华盛顿时报(2019年4月5日 )：世界佛教总部声明
Statement by World Buddhism Association Headquarters
In order that the public truly understands World Buddhism Association Headquarters and H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, World Buddhism Association Headquarters specially states the following:
1.We at World Buddhism Association Headquarters will assume all legal liability for the veracity of this statement.
2.H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the supreme world leader of Buddhism. Such a status is not self-investiture! The status of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III as a Buddha did not result merely from Buddhists calling Him that out of respect. Rather, in accordance with the Buddhist system of status-recognition that is more than 1,000 years old, such status was recognized by those Dharma kings, regent Dharma kings, and eminent monastics who have status-recognition authority within Buddhism. They include Dharma King Dodrupchen, who is the sole lineage-holder of the highest Rainbow-Body Accomplishment Dharma; Dharma King Penor, who was the third supreme world-leader of the Nyingma sect; Dharma King Achuk, who was the foremost monastic of great virtue in modern Tibet; Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji, who is the Yidam-Dharma Initiation Master of the 17th Karmapa; Dharma King Jigme Dorje, who is the supreme world-leader of the Jonang sect; Sleep Yoga Dharma King Mindrolling Trichen, who was a master of the Dalai Lama; Dharma King Trulshik, Dharma King Taklung Tsetul, and Dharma King Chogye Trichen, all three of whom were masters of the Dalai Lama; Dharma King Jigdal Dagchen Sakya, who is the supreme leader of the Sakya sect; Regent Dharma King Shamarpa, who was a master of the 17th Karmapa; Regent Dharma King and National Master Goshir Gyaltsab, who is the Sutra-Master of the 17th Karmapa; and others. These leaders are all publicly known in current Buddhist circles to be first-rate eminent monastics and people of great virtue from various Buddhist sects. All of them have individually issued an official document of recognition or corroboration to affirm the status of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. All such documents carry recognition authority according to Buddhism.
Because H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has received so many recognition and corroboration certificates, which total more than any leader, patriarch, or rinpoche in the history of Buddhism has received, we are unable to list here all them one by one. We invite all of you to go online to read the following website: https://ibsahq.org/buddha-data-en?id=162. Many of the Dharma kings not only issued a recognition or corroboration in writing, they also recorded their recognition or corroboration through photo or video.
According to the Buddhist system of status-recognition, as long as two people with recognition authority who are Dharma kings, rinpoches, or lamas recognize the status of someone, then the status of the person recognized is established. However, as history evolved, the statuses of many people were established in Buddhist circles after they were recognized by just one rinpoche with recognition authority. For example, the popularly known 14th Dalai Lama only received one recognition from one person, Reting Rinpoche V. The 17th Karmapa likewise only received two recognitions. Moreover, the one or two recognitions they received came from within their own sects.
However, with respect to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, the situation is completely different. His Holiness the Buddha has received over 100 recognitions and corroborations, making Him the first person in the entire history of Buddhism to have received such a large number of recognitions. Furthermore, those recognitions and corroborations did not come from just a single Buddhist sect. Rather, they were recognition documents written and issued by the top leaders of all of Buddhism and each of the major Buddhist sects. The status recognized was not the status of a rinpoche; rather, it was the status of a Buddha (Buddha Vajradhara), which is the highest holy being in the entirety of Buddhism. A Buddha is the highest leader of all of Buddhism.
3.The accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in the Five Vidyas are the highest in the history of Buddhism. Shakyamuni Buddha, the supreme leader of Buddhism in our Saha world, prescribed in the sutras that “Bodhisattvas must possess the Five Vidyas.” Since Bodhisattvas must possess the Five Vidyas, a Buddha must all the more be a champion in the Five Vidyas.
Perusing historical records, one finds that in the history of human civilization, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has been the only one who has reached the pinnacle of accomplishment in the Five Vidyas, whether in terms of worldly or transcendental accomplishments. His Holiness is the pre-eminent, tremendously holy one within Buddhism who truly meets the criteria of “perfect mastery of exoteric and esoteric Buddhism, and perfect accomplishments in the Five Vidyas” as prescribed by Shakyamuni Buddha!
The accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III are too numerous to mention and too exceptional to describe. From poetry, iambic verses, odes and songs, to calligraphy and writing, to medicine and healing, to paintings and sculptures, to science, technology, and craftsmanship, to the teachings and principles of the Buddhist scriptures, to the absolute truth of the Dharma, and to the intrinsic reality of all phenomena, His Holiness has unimpeded proficiency and wondrous excellence in all of these fields without exception. No other person in history can be found who is comparable.
With respect to the Craftsmanship Vidya alone, there has been for many years an open offer with huge reward money for anyone who can duplicate certain sculptures or the painting “Dragon-Carp Playing in a Lotus Pond,” all of which were created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. The reward is still being offered to this day, but no one has yet been able to reproduce such artworks through their own sculpting knife or painting brush! If you cannot duplicate it, you can ask someone else to attempt a successful duplication. If anyone is successful, we will admit right away that these were not the products of the enlightenment and wisdom of a Buddha!
Based on the real accomplishments mentioned above and the recognition and corroboration certificates that accord with the Buddhist system of recognition, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is a true Buddha. A Buddha is the original entity that all Buddhists take refuge in and learn from. The appellation of “Buddha” indicates one with the greatest and highest state of enlightenment in all of Buddhism. No patriarch or Dharma king within any sect of Buddhism is qualified to have a status above that of a Buddha! At present, in this world, there is only one Buddha who is the highest leader of Buddhism—H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. There is no other!
H.H.Dorje Chang Buddha III is inherently a Buddha. A Buddha is relied upon by all Buddhists as the one from whom they learn and receive teachings. Not only is His Holiness the Buddha the model that we at World Buddhism Association Headquarters follow and learn from, numerous other Buddhist organizations also rely on, follow, and learn from Him. Buddhists learn from the words of as well as the personal example set by His Holiness the Buddha. They have set up Dharma-listening centers to listen to and learn from the audio-recorded Dharma imparted by His Holiness the Buddha. Furthermore, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the only tremendously holy being in the history of Buddhism who does not accept any offerings but simply serves all people voluntarily.
4.Even though H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is an authentic Buddha, His point of view regarding His status has remained consistent. His Holiness the Buddha clearly expressed His attitude through His words that were published alongside the two contrasting photos showing the reversal of His appearance from old age to youthfulness. Which of those words carry the slightest element of self-boasting? H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said, “Although the title of Buddha has been legally affirmed in my name, the name Dorje Chang Buddha III means nothing to me. I am not a Bodhisattva, not an Arhat, not a venerable one, not a Dharma king, and not a rinpoche. I am not a holy person. I am one with a heart of humility.”
5.When H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was still living in China, because He propagated Buddhism and upheld justice and morality, He was persecuted by some people in the Chinese public security system. On August 1, 1999, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III came to the United States with a valid visa and subsequently settled down here. During the almost twenty years since then, His Holiness the Buddha has never returned to China even once. However, on June 20, 2002, the Chinese public security bureau in Shenzhen went so far as to groundlessly fabricate the allegation that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III “in April of 2000 in Shenzhen, sold a building to Liu Juan, defrauding Liu Juan out of RMB150 million.” They used this pretext to establish a case and started to persecute H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and some of His disciples.
Since H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was in the United States throughout the month of April 2000, how could He possibly have gone to Shenzhen to sell any building? On the contrary, it was some public security agents who bulldozed the only residence that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III had in China, without giving any compensation at all. Public security personnel took away more than 700 paintings and calligraphic works that were painstakingly created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. As of today, there is no trace of the whereabouts of those artworks. Public security agents also arrested some disciples of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, changed their names, and secretly incarcerated them.
Meanwhile, since those public security personnel were afraid that the truth would come out about their embezzlement of paintings and calligraphic works by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, they made use of certain news media that were under their control. The day before the case against disciples of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was to be heard in court, newspaper media were already spreading rumors that the trial resulted in a guilty verdict and were defaming H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and His disciples as being bad people who defraud others. The public security personnel went even further by requesting INTERPOL to issue warrants for the arrest of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and some of His disciples.
