H.E. Kaichu Rinpoche, an extremely loyal disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, cultivates himself with apure heart in accordance with the dharma. He was recognized by H.H. Dharma King Mohe as the reincarnation of a rinpoche. He truly cultivates himself and has true realization. In fact, his realization is the most successful among all rinpoches in the entire world today.
Within one hour from the time he received the “Xian Liang Great Perfection” State Practice Initiation from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, he attained the rainbow body state, enabling him to enter directly a Buddha-land state. He thereby attained realization and accomplishment in an unheard-of short time.
In order to manifest the dharma, Kaichu Rinpoche practiced the Corpse-Pose Tummo (Inner-Heat) Dharma in front of many people. The heat he generated in his body rose to 197.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Numerous dharma kings and rinpoches have been burned by the inner-heat he has generated. Among all dharma kings and rinpoches in the entire world today who practice tummo concentration dharma, Kaichu Rinpoche has generated the second highest inner-heat. The pre-eminent practitioner of tummo concentration dharma in the world today and the only one ahead of Kaichu Rinpoche is Mozhi Rinpoche, who is the highest disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

Additionally, through the Vajra Substitute Body Mediation, the crown of the head of Kaichu Rinpoche opened a width of more than two fingers. His consciousness can freely leave and enter his body. He has attained the state of non-attachment to anything and unification with the dharma realm.

The following is a sincere account written by H.E. Kaichu Rinpoche to convey his deepest admiration and gratitude to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD, ONLY H.H. DORJE CHANG BUDDHA III CAN TRANMIT THE XIAN LIANG GREAT PERFECTION DHARMA
I prostrate to H.H Dorje Chang Buddha III!
All Buddhist disciples know that the Longchen Nying-thik Great Perfection Dharma was the highest Buddha-dharma in this world. If one practices that Buddha-dharma well, one can attain the rainbow body in twelve years and thereby become liberated.
However, within one hour I entered a rainbow Buddha-land when H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III transmitted to me the highest and greatest dharma in the universe — the Xian Liang Great Perfection Dharma. I was so fortunate to receive that dharma. When one compares one hour with twelve years, one can see just how supreme and magnificent the Xian Liang Great Perfection Dharma is! H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has brought that Buddha-dharma to this world for the first time in the history of this world. Even Sakyamuni Buddha did not transmit that Buddha-dharma to any of His disciples. Great Bodhisattvas and patriarchs do not know that dharma and therefore are unable to transmit it.
I also personally experienced many inconceivable supernatural Buddha-dharma states when H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III transmitted to me other dharmas, such as when the crown of my head opened more than the width of two fingers, when my consciousness left and entered my body at will, when I experienced the other-empty exchange state, and when I experienced high- temperature tummo heat (internal heat). Only a true Buddha such as H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III possesses such Buddha-dharma, morality, and wisdom!
Therefore, only H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the highest refuge for all holy beings and all living beings!
The term “Zhuo Huo Ding” (Tummo Concentration 拙火定) is widely recognized in Tibet. Practicing this skill has the potential to alter body temperature, and when mastered, it is believed to eliminate all diseases within oneself. Moreover, adept practitioners can employ Zhuo Huo to heal others, and advanced individuals may even achieve the transformation of their bodies into light. However, finding individuals who have truly mastered this skill is rare nowadays. Notably, there have been recent reports of Tibetan yogis practicing Zhuo Huo in winter, gradually drying wet felt cloth draped over their bodies.
While many have heard about the dharma of Tummo Concentration, witnessing a genuine manifestation of Tummo power is exceptionally challenging. In contemporary Tibet, India, and other locations, numerous lamas engage in Tummo concentration. However, when they emerge from extended seclusion practices, only a few manage to demonstrably raise their body temperature. At most, they symbolically wear a wet blanket while moving around the temple. Those who attain this initial level are revered as holy and venerable, reflecting the gradual loss of tantric dharmas across generations.
Tummo concentration, as a high-class Buddha-dharma of meditation, is an essential practice for cultivating the life power of the body, mind-wind, and bright spot, leading to the accomplishment of a rainbow-light body. Regardless of the ailment, Tummo practice is believed to have the capacity to eliminate it entirely, making it the nemesis of the demon of illness. Positioned within the realm of supreme yoga, mastering this dharma combined with Vajra Body Substitution Meditation can elevate one to the rank of a Bodhisattva at the twelfth stage or higher.
Two types of Tummo concentration practices exist: Yoga Tummo from Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism and Corpse-Laying Tummo, regarded as the “King of Tummo.” The practitioner’s ability to raise body temperature correlates with their realization power, surpassing typical human body temperatures. The realization power evolves through four steps, from the Initial Warmth Step to the Delight at Extreme Temperature. Each step corresponds to an increase in body temperature and an augmentation of the practitioner’s healing abilities.
