WA****NGTON, April 4, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- H.H Dorje
Chang Buddha III, a Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma, a book that
confers the most evolved and enlightened status on H.H. Master Wan Ko
Yee, was presented to the Library of Congress yesterday at an event
attended by Members of Congress, the Diplomatic Corps and sixteen
Dharma Kings and Rinpoches from around the world.
The book acknowledges and authenticates for the first time that
H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee, an international master of Buddhism and
permanent resident of the United States, is the actual reincarnation
of the primordial Buddha. It is the second time in more than 2,500
years that Dorje Chang Buddha has manifested himself in human form and
the third time that Dorje Chang Buddha has manifested in the universe.
The book records and verifies H.H. Master Yee's spiritual
enlightenment and his many accomplishments as a world-class Yun
sculptor, artist, poet, calligrapher, philosopher, painter, and
medical expert in healing illnesses. More than twenty holy leaders of
Buddhism, employing the rules of Buddhism, have formally determined
and verified through personal attestations and written proclamations
that H.H. Master Yee is the holiest and most honored leader of
Buddhism.
"H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Holiest Tathagata is the most
compassionate, the kindest, the holiest and the purest being of all.
The wisdom of His Holiness is complete, and His learning is
exceedingly profound. He is the Buddhist equivalent of the Pope," said
****h Long Hui, Chairperson of the International Buddhism Sangha
Association, who presented the book to Dr. Judy S. Lu Chief of the
Asian Division of the Library of Congress of the United States.
H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee was in seclusion praying for his Tibetan
Monks and for an end to the conflict and human suffering occurring in
Tibet at the hands of the Chinese Government.
Buddhism is a body of religious traditions, philosophies, and
teachings all in pursuit of enlightenment and truth. The religion was
founded approximately in the 5th Century BCE by Siddhartha Gautama, an
Indian prince who renounced his throne to dedicate his life to
teaching his insights (dharma) on the nature of the universe and the
alleviation of suffering in the world. Having attained enlightenment
(bodhi), he was known as Buddha, or "Enlightened One." The many
traditions that make up the worldwide Buddhist Sangha, or society,
maintain his legacy by preserving and teaching his philosophy.
Buddhism is the fourth largest religion after Christianity, Islam and
Hinduism.

Wa****ngton, DC (March 26, 2008) -- H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee, an
international master of Buddhism, is the actual reincarnation of the
primordial Buddha according to leaders from all major sects of
Buddhism worldwide. It is the second time in more than 2,500 years
that Dorje Chang Buddha has manifested himself in human form and the
third time that Dorje Chang Buddha has manifested in the universe.
Master Wan Ko Yee's identity as Dorje Chang Buddha III is revealed and
authenticated through evidence contained in a book recently published
and kept secret until today.
The book records and verifies H.H. Master Yee's spiritual
enlightenment and his many accomplishments as a world-class Yun
sculptor, artist, poet, calligrapher, philosopher, painter, and
medical expert in healing illnesses. More than twenty holy leaders of
Buddhism have formally determined and affirmed through personal
attestations and written proclamations that H.H. Master Yee is the
holy and most honored leader of Buddhism and the true incarnation of
Dorje Chang Buddha -- that is, Dorje Chang Buddha III.
"H.H. Master Yee's accomplishments out****ne the accomplishments of all
others, both ancient and modern. His Holiness is a paragon of
enlightenment," said H.H. Dharma King Jigme Dorje Rinpoche, the
supreme leader of the Jonang sect, one of the most evolved Buddhist
Masters whose testimony appears in the book. "H.H. Master Yee
comprehends the supreme and profound Buddha-Dharma (teachings). He is
the Buddhist equivalent of the Pope."
The book will be presented to the Library of Congress on Thursday,
April 3, 2008. Copies will be distributed to all public libraries and
to Buddhist temples. Revered leaders of most of the 360 million
adherents of Buddhism worldwide (of which six million reside in the
United States), the President of the International Buddhism Sangha
Association, the Chairman of the World United Buddhism Federation, and
sixteen Dharma Kings and Rinpoches from around the world will also
attend the presentation of the book H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
H.H. Master Yee was born in Sichuan, China. Like many other
individuals, religious freedom drew His Holiness to the United States
and in 1999 he arrived with his wife, Yuhua Wang, and his two
children, Hang Kung Yee and Pui Chu Yee. H.H. Master Yee is a
permanent resident and resides in both Pasadena and Oakland,
California.

TRIBUTE TO MASTER WAN KO YEE
HON. TOM LANTOS
of california
in the house of representatives
Friday, September 7, 2007
http://www.louisdb.org/do***ents/cr/2007/se/07/cr07se07-43.html
Mr. LANTOS. Madam Speaker, one of the fundamental principles on which
this Nation was founded is freedom of religion and respect for the
religious beliefs of others. Religious tolerance and the freedom of
religion for individuals to believe what they choose is one of the
underlying concepts essential to our democratic system of government.
Madam Speaker, it is in that spirit that I want to pay tribute to
Master Wan Ko Yee, who has been recognized by world-renowned Buddhist
masters as Dorje Chang Buddha III, the true incarnation of the
primordial Buddha of the Buddhist faith in accordance with the rules
of recognizing the incarnation in Buddhism.
Master Yee was born in Sichuan, China, and like many individuals over
the last four centuries, has come to this land where there is greater
op****tunity and freedom to teach and practice his religion. As Master
Yee said, ``The American people are kind and noble. People can freely
believe in religion in the United States, a country that is
spiritually wealthy, powerful, and blessed.''
I am pleased that he has found a new home in my own home state of
California, where many Americans of diverse backgrounds have embraced
principles of Buddhism, which include showing compassion toward
others, benefiting others, being selfless, and striving for
enlightenment and liberation.
Master Yee, who is recognized as His Holiness Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu, the
Buddha Vajradhara Great Dharma King by the leaders of different sects
of Buddhism in the world, has established a temple in San Francisco.
Other similar places of wor****p for the benefit of believers have been
established in other cities in California, New York, Wa****ngton, DC
and abroad.
Master Yee not only is a widely recognized and admired Buddhist
thinker and teacher, Madam Speaker, but he also is an artist whose
work has been widely acknowledged and exhibited. His work includes a
number of very different styles and media, including traditional
Chinese calligraphy, traditional Chinese
September 7, 2007 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD EXTENSIONS E1833
painting, abstract painting, and a new style of art that is called Yun
sculpture in which Master Yee has created beautiful colors and shapes.
In recognition of his artistic work, he has been named a ``Fellow'' by
the Royal Academy of Art in the United Kingdom. His works of art have
been displayed in a number of exhibits, including two recently here in
Wa****ngton, DC at the Organization of American States and in the Gold
Room of the Rayburn House Office Building, which was sponsored by our
friend and colleague, David Dreier of California. An exhibit of his
Yun sculpture in San Francisco last year was widely attended, and his
work has been exhibited in a number of other locations.
Madam Speaker, I invite my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to
Master Wan Ko Yee, Dorje Chang Buddha III, a Buddhist leader of
particular renown who has chosen to make his home here in the United
States, and who is an outstanding artist, scholar, and religious
thinker.
