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、仰谔益西诺布大法王,被世界佛教各大教派的领袖或摄政王、大活佛行文认证,就是宇宙始祖报身佛多杰羌佛的第三世降世,佛号为第三世多杰羌佛,从此,人们就以“南无第三世多杰羌佛”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,但自释迦牟尼佛成佛以后,就改称“南无释迦牟尼佛”了,所以,我们现在称“南无第三世多杰羌佛”。尤其是,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。而且,第三世多杰羌佛也是政府法定的名字,以前的“义云高”和大师、总持大法王的尊称已经不存在了。但是,这个新闻是在南无第三世多杰羌佛佛号未公布之前刊登的,那时人们还不了解佛陀的真正身份,所以,为了尊重历史的真实,我们在新闻中仍然保留未法定第三世多杰羌佛称号前所用的名字,但大家要清楚,除H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的名字是合法的以外,在未法定之前的名字已经不存在了。

世界和平獎頒獎委員會和世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會聯合決議:南無第三世多杰羌佛退回世界佛教教皇冊封令和教皇權杖是無效的 

b92669ca9998[1].jpg

    早在2018年一月,世界和平獎頒獎委員會和世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會決議,冊封南無第三世多杰羌佛為世界佛教教皇,但南無第三世多杰羌佛拒絕接受。世界佛教總部為弘揚正法,利益眾生,接收了該冊封令和權杖。當世界佛教總部把世界佛教教皇的冊封令和教皇權杖,恭呈給南無第三世多杰羌佛時,南無第三世多杰羌佛說:釋迦牟尼佛在權杖端頭上莊嚴而坐,我們應該尊敬南無釋迦牟尼佛。然後高舉過頭頂,單手合掌以作恭敬之義。可是,南無第三世多杰羌佛表示祂只是一個慚愧的修行者,堅決不接受這個封授,當即就退回給了兩會。

    在今年9月23日,世界和平獎頒獎委員會和世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會,作出了最終的聯合決議,確定南無第三世多杰羌佛退回冊封令和教皇權杖的做法是無效的,南無第三世多杰羌佛從2018年1月31日起即正式升座世界佛教教皇!而且,世界佛教教皇只屬於南無第三世多杰羌佛,其他任何人不得使用,此為永久性不可更變的定論!

    世界佛教總部完全認同世界和平獎頒獎委員會和世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會的決議,和對南無第三世多杰羌佛作出的確切論斷!總部認定兩會作出的決議是十分正確的,是百分之百符合實際的,大家請詳見媒體報導中的兩會決議。

民众日报 中华民国九十二年六月十三日 星期五

【记者吕昆桦高雄报导】佛教弟子侯欲善于今年六月一日在美国洛杉矶家中结往生手印安详圆寂,享年七十三岁,其妻侯李庆秋亲眼见到释迦牟尼佛、阿弥陀佛、观世音菩萨来到天空接引她的先生往生极乐。侯欲善临终前谆告妻子今生必须跟随他的上师学佛修行。

侯欲善的妻子是加州执业中医师侯李庆秋,在侯欲善圆寂日,於宅中灵里前向前往该宅做法事的二十多位出家法师讲述了侯欲善的学佛及圆寂经过。侯欲善学佛多年,於四年前发现患肺癌,长期治疗痛苦不堪,一年半前,侯欲善夫妇到义云高国际文化基金会听闻义云高大师(H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛)的佛法开示法音带,当时十分震惊,想不到这个世界上有如此微妙之佛法。侯欲善听闻正法后,对义大师无限敬仰,一片赤诚,从此参加基金会共修,听闻义大师开示法音从不缺席。而且发心到基金会做全天的义工。

今年五月的浴佛节,侯欲善和侯李庆秋再度见到了义云高大师(H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛)。义大师问他这次想要求什么,侯欲善身患绝症,但他绝不为绝症病痛而有所求,他恭敬诚求其金刚上师义大师;「其他的我什么都不求,我只想求怎样能很稳当地往生极乐世界,这是我唯一心愿」,义大师告诉他,「既然是这样,那么你就要换一种修法了,要换成口唸「南无阿弥陀佛」,但最关键的是我要传授给你一个秘密的往生手印,你很快就会见到弥陀境界;这样佛菩萨就会接引你到极乐世界了」。

自从浴佛节得传弥陀大法以后,身为医师的侯李庆秋看见侯欲善头顶和背部,随时散放出黄色与红色组成的金色光芒,瑞气耀眼、吉祥无比,不像一个癌症病人!从此开始,身上所有癌症病痛没有任何痕迹,痛症消失、净肿消失,医院开的吗啡止痛针全用不上。