However, after conducting an investigation into the case, INTERPOL found that the details of the case provided by the Chinese public security bureau were not true and that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and His disciples did not commit any fraud. On such basis, between October 30-31, 2008, during the 72nd Session of The Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files held in Leon, France, INTERPOL reached the decision to cancel the arrest warrant against H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Also, during the time INTERPOL was investigating this case, China likewise found out through investigation that the facts are that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III did not commit any fraud or crime. Therefore, on June 11, 2008, on its own initiative, China requested that INTERPOL withdrawal the arrest warrant against H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. His Holiness the Buddha underwent thorough investigation by INTERPOL and was found not to have committed any crime. China requested the withdrawal of the arrest warrant. This clearly demonstrates how law-abiding H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is and how morally pure His conduct is. That is why He was found to be innocent of any crime or offense!
However, such a holy and pure person was not commended for this. On the contrary, a small number of people who do not understand the truth have assisted evildoers in defaming H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Does this kind of conduct have any morality to speak of? What kind of lowly character do such people have? Does this kind of news media have any credibility? Although the arrest warrant for H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was canceled a long time ago, those who embezzled paintings and calligraphic works of His Holiness the Buddha continue to circulate the cancelled, nulled arrest warrant on the internet and in newspapers to delude the public and prevent the case from being re-opened for investigation.
To minimize the likelihood of people being duped, an inquiry was made to INTERPOL through legal channels. In response to that inquiry, on November 19, 2009, INTERPOL specially issued a letter to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. The letter clearly states that China requested that the arrest warrant against H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III be cancelled and that such arrest warrant no longer exists. INTERPOL also notified all of its member countries that they cannot use this arrest warrant as a pretext to detain H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
Attached hereto is the official letter issued by INTERPOL. It must be clearly stated that this letter from INTERPOL uses the name Yungao Yi. Spelled according to the Pinyin transliteration system, this is the secular name that was used by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III more than twenty years ago while He was in China. Also, the lower-left corner of this letter from INPERPOL originally contained the residential address of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. For the sake of security and privacy, the address has been omitted. However, every other part of the entire letter is the identical copy of the original. Not even one word was altered.
This is the truth about the INTERPOL arrest warrant against H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III! We ask all of you to think about something—Is H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III a person of noble morality or a villain who has committed a crime? Additionally, multiple times over the past many years, the so-called victims in this fabricated case—Liu Juan and Lau Pak Hun—have separately written statements or held press conferences proving that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III not only never swindled them, He instead selflessly helped them. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is a good person who selflessly benefits the public.
6. With respect to the recognitions of the status of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, the letter from INTERPOL, evidence that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was persecuted, and other information, please go online to the website https://ibsahq.org/buddha-en. Just as we did in the past, we at World Buddhism Association Headquarters will take the teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and Namo Shakyamuni Buddha as our foundation and will guide Buddhists all over the world to learn and practice the Buddha Dharma so that they will become good people who are unselfish, benevolent, and law-abiding, who contribute to society and have happy family lives, who eventually realize the true suchness of Dharma-nature, and who attain liberation.

