Dear Ms. Melissa, Esq.,<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You asked me what kind of strongman I am and how I became a strongman.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I participated in many strongman competitions all over the world and no one has matched my feats of strength. My records for my weight and age brackets in strength events have remains unbroken to this day.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I am a strongman. But I am also a reincarnated Rinpoche. When I was little, I was recognized by Kalu Lama, who bestowed upon me my Rinpoche name of Kanqian Wangzha Gongbo.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I really learned the authentic Buddha Dharma in 2002 under Buddha Master, Namo\u00a0Dorje Chang Buddha III. My Buddha Master had come to the United States from China and was then known as Vajradhara Great Dharma King Yeshe Norbu.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I humbly beseeched Buddha Master to take me as a disciple and Buddha Master held a refuge ceremony for me. I continued to go by the name of Nicholas Kanqian Wangzha Gongbo.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 From that time on I have cultivated and studied the real Buddha Dharma under\u00a0Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. The Buddha Dharma greatly altered the composition of my body, as well as my mind and spiritual state. My strength utterly changed.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III\u00a0is my Buddha Master to whom I owe the utmost gratitude.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You asked me how I trained to become the strongman that I am. I am able to teach the physical training involved in becoming a strongman. However, that alone will not enable you to reach my level. My strength also derives from the blessings of Buddha Dharma. I can only tell you this much, because the Buddha Dharma cannot be transmitted lightly.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Thank you for understanding.<\/p>

Best regards,
Nicholas Kanqian Wangzha Gongbo<\/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\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
