美國國旗為H.H.第三世多杰羌佛升起

【美國加州訊】2010年獲得世界和平獎，2013年美國國會參議院一致決議確立世界和平獎的定性及其決定是正確的，認定H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的成就地位與對人類的貢獻，2018年 6月24日世界佛教總部在加州聖天湖舉行的『向第三世多杰羌佛祝壽』的法會上向數千名來自世界各國的佛教徒公開宣布了 5月15日美國首都在國會升起了美國國旗向所有佛教的最高領袖H.H.第三世多杰羌佛致敬的這一事。這項美國首都升旗祝壽的行動，讓世界各地的佛教徒廣知H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的偉大與至高無上。據了解，多位資深的美國國會參眾議員包括委員會主席與議長，還為此致文向H.H.第三世多杰羌佛祝賀。

H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛出席了世界佛教總部舉行的法會會場，祂在警察多重護衛著，從紅地毯走入池畔，與會七眾，夾道手持哈達跪迎，高呼南無第三世多杰羌佛佛號。法會期間，艷陽高照，雖然溫度居高不下，在華氏82度左右，竟然殊勝到了會場內外，不但不覺得熱，還有涼爽的感覺。世界佛教總部負責人莫知尊者在法會的開幕致詞中說：『我們要感謝我們偉大的美國，在五月十五日這一天，我們的美國首都升起了美國國旗，飄揚在空中，這是專門祝賀南無第三世多杰羌佛生日快樂！美國國會的升旗文說：『在H.H.第三世多杰羌佛生日的時候，這面美國國旗飄揚在國會的上空，向所有佛教的最高領袖第三世多杰羌佛致敬。』今天大家看到飄揚在空中的這面國旗，就是在華盛頓國會升起的那面國旗，送到了南無第三世多杰羌佛辦公室收的。』

數千人手執哈達虔誠跪地迎請，口中高呼南無第三世多杰羌佛。

莫知尊者向與會的數千佛教信眾介紹：法會眾人聚集所在的聖天湖畔是非常殊勝人吉地靈充滿祥瑞的壇城，他說：我們所站的位置下面是巨大的水晶湖泊，聖天湖的土地下面還有世界上從南到北，唯一兩條大河之一的暗河，實在祥瑞！這裡歡迎高僧大德們來建立佛教城的，這個佛教中心城會盡力發展類似於梵蒂岡，南無第三世多杰羌佛的住錫地”正法院“亦將在此建立，整個佛教城會修城牆圍起來，城牆內是佛教聖地，佛教城內是何等殊勝的世界佛教寶地，今後歡迎大家來到這裡，這裡將成為世界上唯一最莊嚴繁華的佛教中心城！莫知尊者還解釋，這塊殊勝的佛教寶地截至目前為止，只有世界佛教總部與聖天湖公司擁有土地，其他沒有任何一個個人或機構有任何土地。也有一些人，在聖天湖周邊抬高價錢購買房子，造成今後佛教城的修建成本增高，這種自私的行為不僅造成市價的膨脹，也破壞了正法。

莫知尊者說，我擔負著總部的工作，自然我就成了世界佛教總部為利大眾的修行人了。能為大眾服務，給他們帶來一些利益幸福，能為國家富強世界和平做一份貢獻，能為法界增添一名解脫者，這就是我的工作。莫知尊者致辭完畢跪地向南無第三世多杰羌佛頂禮，高呼請佛陀為佛弟子們說法，並祝美國昌盛興隆，萬事吉祥，祝與會佛弟子們各自的國家五穀豐登，風調雨順，大眾法喜充滿，福慧圓滿，早證菩提。Ｈ.Ｈ.第三世多杰羌佛登壇為眾說法，強調修行的重要，學佛的基本道理，並加持給與會者各一顆甘露丸，與過去所發的願ㄧ樣，只是無私利益大眾，不收分文供養，七眾弟子無不歡欣，法喜充滿，法會圓滿成功。

America's National Flag Is Raised for H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III ascended to the platform to expound the dharma for thousands of Buddhist disciples, emphasizing the importance of cultivating oneself.

LOS ANGELES, CA, July 14, 2018 / -- In 2010, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III received the World Peace Prize. In 2013, the Senate of the United States Congress unanimously passed a Senate Resolution affirming the nature of the World Peace Prize and the correctness of the decision to issue that prize. The resolution recognized the accomplishments and status of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. as well as the contributions His Holiness the Buddha has made to humanity.