世界佛教总部声明
为了让大众真正地了解我们世界佛教总部和南无第三世多杰羌佛，世界佛教总部特声明如下：
第一，我们世界佛教总部对本声明的真实性，承担一切法律责任。
第二，南无第三世多杰羌佛是世界佛教最高领袖，不是自封的！南无第三世多杰羌佛的佛陀身份，不是佛教徒为了尊敬才称呼的，而是佛教中那些具有认证权的法王、摄政王、高僧们根据一千多年来佛教的认证制度认证出来的，如最高虹身成就法独掌人多珠钦法王、世界第三任宁玛巴总教主贝诺法王、当今西藏第一大德阿秋法王、十七世噶玛巴的本尊法灌顶上师公保·都穆曲吉法王、世界觉囊派总教主吉美多吉法王、达赖喇嘛的上师敏林赤钦睡梦法王、达赖喇嘛的三位上师楚西法王、达龙哲珠法王和秋吉崔钦法王、萨迦派总教主萨迦达钦法王、十七世噶玛巴的上师夏玛巴摄政王、十七世噶玛巴的经教上师嘉察摄政国师等等，这些都是当今世界上佛教界公认的各教派第一流的高僧大德，他们都分别为南无第三世多杰羌佛写下了具备佛教认证效力的认证、附议公函。由于南无第三世多杰羌佛获得的认证、附议证书太多，超过佛教史上任何领袖、祖师、活佛的认证，在此无法一一列举，请大家上网阅读：https://ibsahq.org/buddha-data?id=131。这些法王们的认证附议不光有文字，很多还拍了照片、录像记录下来了。根据佛教的认证制度，只要有两个具有认证权的法王、活佛或喇嘛认证以后，被认证的人的身份就确立了，但是，随着历史的演变，很多人只是被一个具有认证权的活佛认证，在佛教界就成立了，例如现在人们所熟知的第十四世达赖喇嘛，只是获得了五世热振活佛一个人的认证，第十七世噶玛巴也只获得了两个认证，而且都是在自己的教派中得到的一两份认证，但是，南无第三世多杰羌佛完全不是这样，羌佛获得的认证附议超过了一百个，成了整个佛教史上获得最多认证附议的第一人，而且不是单一教派的认证附议，而是整个佛教及各大教派首脑出具的以文字写成的认证附议书，被认证的身份不是活佛地位，而是佛陀（金刚总持），也就是整个佛教的最高圣者，佛陀就是整个佛教的最高领袖。
第三，南无第三世多杰羌佛的五明成就也是佛教史上第一，无有前圣可比的。我们娑婆世界的佛教教主释迦牟尼佛在经书中规定：“菩萨在五明中得”，菩萨必须具备五明，那佛陀更要五明之冠。翻开历史典籍，自人类有文明史以来，世出世间，唯有南无第三世多杰羌佛达到了五明成就的顶峰圆满，是真正符合佛陀规定的“显密圆通，五明完满”的佛教第一巨圣！羌佛的成就太多太高，从诗词歌赋、书法文论、医药治病、绘画雕塑、科技工巧，到经教理趣，法义真谛、诸法实相，无不通达无碍，精妙高绝，历史上找不到第二人可以比肩。就是一个工巧明雕塑和一张“龙鲤闹莲池”画，公开悬赏高额奖金很多年了，至今照常悬赏，但没有一个人能刀工手笔复制得了！你复制不了，可以请一个人去复制成功，那我们当下承认这不是佛陀觉量智慧的产物！基于上述实际的成就和依佛教制度的认证附议证书，南无第三世多杰羌佛是真正的佛陀，佛陀是所有佛教徒皈依和学习的本体，而佛陀这一称号是整个佛教中最大最高的觉位，佛教没有任何一个教派的祖师、法王能有资格在佛陀之上的地位！目前，在我们这个世界上，只有南无第三世多杰羌佛一位佛教最高领袖佛陀，没有第二位！由于本质是佛陀，而佛陀是所有佛教徒学习受教的依怙，并不仅仅是我们世界佛教总部依学的典范，而且是众多佛教机构依学的依怙，佛教徒们学佛陀的言传身教、办闻法点闻学佛陀的法音。而且，羌佛也是历史上唯一的一位不收任何供养、只义务为大众服务的佛教巨圣。
