Dorje Chang Buddha III also descended wonderful nectar. A nectar bowl handed down to His Holiness was in that mandala. The nectar rain occurred at the time of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III\u2019s birthday. Lay and monastic disciples went to that mandala to wish His Holiness a happy birthday. A Kalachakra Vajra Lang Jiu Wang Dan (Namju Wangden) <em>thanka<\/em> (Tibetan scroll painting) was displayed for worship in that mandala. A <em>thanka<\/em> of the holy image of Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva was displayed for worship on that jacaranda tree. That jacaranda tree suddenly descended nectar, and an extraordinary fragrance filled the air. When people looked upward, they could not see a cloud in the sky. The weather had been continuously clear for at least half a month with not one drop of rain. The Buddha bestowed nectar from the jacaranda tree to celebrate the birthday of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Nectar fell continuously under the hot sun causing the ground to become wet. However, outside of the area of that jacaranda tree, the ground was dry as always, without a drop of rain. The nectar fell for seven consecutive days and nights.<\/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-241298f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"241298f\" 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-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3316e0ed\" data-id=\"3316e0ed\" 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-3751d09f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3751d09f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"387\" height=\"278\" src=\"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/118-e1696675578175.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-75242\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\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-3cf0cefd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3cf0cefd\" 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;\"><em>Monastic and lay disciples view the jacaranda tree descending nectar on a clear and cloudless day.<\/em><\/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<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-424c0572\" data-id=\"424c0572\" 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-155a38f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"155a38f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/119-e1696675600303.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-75243\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\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-3ede9a80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ede9a80\" 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;\"><em>Lay and monastic disciples take fragrant nectar water on the ground to moisten their face or to taste it.<\/em><\/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<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b27df44 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b27df44\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e74bb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4e74bb2\" 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><a href=\"https:\/\/cabuddhists.org\/en\/category\/the-treasure-book-h-h-dorje-chang-buddha-iii\/\">\u00ab The Treasure Book <em>H.H.