侯欲善告诉妻子,「我去了极乐世界」,侯李庆秋说,「你能例举极乐世界到底有多美吗?」,侯欲善表示,极乐世界的颜色是世间无法比拟的,至於景色比西湖清晨那种景色美多了,而且佛陀告诉他,七天后将会接他走,并且让他告诉世人,世上最好的佛法就在上师那里,要告诉世人好好地学习佛法。

六月一日清晨六点十五分,侯欲善脉搏减缓,呼吸也缓慢下来,其妻将侯欲善的病床摇起,两人一起不停唸诵「南无金刚上师!南无阿弥陀佛!」,侯欲善接起义云高大师(H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛)传授给他的秘密手印。这时,侯李庆秋突然听到天乐响起,侯欲善身体发出强盛的金光,她看见释迦牟尼、阿弥陀佛、观世音菩萨等出现在海边天空,佛菩萨的光芒与侯欲善的光芒融会在一起,五分钟后,佛菩萨消失了,侯欲善的脉搏、心跳也停止。

国际佛教总会主席、华藏寺住持隆慧导师不停的赞颂义大师的伟大,她说,经常看到癌症病人临终时的痛苦,尤其是肺癌,真是难以言状,连人都不认得了,哪里还能接手印念佛。而义大师所传授的净土念佛法门,能让一位癌症患者在不到一个月的时间让病痛消失,而由诸佛菩萨接引往生极乐世界,如此伟大的如来正法,岂是言语能够表述之。

世界日報 2020年9月26日報導:
世界和平獎頒獎委員會暨授稱委員會:
H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的世界佛教教皇冊封是無可變更的
   2020924日,世界和平獎頒獎委員會暨世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會主席Suzi Leggett女士來到世界佛教總部所屬的聖蹟寺,代表世界和平獎委員會和世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會作出終極宣布:H.H.第三世多杰羌佛退回佛教教皇的冊封令和教皇權杖是無效的,世界佛教教皇只能屬於H.H.第三世多杰羌佛任何人無權代替得了!

   早在2018年,世界和平獎頒獎委員會和世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會經過詳細考察評審,正式冊封H.H.第三世多杰羌佛為世界佛教教皇,冊封令和教皇權杖由時任兩會主席的韓明洙先生簽字頒授。但是,讓所有人跌破眼鏡的是,第三世多杰羌佛對“世界佛教教皇”這個崇高的地位和巨大的榮譽毫無感覺,沒有接受這個冊封,第三世多杰羌佛說:“佛教界有佛、菩薩、法王、活佛、法師、高僧大德、聖德的稱謂,不需要教皇,我是一個慚愧的修行者,擔當不了這個重任。”當世界佛教總部把接收到的冊封令和教皇權杖呈遞給H.H.第三世多杰羌佛以後,H.H.第三世多杰羌佛看到權杖上有南無釋迦牟尼佛的座像,當即把教皇權杖舉起,高過自己的頭頂,以表敬重娑婆佛教教主南無釋迦牟尼佛。可沒有想到,H.H.第三世多杰羌佛直接將冊封令和教皇權杖退回給了世界和平獎委員會和世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會。

   在本次的宣布中,Leggett主席說:“幾十年來,本會給裡根總統、印度聖雄甘地、拉賓總理以及很多國家的總統、總理頒授了世界和平獎,從沒有退回的先例, 凡是本會做出的決定並已經實施了的,是十分嚴肅認真的決定,絕不予以更改。……H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛教皇退回教皇權杖及冊封令的做法是不成立的,世界佛教教皇權座只屬於H.H.第三世多杰羌佛,其他任何人不得使用,此為永久性不可更變的定論!”由於H.H.第三世多杰羌佛還是拒絕接受,當場,Leggett主席將被H.H.第三世多杰羌佛退回的冊封令和教皇權杖,再次交給了世界佛教總部。

   莫知尊者代表世界佛教總部,接收了兩會冊封南無第三世多杰羌佛為世界佛教教皇的冊封令及教皇權杖,表態說:“世界佛教總部認為,兩會的決定是十分正確英明的!自南無釋迦牟尼佛報化以後,就沒有一位如佛陀一樣統領大眾佛教徒的最高領袖,但是,教皇權位必須是非單一佛教派別的領袖有資質擔當的,而唯一只有統攝整個佛教的領袖——佛陀。南無第三世多杰羌佛圓滿佛教教法,符合各派認證的佛陀標準,符合佛陀本質,符合佛陀內證覺量,僅憑佛陀本質拿杵上座,上超59段,就無人能達到此標準。南無羌佛符合佛陀德境,顯密圓通、妙諳五明等,全部符合圓滿,實屬佛陀覺量。此世界無有第二位佛教聖德具此資質,僅憑發願一生義務利生,不收供養,圓融無礙,就無有聖德可及。只有南無第三世多杰羌佛才能擔負佛教教皇這一崇聖無比的重擔,導正學佛正規的途徑。因此,世界佛教總部代表佛教徒們,非常感謝世界和平獎委員會和世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會最終做出的決定。”

