In January, Buddhist communities worldwide observed H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Day, commemorating the occasion through ceremonies, acts of service, and educational programs. The observance reflected teachings that emphasize cultivation, moral integrity, and compassion, offering participants a chance to express reverence through meaningful action while fostering harmony within their communities.
To honor the Holy Birthday of Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, four Buddhist organizations — the World Buddhism Association Headquarters (WBAH), Holy Miracles Temple, Hongfa Temple, and Sanger Mission — jointly hosted a Dharma Assembly at the Grand Hall of Holy Miracles Temple in Pasadena. The ceremony was presided over by Dharma Master Jiaozun Zhengda, Vice President of WBAH. Hundreds of Buddhists from across multiple nations attended the Dharma Assembly.
On the morning of October 29, 2025, the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum hosted a life release event at the Marina Del Rey harbor, drawing spiritual leaders and community members from across Southern California.
Fellow Buddhists:
Regarding the arrangement of the “True Dharma Buddha Hall” mentioned in your letter, the Office of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Announcement No. 4 (June 6, 2009) and Announcement No. 15 (September 1, 2010) provide detailed and accurate explanations. We hope you will carefully read and truly understand them.
Buddhist disciples from all over the world have once again gathered here. We give thanks and pay respects to Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. We learn the “Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III Complete Sutra Collection,” which is the Dharma treasure that Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III bestowed upon humanity. We commemorate the Holy Birthday of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III annually. During this Dharma ending age, in which true Dharma diminishes, and evil forces prevail, it has been our tremendous good fortune to encounter the magnificent Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III, and learn the true Buddha Dharma that enable us to attain liberation from cyclical birth and death. Whatever questions arise in the course of learning from Buddha and practicing cultivation, we can find all the answers elucidated in the Dharmas expounded by Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. These Dharmas are available in audio recordings and in published books…
