When Images of Three Buddhas Appear, The Genuine Nature of Jade Will Come Forth

People regard jade as the treasure of all stones. Jade has the attributes of sleekness, brightness, firmness, non-deformation, colorful charm, steely strength, elegant beauty, and moistness. It has an air of unyielding integrity and is comforting to view. That is why jade is called the gemstone that represents purity and nobility. In particular, with the passage of time, jade looks purer and milder due to increased transparency. That is why jade is called the treasure of all gemstones. When offerings are made, jade is often offered as a symbol of loyalty.

This work of calligraphy was written by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in Chengdu, China in the year 1990. Its meaning is that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III would appear in this world in the future when images of three Buddhas appear in the world; that is, when the lineage chart of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha I, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha II, and H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III appears with their images.

The lineage chart of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is worshiped in many Buddhist temples and other Buddhist sites all over the world. When those three images appeared, the true Buddha-dharma was like the nature of jade – unchanging – and it emanated the highest and purest fragrance and charm, like those of an ancient orchid. The true primordial, ancient Buddha stands upright like a lone pine tree and expounds the ultimate truth of tathagata-garbha to benefit all living beings. This work of calligraphy translates as, “When images of three Buddhas appear, the genuine nature of jade will come forth. An ancient orchid points to the mind of an old pine tree.”

As predicted, the person formerly known as Master Wan affirmed by dharma kings, regent dharma kings, and great rinpoches of all major sects of Buddhism around the world, who wrote recognition certificates and corroborating congratulatory letters. This recognition of identity was indeed a grand event in Buddhism. The above-mentioned prediction made years ago in 1990 is truly wonderful beyond words.