第四，尽管南无第三世多杰羌佛是真正的佛陀，但是，南无第三世多杰羌佛的观点却始终如一，祂在返老回春对比照上的讲话明文公布，表明了态度，哪一点有丝毫自吹？羌佛说：“虽然法定了佛陀称号为我的名字，我却是拥有虚名的第三世多杰羌佛，我不是菩萨，不是罗汉，不是尊者，不是法王，不是活佛，我不是圣人，是惭愧者。”
第五，当年，南无羌佛还在中国的时候，由于弘扬佛教、坚持正义和公理，而被中国公安的一些人所迫害。羌佛1999年8月1日持签证来到美国定居以后，近20年了，再也没有回过中国一次，可是，中国深圳公安竟然在2002年6月20日凭空捏造了羌佛“于2000年4月在深圳卖房子给刘娟，诈骗刘娟1.5亿元人民币”，以此为由立案，开始迫害南无第三世多杰羌佛和羌佛的一些弟子。要知道，2000年4月羌佛在美国，怎么去深圳卖房子呢？反而是公安用推土机推倒了羌佛在中国的唯一一所住房，没有赔偿一分钱，公安拿走了羌佛自己心血创作的书画七百余张，至今不见踪影，还抓了羌佛的一些弟子，将他们换了名字，秘密关押。同时，一些公安人员由于私吞了羌佛的书画，怕被暴露，利用他们控制的媒体，在法院还没有开庭的前一天就先行在媒体登报造谣定罪，诬蔑羌佛及其弟子是诈骗的坏人，并进而向国际刑警申请，对羌佛及其一些弟子发出通缉令。但是，国际刑警进行立案调查后，查出中国公安所所报案情不是事实，羌佛及其弟子没有任何诈骗行为，为此，在国际刑警文件控制委员会与2008年10月30日至31日在法国里昂举行的第72届大会上，通过了撤销对羌佛的通缉的决定。而在国际刑警调查期间，中国也调查出了事实的真相，羌佛没有诈骗等犯罪行为，因此中国在2008年6月11日主动请求国际刑警撤销对羌佛的通缉。对于南无第三世多杰羌佛，经得起国际刑警的立案详查而无犯罪，中国请求撤销通缉令，充分说明了羌佛是何等的遵纪守法、纯净道德的行为，才能清白无罪？！可是，这么圣洁的人，不但没有受到赞颂，反而受到个别不明真相的人帮着坏人诽谤，这样的行为还有道德可言吗？这是什么样低劣的人格？这样的媒体还有任何可信度吗？尽管对羌佛的通缉令早已撤销了，但那些贪得羌佛书画的人，照常把已经撤销、不存在的通缉令在网上、报上转发，迷惑民众，以防翻案。为了少让人上当受骗，通过法律途径向国际刑警咨询，故2009年11月19日，国际刑警专门发函给南无第三世多杰羌佛，说明中国已经请求撤销了针对羌佛的通缉，通缉令不存在了，并通知了国际刑警的所有成员国，不能以此通缉为借口留置第三世多杰羌佛。附件即是国际刑警的公函。需要说明的是，在国际刑警的这份公函上，仍然用的是Yungao Yi，这是第三世多杰羌佛二十多年前在中国的世俗名字的汉语拼音。同时，国际刑警公函的左下角原本是羌佛的住址，为了安全及隐私，在公布的时候特地隐去了，但整个公函的其它部分则是照原件复印，没有改动一个字符。这就是国际刑警对羌佛通缉令的真相！请大家想一想，羌佛是道德崇高的人呢，还是犯罪的坏人呢？而且，多年来，这个案件里所谓的受害人刘娟、刘百行二人分别多次写证明或开记者会证明南无第三世多杰羌佛不仅没有骗他们，反而是无私地帮助他们，羌佛是无私利益大众的好人。
第六，关于南无第三世多杰羌佛被认证，以及国际刑警的函件和羌佛被迫害的证据等更多资料，请上网查阅：https://ibsahq.org/buddha。世界佛教总部将一如既往地以南无第三世多杰羌佛和释迦牟尼佛的教导为根本，指导世界各地的佛教徒们通过修学佛法，让自己成为一个无私利他、遵纪守法、贡献社会、家庭幸福的好人，进而悟证法性真如，解脱成就。
世界佛教总部
国际刑警公函的左下角原本有南无第三世多杰羌佛的住址，为了安全及隐私，在这次公布的时候特地隐去了，但整个公函的其它部分则是照原件复印，没有改动一个字符。此中文翻译也没有翻译南无羌佛的住址。