   下面即是世界和平獎委員會和世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會主席Suzi Leggett宣讀的兩會聯合決議:

H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的世界佛教教皇冊封是無可更變的,本會拒絕退回冊封令

    當今世界佛教比較混亂,必須有一位絕對佛教領袖來統領指正方向,所有佛教徒都知道,真正世界佛教最高領袖,除了佛陀,任何大菩薩、大法王、大喇嘛、大法師,均不夠格位列世界佛教最高領袖權座。特別是,在當今整個佛教界裡面參差了許多非真實佛教性的偽假活佛、法師,致使整個世界的佛教陷入了混沌迷亂。

    對於傳統正規的佛教,也分密宗、顯宗、禪宗、淨土、大乘、小乘等等幾十個宗派,無論哪一個宗派多高的法王、大師也只能統領其自屬的宗派,而在自屬的宗派體系內,卻又混進了大量的偽假活佛、法師,不通經教,純屬外行,而冒稱高僧大德,因此,致使釋迦牟尼佛創下的正規佛教在不知不覺中摻入了非佛教、甚至邪說的教說,其主要原因是來源於當今沒有整個佛教的教主,沒有最高掌持正教、正法者。

    鑑於各宗派法王、祖師、大師均只能統領自屬的宗派,不具備此合格道行證量作為整個佛教的統領,而唯一只有佛陀身份是整個佛教統攝之皇,猶如上帝統攝天主教的一切,予以指導總綱教義。從釋迦牟尼佛史至今,世界上真正被所有各大教派認證的佛陀只有一位,就是 H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛,其由各大教派領袖、法王、攝政王、大活佛寫的認證書、附議賀函達一百多份,成為史無二人的認證壯舉,特別是其實質性的佛陀證量、五明高峰圓滿無缺,是整個佛教的第一人,無私德境受人愛敬,其佛陀的本質、體質,也只有H.H.第三世多杰羌佛教皇一人具備,世界上沒有第二位佛教高僧大德圓滿具備。

    「世界和平獎頒獎委員會」主席韓明洙與我,聯同「世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會」共同經過兩年的努力,在嚴格細緻審查後正式通過,作出了最終永久不更變性的決定,於2018131日正式頒發世界佛教教皇冊封令及教皇權杖予H.H.第三世多杰羌佛,從此,H.H.第三世多杰羌佛即正式升座世界佛教教皇權座。

    因此,「世界和平獎頒獎委員會」及「世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會」在20181月正式冊封世界佛教教皇為 H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛,但是,當時H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛教皇拒絕接受冊封接杖,其理由是:“佛教界有佛、菩薩、法王、活佛、法師、高僧大德、聖德的稱謂,不需要教皇,我是一個慚愧的修行者,擔當不了這個重任。”鑑於此,世界佛教總部代H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛接受冊封,領走了權杖。

    但是,H.H.第三世多杰羌佛將此冊封文及權杖退回「世界和平獎頒獎委員會」及「世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會」,「世界和平獎頒獎委員會」及「世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會」認為,H.H.第三世多杰羌佛退回世界佛教教皇冊封令及權杖是不合法度的,「世界和平獎頒獎委員會」及「世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會」已經是經過了認真嚴肅審查,決定冊封了的佛教教皇,絕不能不嚴謹而收回,這是兩會的決定,而不是H.H.第三世多杰羌佛個人自己能決定的。

    幾十年來,本會給裡根總統、印度聖雄甘地、拉賓總理以及很多國家的總統、總理頒授了世界和平獎,從沒有退回的先例, 凡是本會做出的決定並已經實施了的,是十分嚴肅認真的決定,絕不予以更改。故「世界和平獎頒獎委員會」及「世界和平獎宗教領袖授稱委員會」就此事作出終極聲明:H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛教皇退回教皇權杖及冊封令的做法是不成立的,世界佛教教皇權座只屬於H.H.第三世多杰羌佛其他任何人不得使用,此為永久性不可更變的定論!

    祝福世界佛教教皇H.H.第三世多杰羌佛正教興隆,利益世界!