On June 24, 2018, World Buddhism Association Headquarters held a "Celebrating the Birthday of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III" dharma assembly at Holy Heavenly Lake in California. During the assembly, it was publicly announced to thousands of Buddhists from all over the world that on May 15th, at the United States Capitol in the nation's capital, the American flag was raised to honor H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, the supreme leader of all of Buddhism.

The raising of the American flag in the United States capital to celebrate the birthday of the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III enabled Buddhists from all over the world to know the greatness and supreme status of His Holiness the Buddha. According to our understanding, a number of senior congressional members from both the House and the Senate, including heads of congressional committees and the Speaker, sent letters to congratulate H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III on the flag raising.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was present at the site of the dharma assembly held by World Buddhism Association Headquarters. Heavily guarded by the police force, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III walked onto the red carpet toward the lakeside. The seven types of Buddhist disciples attending the assembly knelt on both sides of the carpet, raising their khatas to welcome the Buddha as they loudly chanted "Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III."

During the dharma assembly, the sun shone brightly high above. The temperature remained as high as around 82 degrees Fahrenheit during the whole time. Yet miraculously, both inside and outside the pavilion, it did not feel hot at all; it even felt soothingly cool.

Venerable Mozhi, the person in charge of World Buddhism Association Headquarters, said during the opening address of the dharma assembly, "We should thank our great America. On May 15th, the American flag was raised at our United States Capitol building, where it waved in the wind. This was done to specially wish H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III a happy birthday. The congressional flag-raising document read, "This flag was flown in honor of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, Supreme Leader of all Buddhism, on the occasion of his birthday." The flag you see here fluttering in the wind is the flag that was raised on Capitol Hill in Washington DC and was delivered to and received by the Office of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

Venerable Mozhi gave an introduction to Holy Heavenly Lake to the thousands of Buddhists attending the dharma assembly, saying that the lakeside of Holy Heavenly Lake where the attendees were gathered is an extremely wonderful and remarkable mandala that is full of auspiciousness. He said, "Right below where we are standing now is a huge crystal lake. Under Holy Heavenly Lake, there is also an underground river, which is one of the two great rivers in the world that flows from south to north. This place is truly auspicious."

He went on to say that eminent monastics and people of great virtue are welcome to come and build Buddhist centers here. This city of Buddhist centers will be developed with the best effort, and it will be comparable in scale to the Vatican. The "True Dharma Temple," where H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III will reside, will also be built here. This entire Buddhist city will be surrounded by walls. Inside the walls will be a holy Buddhist land. The inside of this Buddhist city will be an extraordinarily wonderful Buddhist treasure-land of the world! In the future, everyone will be welcome to come to this place, which will be the most majestic, flourishing Buddhist center in the world. Venerable Mozhi also explained that as of now only Holy Heavenly Lake. LLC and World Buddhism Association Headquarters own land at the lakeside of Holy Heavenly Lake. No other individual or organization owns any such land. There are also some people who are intentionally paying much higher than the market price to buy real estate in the area surrounding the property of Holy Heavenly Lake. In doing so, they have caused the construction cost of this Buddhist city to go up. Not only is this kind of selfish conduct inflating the market price, it is also damaging to the true dharma.

The Venerable Mozhi continued to say, "I am responsible for the work of World Buddhism Association Headquarters. Naturally, I have become a cultivator at World Buddhism Association Headquarters to benefit the public. Serving the public and bringing benefits and happiness to living beings, contributing to the prosperity and strength of the country, contributing to world peace, and adding to the dharma realm one more liberated living being after another; that is my job."

After addressing the congregation, Venerable Mozhi knelt and prostrated to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. In a sonorous a voice, he beseeched His Holiness the Buddha to expound the dharma for all Buddhist disciples, He also said, "May our United States be prosperous and flourishing. May our United States be successful in all respects. I wish all of the countries from which each of you have come abundant harvest and favorable weather. I wish all of you great joy and benefits in the dharma. May you achieve perfect good fortune and wisdom, and soon realize enlightenment!"

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III ascended to the platform to expound the dharma to everyone, emphasizing the importance of cultivating oneself and the fundamental principles of learning from Buddha. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III also blessed the participants by giving each of them a holy nectar pill. Just as His Holiness the Buddha had vowed in the past, His Holiness the Buddha selflessly benefitted living beings and did not accept one cent of any offering. All seven types of Buddhist disciples rejoiced. Everyone was filled with joy from the dharma. The dharma assembly concluded in perfect success.
