\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 On April 3, 2008, a solemn and dignified book-launching ceremony was held at the Library of Congress of the United States; on occasion of the first release of a fact-recording book entitled H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III<\/a><\/em>, jointly published by the World Buddhism Publishing LLC and the World Dharma Voice, Inc. At the same time, the book was formally accepted into the collection of the Library of Congress of the United States. From then on, people came to know that the widely respected Master Wan Ko Yee, the one who has been recognized and corroborated through official written documents issued by top leaders, regent dharma kings, and great rinpoches of major Buddhist sects throughout the world; actually, is the third incarnation of Dorje Chang Buddha, the primordial Buddha. Ever since, people address the Buddha by the name Dorje Chang Buddha III. This is similar to the precedent regarding the name of Sakyamuni Buddha\u2014before Sakyamuni Buddha attained Buddhahood, His name was Prince Siddhartha Gotama. Once Prince Siddhartha Gotama attained Buddhahood, He was thereafter addressed as \u201cNamo Sakyamuni Buddha.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 On December 12, 2012, in the Senate Resolution No. 614<\/a> of the United States Congress, the title \u201cHis Holiness\u201d was officially used with the name Dorje Chang Buddha III; the Buddha was addressed as \u201cH.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.\u201d Since then, the title H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was definitively affirmed.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cDorje Chang Buddha III\u201d is a statutory name; used in all official documents issued by the United States Government; such as passport, identity card, and social security documents. The previous name \u201cWan Ko Yee\u201d is no longer valid, with no legal-binding effect, and no longer recognized by governments. \u201cDorje Chang Buddha III\u201d is the only name in use.<\/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\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