The World Peace Prize Awarding Council Together With Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council: 
The Conferment of the Pope of Buddhism to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III is Unchangeable

On September 24, 2020, the Chairperson of both the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council Suzi Leggett announced the ultimate resolution of the two Councils at the Holy Miracles Temple of the World Buddhism Association Headquarters: “The return of the conferment decree and the Pope of Buddhism Scepter by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is not effectible. The title, status, and authority of the Pope of Buddhism belong only to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and cannot be exercised by anyone else.”

In 2018, after extensive vetting, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council officially conferred the title of Pope of Buddhism to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. The conferment decree and the Pope of Buddhism Scepter was signed and presented by the then Chairperson of the two Councils Han Min Su. Nonetheless, to everyone’s surprise, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha IIIwas totally unmoved by the noble status and tremendous honor that came with the Pope of Buddhism title, and did not accept the conferment. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said: “Within the field of Buddhism, there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. There are titles of Dharma kings, rinpoches, Dharma masters, eminent monastics, greatly virtuous persons, and Holy Gurus. There is no need for a Pope. I am a humble cultivator. I am not able to take on such a heavy responsibility.”

When the World Buddhism Association Headquarters presented the conferment decree and the Pope of Buddhism Scepter that they received to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, His Holiness the Buddha saw that there was a seated statuette of Namo Shakyamuni Buddha on the Scepter and immediately raised the Scepter above His own head to show respect to Namo Shakyamuni Buddha, the Lord of Buddhism of the saha world. No one would have anticipated that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III actually returned the conferment decree and Pope Scepter directly to the two Councils.

In today’s announcement, Chairperson Suzi Leggett said: “Over the past several decades, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council has presented the World Peace Prize to President Ronald Reagan, Hon. Mahatma Gandhi, H.E. Yitzhak Rabin, and presidents and prime ministers of other nations. There has never been a precedence of retraction. All determinations made and implemented by our Councils are very solemn, serious, and absolutely cannot be changed…The return of the conferment decree and Scepter of the Pope of Buddhism by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is deemed not effectible. The title, status, and authority of the Pope of Buddhism belong only to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and cannot be exercised by anyone else. This is a permanent and unalterable determination!” Despite the fact that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III still would not accept the conferment, Chairperson Leggett once again presented to the World Buddhism Association Headquarters the conferment decree and Pope Scepter that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III previously returned.

Venerable Mozhi Rinpoche represented the World Buddhism Association Headquarters to receive the conferment decree and Pope Scepter signifying the conferment of the title of Pope of Buddhism by the two Councils to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. He said, “The World Buddhism Association Headquarters considers the decision made by the two Councils to be a remarkably proper and sagacious. Ever since Namo Shakyamuni Buddha entered parinirvana, there has not been a supreme leader who has the authority to guide all Buddhists the same way that the Buddha did. However, the authoritative position of the Pope of Buddhism certainly is not a role that a leader of a single Buddhist sect would have the attributes to fulfill; rather, the Pope must be a leader who has authority over the entirety of Buddhism, namely, a Buddha. Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III holds the perfect teachings of Buddhism and meets the criteria used by all Buddhist sects to recognize a Buddha. His inherent nature is that of a Buddha, His unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment is that of a Buddha, and His state of virtue is that of a Buddha. Just based the accomplishment of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in Lifting the Pestle onto the Platform, surpassing His own base weight standard by 59 levels, no one can possibly match such a record. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III also has perfect mastery of Exoteric and Esoteric Buddhism, perfect accomplishments in the Five Vidyas, and so forth, all of which truly are attributes of the perfect enlightenment of a Buddha. No other Buddhist Holy Guru in this world possesses such qualities.

“Just by the facts that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III vowed to benefit living beings purely on a voluntary basis and does not accept any offerings throughout His entire life, and that He possesses perfect wisdom and unimpeded accomplishments, no other Holy Guru can be of comparison. Only Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III can take on this immensely noble, holy, and heavy responsibility of the Pope of Buddhism, to properly guide Buddhists onto the correct path of learning Buddhism. Therefore, on behalf of Buddhists, the World Buddhism Association Headquarters thanks the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leader Title Awarding Council for having made the ultimate decision.”

