Whenever people speak of the healing vidya accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata, they cannot help but marvel at His extraordinary healing power. There was even a terminal-stage cancer patient who, under the empowerment of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, recovered miraculously and went on to live another twenty or thirty years—now as strong as ever.
Yet, to say that the healing vidya only refers to curing human diseases is an incomplete understanding. Healing illnesses is just a small aspect of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s vast realization in this field. According to the true teachings of the Buddha, such an understanding is only the narrow definition of healing vidya. The full scope, as expounded by the Buddha, refers to the ability to repair or restore anything that is broken or malfunctioning, whether it pertains to sentient beings or non-sentient objects.
Here, I would like to share two extraordinary incidents I personally witnessed, which reveal the profound and inconceivable realization of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
A Personal Vow
Before I recount these events, I must make a solemn statement. I vow that everything I am about to share is true and based on my direct personal experience. Nothing is fabricated. Some may dismiss vows as unnecessary, but only those who speak the truth dare to make such a vow. Otherwise, who would want to bring negative karmic retribution upon themselves for making false claims? Life is already full of suffering—why would I invite more? Many great virtuous ones in history, such as Zen Master Yongjia, made vows to affirm their sincerity. I now do the same:
If anything I state below is false or fabricated, I willingly accept all negative karmic consequences. If everything is true, may these stories inspire beings to seek the authentic Buddha-dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and pursue the path to liberation.
Incident One: The Calligraphy Restored
One day, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III created a poem in His signature calligraphy for each of ten faux jade plates. His Holiness’s calligraphy is truly exceptional—elegant, unworldly, and pure, reflecting His unique style and spiritual realization. Every piece was a masterpiece.
To have the calligraphy carved onto large wooden boxes housing the jade plates, I took the original works to Kinko’s to make enlarged copies. Kinko’s was the only place with machines capable of copying works up to four feet in size. Because the calligraphy was on delicate rice paper, I handled it with great care. Even so, while copying the third piece, disaster struck—the printer jammed, and the paper was mangled and torn, smeared with ink. I was devastated. Fearing more damage, I stopped copying and returned home.
Although it was already nighttime, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was just having His lunch. I brought the damaged piece to Him. After seeing it, He said calmly, “After I finish eating, I will heal it.”
True to His word, the Buddha Master cleaned and restored the damaged calligraphy. It looked flawless—completely whole, with no trace of damage or ink smears. I couldn’t understand how the ink stains vanished, especially since rice paper dissolves when it comes into contact with water. How could it have been cleaned and restored so perfectly? Yet, that’s exactly what happened.
Incident Two: The Broken Printer
The second incident took place in December 1998. A fellow disciple, Heng Sheng Rinpoche from Taiwan, had brought a cutting-edge Mitsubishi printer to Shenzhen. This machine could print A4-sized photos directly from a video camera and was the only one of its kind in Southeast Asia at the time. When it was first set up, it worked flawlessly, producing beautiful prints. I was the only person operating it.
Later, the printer began producing images with lines, color distortions, or patches—rendering the photos unusable. I must have unknowingly pressed something that changed the settings. I tried troubleshooting using the manual, but the problem persisted. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, upon seeing this, expressed disappointment. I tried everything I could but failed to restore the machine to working order.
We contacted Heng Sheng Rinpoche, who then arranged for a technician from the manufacturer to travel from Hong Kong. The technician was confident at first, but after hours of attempts, he was forced to admit defeat. He told us that since this was a brand-new model, the only solution would be to send it back to Japan for repairs. But we were in urgent need of the printer.
At that moment, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said, “Let’s check it.” His Holiness sat on a sofa beside the wall, while I sat on the floor next to the printer. Normally, His Holiness would not spend time on such tasks due to His busy schedule. He asked me to explain the machine’s functions and settings. Each photo required inputting four sets of complex numbers—more intricate than a safe combination.
His Holiness then gave me a sequence to try. It didn’t work. Then another—slightly better, but still had color lines. On the third attempt, the printer output a sheet that was completely black. To my surprise, the Buddha Master laughed joyfully and exclaimed, “Good! Good! It’s successful!”
I was confused. A black page? How was that a success?
Then H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III quickly gave me another set of numbers. I entered them. As soon as the photo began to print, I could already see vibrant, beautiful colors emerging. The final image was perfect—just like the first print we made when the machine was brand new.
Here’s the most astonishing part: The Hong Kong technician and I had both previously tried that same set of numbers without success. Why did it suddenly work under His Holiness’s instruction?
I remember the photo clearly—it was of Daxila Rinpoche, a Dharma King of the Kagyu Xueba lineage, and a highly accomplished master. I even wrote the numbers on the back of that photo as a record. The photo reproduced in this book was scanned from that very print.
I had hoped to take the printer with me when I left Shenzhen, but it was not possible. As the Buddha taught, “All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows.” Indeed, this experience left me with much to reflect upon.
Consider this:
- The machine was cutting-edge technology, just released.
- The manufacturer’s own technician could not repair it.
- H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III restored it in just three tries.
- He even foresaw success after a seemingly failed (black) printout.
This is not ordinary skill. This is a manifestation of supreme Buddha-dharma wisdom—mastery of both exoteric and esoteric Buddhism and unparalleled realization of the Five Vidyas. What else could it be?
