Congratulating Master Wan Ko Yee, a permanent resident of the United States, on the publication of his teachings and accomplishments in the book titled, “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III: A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma”.
Whereas approximately 6,000,000 of the more than 360,000,000 adherents of Buddhism worldwide reside in the United States;
Whereas Buddhist leaders have affirmed through written proclamation that Master Wan Ko Yee is both an honored leader of Buddhism and the true incarnation of Buddha on earth;
Whereas the book “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III: A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma”, published by the International Buddhism Sangha Association, presents testimonies, recognitions, and congratulations from great Dharma Kings and Rinpoches around the world who proclaim Master Wan Ko Yee as the Primordial Buddha, namely H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
Whereas copies of “H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III: A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma” have been presented to the Library of Congress and are being placed in Buddhist temples and public libraries in the United States as a reference book on Buddhism;
Whereas in October 2003, Congress honored Master Wan Ko Yee by hosting an exhibition of his Yun sculpture in the Capitol; and
Whereas Master Wan Ko Yee has for many years selflessly contributed to relieving the suffering of human beings, furthering world peace, and promoting spiritual enlightenment through his teachings of Buddhism: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes Master Wan Ko Yee as the true incarnation of the primordial Buddha, namely H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III; and
(2) commends him for his outstanding contributions to his community, his new country, his religion, and all human beings throughout the world.
United States Congresscongratulates and recognizes Master Wan Ko Yee, His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III, as the real incarnation of the Primordial Buddha (i.e. Buddha Vajradhara, Dorje Chang Buddha).
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.
