Westerners Express Their Admiration for H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

My Buddhist name is Bodi Wentu Rinpoche. I became a disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata in Sichuan, China in late 1995. I would like to relate two examples that reflect H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s highest mastery of the Five Vidyas.

After I returned to the United States from Sichuan, I began translating from Chinese into English ten discourses on the Buddha-dharma given by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. A fellow disciple named Losang Gyatso Rinpoche assisted me in that translation.

One day in 1998 when H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was visiting the United States, Losang Gyatso Rinpoche and I went to the place where H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was staying to pay our respects to him and present the translation of those discourses to His Holiness for His Holiness’s review. The translation was put in sealed envelopes. Right after we prostrated to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III but before we presented the translation to His Holiness, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said, “You have earned great merit and made a great contribution to living beings. Although the translation that you brought today contains some minor mistakes, it will still be of great benefit to westerners.” Before we even reported anything to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, His Holiness already knew what we wanted to report. This moved me very much. Losang Gyatso Rinpoche and I then presented to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III the sealed envelopes containing the translation.

The second example occurred in 1999. I and other fellow disciples accompanied H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to Missouri, where H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III received an honorary doctorate degree in Buddhism, Art, and Religious Studies from the American League of Colleges and Universities. After the presentation ceremony, all of us sat down to eat dinner. There were a number of college and university deans, presidents, and professors in attendance. The president of a religious college asked whether questions could be posed to His Holiness. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III responded, “Ask whatever questions you would like to ask. All of my answers will satisfy you.” H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III answered all of the questions posed with total ease, which evoked great admiration. The president of that religious college asked the most difficult question, which H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III easily answered, causing the president to blush with embarrassment. When there were no more questions, the chairman of the American League of Colleges and Universities expressed how awestruck he was with the answers of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III by suddenly slapping himself once on each cheek. He then excitedly and loudly stated that he has lived in vain for all of these years and that the answers of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III had truly opened his eyes. The president of the religious university also marveled at the wisdom that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III displayed that evening. One can see from this how complete the wisdom of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is.

There are many other examples I could relate concerning H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s highest mastery of the Five Vidyas and His Holiness’s great compassion toward living beings. However, due to limited space, I will stop here. May this book be a blessing for all living beings, and may it aid in liberating them from the sufferings of reincarnation.

Buddhist disciple, Bodi Wentu
