. In doing so, not only have they fulfilled happiness in their lives, but many of them have ascended to the Buddha Land, attained freedom from death and rebirth, or attained even higher states of realization and accomplishments.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 More importantly, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III pointed out a bright path for humanity to stay far away from violence, a path that leads to benevolence and loving kindness, successful endeavors, happy families, peace in humanity, and prosperity in societies. Throughout different countries and regions in the world, more and more people of different ethnicities and cultures are actively learning and following the teachings of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III to cultivate themselves and benefit living beings. Consequently, they have greatly elevated the level of morality in society, advanced human civilization, motivating more and more people in this world to become good, kind, and ethical people, and enabling the world to become an auspicious and green planet. These are the tremendous and inexhaustible contributions that Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III has brought to all human and other sentient beings in this world, so they may increase their happiness.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang, was profoundly erudite. She was a top world-class art master who had been officially conferred with the \u201cInternational First Class Artist\u201d title and certificate. Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang was the Lifetime Honorary Chairwoman of the International Art Museum of America, and an all-rounded painter whose versatility has never been seen before in history. Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, stands at the summit of world-class artistry in both Western oil painting and Eastern ink painting and founded the Imagery-Naturalism painting style. The paintings of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, have been exhibited in the Gold Room at the United States Congress, in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Bangkok, as well as at the Palais du Louvre in Paris. Every one of Her exhibitions was overwhelmingly well received, sending shockwaves throughout the art world. Art critics and renowned painters from Europe and Asia acclaimed that every one of her paintings is the apex of art, at the Class of Ease, and an inspiration to future generations. The accomplishments in her water lily and lotus paintings \u201chave never been attained by anyone before and will inspire generations to come.\u201d In August 2021, the Art Who\u2019s Who Museum of Paintings in Dialogue organized the show \u201cClaude Monet and Yuhua Shouzhi Wang: An Exhibition of Water Lily Paintings in Dialogue\u201d in Southern California. Visitors were overwhelmingly enthusiastic; art collectors and critics acclaimed that Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang was indeed an International First Class Artist whose artistry is at the same level as great masters such as Da Vinci, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and Monet.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Fomu is a Great Mahasattva who is the perfect embodiment of great wisdom and compassion, noble morality, kindness, altruism, and selflessness. She always considers other people\u2019s well-being and is humble and very approachable. The compassion and kindness of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, are pure and flawless. For example, in 2015, someone sneaked into the International Art Museum of America in San Francisco and tried to steal an artwork that had been acclaimed by the World Federation of UNESCO (WFUCA). This person was arrested by the police on site and subsequently detained. Since the artwork that he tried to steal was one of Fomu\u2019s masterpieces, the court repeatedly requested Fomu to provide a valuation of the artwork, so that they could use her valuation to determine the term for sentencing. When Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, knew about this person\u2019s distress, She provided a statement saying that the artwork was rather ordinary and had no value. The court had no way of sentencing the person to any term and had to release him.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Another time, Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, saved a butterfly that had fallen into the water. Worried about the butterfly\u2019s safety, Fomu brought it home and kept it for a few days to make sure the butterfly is well-recovered before letting it fly away. Fomu relentlessly led disciples to conduct life-releases. She went every week to woodlands to feed ducks and birds and never missed a week. She paid for it with Her own money and never accepted offerings from Buddhist disciples. Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, is well known for Her diligence and thriftiness. For many decades, the noble Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, always cooked Her own meals and washed Her own clothes. She never entrusted others to do Her chores. She would save the food that She could not finish eating and finish it the next day or two. She was never wasteful. Usually, Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, would even save the water that She did not finish drinking, the water used for washing vegetables or hands, or wastewater from the filter and use it for irrigating flowers or flushing toilet. Through Her deeds, the Great Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, was teaching us how to start with the small things, cherish our good fortune, and actualize our cultivation practices. It is impossible to recount all the numerous exemplary deeds of Fomu.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Wherever Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, went, dragon Dharma protectors were present, and holy miracles manifested. When Fomu performed initiation and transmitted Dharma, holy states were manifested. For example, at the Antelope Valley, Fomu\u2019s hat turned into a black garuda. In New Jersey, the hair of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, suddenly went up and wrapped around a tall building in Manhattan on the opposite shore. In San Francisco, a twin Buddha light suddenly appeared, centered around where Fomu stood. All cultivators are touched by the compassion and morality of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasatva.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Now, for the sake of saving our lives and our happiness, Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, have sacrificed themselves and went to the Sambhogakaya Buddha Land. Great Holy Gurus have said: \u201cWhen learning from Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, we must not do any bad deeds, and do all kinds of good deeds. We must respectfully listen to the audio-recorded Dharma Discourses imparted by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III and use the teachings of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III to examine our every word and deed. We must actualize the teachings of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III by sincerely carrying them out in our practice. Only in this way can we become a good person of noble morality who compassionately benefits others. From there, we can then advance ourselves to become holy beings with attainment of liberation from death and rebirth. More importantly, we must pass on the teachings of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III from one generation to another, so that humanity in the sah\u0101 world can learn the Buddha Dharma taught by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III to serve other people, attain liberation, and eventually, everyone will attain liberation!<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, our Fundamental Guru!<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Shakyamuni Buddha, Lord of Buddhism of the Sah\u0101 World!<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo All Buddhas in the Ten Directions!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48db142 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48db142\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Office of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III<\/strong><br \/>February 6, 2022<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8a253c2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8a253c2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d600b11\" data-id=\"d600b11\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1e377d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b1e377d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhdcb3office.org\/pdf\/Information\/HHDCBIII_Office_No62_Announcement_e.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Office of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III Announcement No. 62 (02\/06\/2022) PDF<\/a><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhdcb3office.org\/html\/information\/announcement_no62_e_2022_02_09.html\">Office of His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III Announcement No. 62 (02\/06\/2022)<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 1, 2022, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III imparted a Dharma for living beings in His Vajra Mandala in Las Vegas on \u201cGreed Can Destroy One\u2019s Realizations,\u201d also titled \u201cGreed is the Foremost Culprit in Destroying One\u2019s Realization.\u201d After Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III imparted Dharma, Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, saw the flowers offered by disciples in the Mandala, then gave a short Discourse:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":73766,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[493],"tags":[227],"class_list":["post-25397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-office-of-h-h-dorje-chang-buddha-iii-announcement","tag-dorje-chang-buddha-iii"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25397"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25397\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77298,"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25397\/revisions\/77298"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