Comparisons between practitioners often highlight the mastery of Zhuo Huo, with some claiming attainment of high levels. However, when juxtaposed with the technique of the renowned Rinpoche Wangze, these claims fall short.
On October 15, 2009, five Buddhist masters of the Gelug school, including the 8th SongJi Rinpoche, Gamadega Gonglare Rinpoche, Yongdeng Gongbu Rinpoche, American Rinpoche Zhaxi Zhuoma, and the 16th Chongdi Rinpoche, received a “Zhuo Huo removal of obstacles blessing” from the highly respected Holy Master Wangze Rinpoche, in the United States. Wangze Rinpoche is a devoted disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. This blessing miraculously eliminated their illnesses and negative karma.
During the blessing ceremony, Rinpoche Wangze engaged in a sequence of actions with SongJi Rinpoche. First, he placed his palm in front of SongJi, making three deliberate motions of opening and closing his hand while instructing him to pay close attention. Subsequently, Rinpoche Wangze gently rested his palm on the top of SongJi’s head. Initially, SongJi perceived the touch as gentle and soft. However, within a few minutes, a sensation of heat began to radiate from his feet, gradually enveloping his back, neck, the back of his head, and culminating at the top of his head.
Suddenly, Rinpoche Wangze’s palm emitted an intense, fiery sensation at the crown of SongJi’s head, causing an unbearable pain within a mere two seconds. Describing the experience, SongJi expressed, “It was more agonizing than placing a red-hot iron on the top of my head.” In that brief span, a conspicuous red lump manifested on the crown, with certain areas burning through the skin and emitting black smoke. Simultaneously, SongJi experienced an extraordinary sense of physical and mental comfort. Several hours later, a yellow, crystal-like substance emerged at the site of the lump. According to insights from an elderly hidden yogi, this phenomenon is known as “merit honey,” a rare and auspicious occurrence indicating the elimination of impurities or karmic obstacles accumulated by Buddhists.

Following the release of merit honey, all existing ailments in SongJi Rinpoche’s body miraculously vanished. Kama Dege Gongla Rinpoche, belonging to the Kagyu sect, also underwent the Zhuo Huo Dispelling Obstacles Empowerment from Wangze Rinpoche. In a matter of seconds, a distinctive mark was burned into his philtrum. Yongdeng Gongbu Rinpoche bore a notable imprint on his forehead and between his eyebrows, outcomes of the empowerment. Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche, too, retained a Zhuo Huo mark on her throat, accompanied by the flow of black qi from the respective marks.
Tummo concentration, a very high level Buddha Dharma, has been known in Tibet for a long time. However, most of the descriptions on this subject are like a famous metaphor of a group of blind people touching different parts of an elephant. Each of them then gave a vivid description of what the elephant’s body was like based on where he touched. It is definitely not easy to see true manifestation of tummo. In Tibet and India, there are still many lamas who practice tummo concentration. However, when they walk out of the closed room at the end of the extended practice of three years and three months in seclusion, very few of them can actually raise the body temperature. The most that they were able to do is symbolically wear a wet blanket and walk around the temple. Anyone who attained the initial level of tummo is regarded as a holy one. This is just an indication that tantric dharmas are being lost from generation to generation.
Gadu Rinpoche, a disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, had the opportunity to receive the holy inner tantric initiation of the state practice dharma from The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation. Below is the true account of what he experienced.
One day, my Buddha Master instructed me to go to a place to meet a great holy virtuous one. Because this was a decision from my Buddha Master, the great holy virtuous one received me immediately (Because the great holy virtuous one does not permit me to reveal his identity, I can only address him as “the Great Holy Acharya” here). When I entered the mandala, I prostrated respectfully and then held my palms together to listen to the Great Holy Acharya’s decree and order. The Great Holy Acharya looked at me with benevolent eyes and said, “Buddha’s Disciple Gadu, I and dharma protectors have been observing you for quite a few years. Although your cultivation and conduct is not completely perfect and you still have a little violation, you have successfully attained the accomplishment of Niwan Daoguo. You can take a picture and you will see that. During the past several years, you carried out many Buddhist endeavors and accumulated a good amount of merit. I decided to conduct the initiation of the state practice dharma of the Body-Laying (Corpse-Pose) Tummo Concentration from The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation to transmit the Body-Laying (Corpse-Pose) Tummo Concentration Dharma to you. I hope that you can benefit more living beings after successfully practicing this dharma.” At that time, I couldn’t believe what I heard from my ears but it was true. It came from my countless times of incarnations to this Saha World since the many eons to save and transform living beings with my true bodhicitta of great compassion. I was able to receive this supreme profound great dharma also because of the correspondence of my three karmas of body, speech and mind to the Four Jewels of my Buddha Master, Buddhas, Dharma, and Sangha.