Below is the statement announced by Suzi Leggett, the Chairperson of the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council:

The Conferment of the Pope of Buddhism to 
His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III is Unchangeable,
The Return of the Conferment Decree is Deemed Not Effectible

The field of Buddhism in today’s world is rather chaotic, there need to be a preeminent Buddhist leader of authority to lead and correctly point Buddhists to the right direction. All Buddhists know that other than a Buddha, no great Bodhisattva, great Dharma king, great lama, or great Dharma master is qualified to hold the title and status of authority to be the world’s highest leader of Buddhism. In particular, the entire field of Buddhism has now been infiltrated by many fake rinpoches and fake Dharma masters who are not true Buddhists. As a result, Buddhism all over the world has fallen into a state of chaos and confusion.

Within the traditions and formal systems of Buddhism, there are several dozen sects, such as Esoteric, Exoteric, Zen, Pure Land, Mahayana, Theravada, and so forth. Regardless of how high the status of a Dharma king or a great master of any school may be, such a person can only lead their own school. Besides, each school of the sectarian system has also been infiltrated by a great number of fake rinpoches and fake Dharma masters. These people are amateurs who do not understand Buddhist teachings in the Sutras; yet they feign to be greatly virtuous people or eminent monastics. Thereupon, gradually and inconspicuously, evil and non-Buddhists teachings have been mixed into authentic Buddhism founded by Shakyamuni Buddha. This is mainly because there is currently no preeminent leader in the entirety of Buddhism. There is no supreme leader of authority to take hold of true Buddhist teachings and true Buddha Dharma.

Since a Dharma king, patriarch, or great master of any school can only lead their own school, none of them is eligible, either in virtue or realization power, to be the authoritative leader of the entirety of Buddhism. Only a Buddha can be the King of the entirety of Buddhism and the authority in all Buddhist teachings and principles, in the same way the God in Christianity has authority over the entirety of Catholicism. Ever since Buddhist history in this world began with Shakyamuni Buddha, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the only Buddha who has truly been recognized by all major sects of Buddhism. A total of more than 100 documents of recognitions, corroborations, and congratulations have been formally issued by Buddhist leaders, Dharma kings, regent Dharma kings and great rinpoches of all major sects. Such a feat of recognition has never been achieved by anyone else in the history of Buddhism.

In particular, the Pope of Buddhism H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the first person in Buddhism to possess substantive holy realization power of a Buddha and perfectly flawless accomplishments at the pinnacle of the Five Vidyas. His selfless state of virtue is revered by all. His Holiness the Pope of Buddhism is also the one and only who possesses the inherent nature and physical constitution of a Buddha that no other eminent Buddhist monastic or virtuous person in this world has so perfectly attained.

After the Chairpersons of the World Peace Prize Awarding Council Han Min Su and myself, as well as theWorld Peace Prize Religious Leader Title Awarding Council spent two years vigorously examining all evidences in great detail, we have formally made the ultimate, permanent, and irreversible determination that on January 31, 2018, the conferment decree and the Scepter of the Pope of Buddhism were to be presented to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. That date signified the official ascent of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to the authoritative throne of the Pope of Buddhism.

The World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council had officially conferred the title of the Pope of Buddhism to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in January 2018. However, at that time, the Pope of Buddhism H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III refused to accept the conferment decree and the Pope Scepter, stating His reasons being: “Within the field of Buddhism, there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. There are titles of Dharma kings, rinpoches, Dharma masters, eminent monastics, greatly virtuous persons, and Holy Gurus. There is no need for a Pope. I am a humble cultivator. I am not able to take on such a heavy responsibility.” In light of this, the World Buddhism Association Headquarters took the liberty to accept the conferment decree and the Pope Scepter for H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

However, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III returned the conferment decree and Pope Scepter to the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council. The two Councils deem the return of the conferment decree and Scepter to be unjustifiable. The conferring of the title of Pope of Buddhism was a determination reached by both Councils after serious and solemn vetting, and the conferment has already been implemented. Under no circumstances can we be so lacking in rigorousness to accept the return of the conferment. This decision has been made by the two Councils. This is not a decision for H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to make on his own.

Over the past several decades, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council has presented the World Peace Prize to President Ronald Reagan, Hon. Mahatma Gandhi, and H.E. Yitzhak Rabin, and presidents and prime ministers of other nations. There has never been a precedence of retraction. All determinations made and implemented by our Councils are very solemn, serious, and absolutely cannot be changed. Therefore, the World Peace Prize Awarding Council and the World Peace Prize Religious Leaders Title Awarding Council hereby issue our ultimate statement regarding this matter as follows: The return of the conferment decree and Scepter of the Pope of Buddhism by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is deemed not effectible. The title, status, and authority of the Pope of Buddhism belong only to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and cannot be exercised by anyone else. This is a permanent and unalterable determination!

We wish that under the Pope of Buddhism H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, true Buddhism will greatly flourish, and the world will be greatly benefitted!
