义云高大师
关于“第三世多杰羌佛”佛号的说明
二零零八年四月三日，由全球佛教出版社和世界法音出版社出版的《多杰羌佛第三世》记实一书在美国国会图书馆举行了庄严隆重的首发仪式，美国国会图书馆并正式收藏此书，自此人们才知道原来一直广受大家尊敬的义云高大师，被世界佛教各大教派的领袖或摄政王、大活佛行文认证，就是始祖佛多杰羌佛降世为第三世多杰羌佛，从此，人们就以“第三世多杰羌佛”来称呼了。这就犹如释迦牟尼佛未成佛前，其名号为悉达多太子，但自悉达多太子成佛以后，就称呼“南无释迦牟尼佛”了。二零一二年十二月十二日，美国国会参议院第614号决议正式以His Holiness来冠名第三世多杰羌佛（即H.H.第三世多杰羌佛），从此南无第三世多杰羌佛的称位已定性。同时，第三世多杰羌佛是政府法定的名字，如美国政府所发的护照、身份证、社安卡等所有的证件所用的名字就是“第三世多杰羌佛”，“第三世多杰羌佛”成了唯一的名字了，以前的“义云高”已经不存在了，没有法律效力，政府已经不认可了。
English Version
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, 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—before Sakyamuni Buddha attained Buddhahood, His name was Prince Siddhartha Gotama. Once Prince Siddhartha Gotama attained Buddhahood, He was thereafter addressed as “Namo Sakyamuni Buddha.”
On December 12, 2012, in the Senate Resolution No. 614 of the United States Congress, the title “His Holiness” was officially used with the name Dorje Chang Buddha III; the Buddha was addressed as “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.” Since then, the title H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was definitively affirmed.
“Dorje Chang Buddha III” 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 The previous name “Wan Ko Yee” is no longer valid, with no legal-binding effect, and no longer recognized by governments. “Dorje Chang Buddha III” is the only name in use.