At the time of initiation, the Great Holy Acharya was far away from me and I was alone. I exposed my upper body and laid down on the green grass lawn. I formed the mudra with my hands and was chanting mantras and visualizing the seed figure of the Wind and Fire Wheel according to the steps of the dharma taught by the Great Holy Acharya. I concentrated my thinking on raising the temperature of tummo at the location of the tantric wheel. A short while after, the Wind and Fire Wheel started to rotate at the location of the tantric wheel. The fire of tummo began to rise. The temperature was rising very fast. I called out repeatedly, “The temperature is rising. It is scalding now. Scalding! Scalding! Scalding!” From inside to outside, the fire temperature of tummo was like that of a red-hot iron. Flame shot out from the tantric wheel. The scalding heat printed a seal of a dharma eye of the size of 1.5 cm on the skin around the tantric wheel. The Great Holy Acharya was about 10 meters away from me at that time. With a command of “Stop,” the temperature of tummo started to decrease immediately. At this moment, the dark karmas inside my body were let out by the temperature of tummo. My body instantly felt very cool and purified. I had a long-lasting feeling and lightness and easiness. The pain in my left shoulder disappeared immediately. The meridian channels within my whole body were relaxed all of a sudden. I felt that I became younger everywhere in me.
The Great Holy Acharya slowly walked closer to me. The Great Holy Acharya used dharma water to wash the spot of the tantric wheel on my body and at the same time examined the dharma eye formed by the ejection of tummo fire. The Great Holy Acharya benevolently spoke to me with a smile, “You have received the initiation and entered the true form of the Generation Stage.” Meanwhile, the Great Holy Acharya also reminded me a few things that I should pay attention to and then transmitted to me some important details for visualization in dharma practice and the secret mantra. In particular, I was instructed to follow the steps of putting concepts into practice, meditation practice, and concentration practice to practice the dharma expounded by H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III that includes the Vast Sea Mind Essence Dharma of the Root Mater, the Xiaman Magnificent Vast Sea Mind Essence Dharma, and the Most Magnificent Bodhi Vast Sea Mind Essence Dharma of the Dakinis. These are not hollow statements of talking about attaining Buddha-hood in the current lifetime without the actual accomplishment. They are the very precious dharma for attaining supreme enlightenment and, needless to say, can lead to accomplishment in the current lifetime.
I was listening to the discourse by the Great Holy Acharya while looking towards the sky with my eyes open. Suddenly, the events from my past experience emerged one by one before my eyes, as if I was watching a movie. Some were good and some were bad. They made me realize that the law of cause and effect never errs! From whatever causes I had planted, I harvested all corresponding consequences. My goal for coming to this Saha World is to benefit living beings and help them to attain Buddha-hood. I will treasure the remaining time in my current life to spend it well on benefiting living beings. After ending the causes and affinities of this lifetime, I am determined to come to this Saha World again to save living beings who have their affinities with me. Just as my vow of “As long as living beings are there, I will continue to perform the act of saving them.” Whenever living beings need, I will appear at their side!
Then I dressed and put on my dharma robe. I walked into the mandala and kneeled before the Great Holy Acharya with my palms together to listen respectfully to the Great Holy Acharya’s teaching. The Great Holy Acharya stood in front of me and discoursed, “Your inner mandala has been opened. Now I am going to open up your outer mandala. With that, the initiation of the Body-Laying (Corpse-Pose) Tummo Concentration Dharma on you will be very perfect. However, to avoid leaving a large dharma eye on your forehead, I will use a mild fire.” I immediately moved forward to kneel by the side of the Great Holy Acharya, with my eyes staring at the Great Holy Acharya’s palms.
When the Great Holy Acharya was chanting mantras and forming mudra, I felt as if I was kneeling by the feet of a very tall and cloud-reaching Buddha. Upon raising my head and looking up, I saw that a pair of solemn but benevolent eyes was watching me. Suddenly, the Great Holy Acharya lightly pressed right-hand middle finger at a point above my eyebrows. At first, it wasn’t hot at all. However, very quickly, a beam of flame-like intense and scalding heat was released. I responded right away, “Scalding! Scalding! Scalding!” The temperature of tummo rose very fast. This strong and scalding heat flow was led from the eyebrow wheel into the heart wheel and connected the fire seed at the tantric wheel to the entire body. However, there was nothing noticeable at the finger of the Great Holy Acharya. During this initiation of tummo, my body first endured a period of scalding heat but this was followed by a feeling of extremely cool and purified that filled up my entire body. Then, the Great Holy Acharya examined the dharma eye that became red-swollen due to receiving the tummo empowerment. It was right at the middle of my eyebrows.
The Great Holy Acharya discoursed with a smile, “The initiation of the Body-Laying (Corpse Pose) Tummo Holy Inner Tantric State Practice Dharma in The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation includes two steps. The first step is having the vajra acharya who possesses the master’s qualification at the upper level of enlightenment perform initiation for the disciple at a distance of between 10 to 16 meters (32.8-52.5 feet) away. This is for receiving the recognition by the yidam of that dharma to plant the seed of affinity. This step is for obtaining the power of the accumulation of good fortune. Then, within 15 days after that, the vajra acharya who possesses the master’s qualification at the upper level of enlightenment will perform tummo initiation and teach the dharma directly to the disciple at a close distance. This step belongs to obtaining the power of the accumulation of wisdom. Therefore, now both your inner mandala and outer mandala from the initiation of the Body-Laying (Corpse Pose) Tummo Concentration have been completed perfectly. You can go out and inform the rinpoches and dharma masters who are caring about and waiting for you outside about the happiness and joy that will come to living beings in the future.”
With limitless gratefulness in my mind, after prostrating to the Great Holy Acharya, I exited the mandala to report to the rinpoches and dharma masters who were waiting the successful completion of my initiation of the Body-Laying (Corpse Pose) Tummo Concentration. Fellow brothers were all very happy for me. All I heard was the continuous congratulations one after the other. At this time, I felt that I was even more insignificant. My fellow brothers not only did not have any jealousy on my receiving the initiation of the supreme profound Body-Laying (Corpse Pose) Tummo Concentration, they were as happy for me as they had received the initiation of this great dharma themselves. Wasn’t such spirit a manifestation of the holy love from the “exchange between self and others bodhicitta” from the bodhicitta of great compassion? I have limitless admiration for them!
My endless gratefulness cannot repay the blessing and empowerment from the Great Holy Acharya, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and Holy dharma protectors. I must cultivate and practice even more diligently to save and transform more sentient beings. Only that can requite a small portion of the initiation I received! The first thing I need to do is to study and cultivate according to the three dharmas of Mind Essences from The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation taught by the utmost supreme holiest Tathagata, my great Buddha Master!
Recently I have gotten a special pill from a Dharma Assembly at Hua Zang Si Temple in San Francisco. The pill was made through Buddha-dharma, and is capable of curing illnesses. And I was even more fortunate that I had a opportunity to watch a video about how these pills were made. The whole process was so incredible and astonishing.
There are two types of the healing pills. The one is made from conducting a dharma with the Medicine Buddha as the yidam and using the practice of tummo as the cause, it is called the Daba Buqiong Pill. Another kind made from a dharma with the Kuan Si Yin Bodhisattva, one of the five great Buddha Mothers, as the yidam is named the Kazhuo Ande Pill (also called the Black Jewel Medicine Pill). These pills are made by two types of methods, the highest or most magnificent way or worldly ways. In today’s Buddhism world, worldly ways are commonly used. The process is basically mixing all and only the required ingredients of medicine that are blessed by chanting the mantra of the dharma and then rubbing the mixture into pills. The magnificent inner tantric way of making these pills is completely different. The practice of tummo concentration must be used as the affinity of the dharma. The ingredients of the medicine are exactly the same. The blessing power of the pills is supreme and most magnificent. However, because of the loss of Buddha -dharma, the process of making these pills with the most magnificent (non-worldly) methods has almost become extinct.
The pills of Daba Buqiong and Kazhuo Ande made from the magnificent method are rare and hard to obtain. The first difficulty is that it is hard to find a true great virtuous one to conduct tummo concentration.
Many people have heard about the dharma of tummo concentration but it is extremely difficult to see a true manifestation of tummo power. Today, in Tibet, India and other places, there are still many lamas who practice tummo concentration. However, when they walk out of the closed room at the end of the extended practice in seclusion, very few of them can actually raise their body temperature. The most they were able to do is symbolically wear a wet blanket while walking around the temple. Those who attained such initial level are now called holy and venerable ones. This is just an indication that tantric dharmas are being lost from generation to generation.
Tummo concentration is a high-class Buddha-dharma of meditation. It is a rare holy dharma indispensable for cultivating the life power of the body, mind-wind and bright spot, and the accomplishment of a rainbow-light body. Regardless of what illness or disease one has, practicing tummo can eliminate it completely. Therefore, this dharma is the dead enemy of the demon of illness. Tummo concentration is a great dharma in the division of supreme yoga. The perfect accomplishment in the practice of this dharma combined with Vajra Body Substitution Meditation can lead to the accomplishment of becoming a Bodhisattva at the twelfth stage or higher.
There are two types of practices of tummo concentration. One is Yoga Tummo from Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism. The other is the Corpse-Laying Tummo regarded as “the King of Tummo.” When practicing tummo, the higher the body temperature can be raised to, the higher the realization power of the practitioner. The normal body temperature of humans is between 98.6°F and 99.5°F (37°C and 37.5°C). When the body temperature reaches a level between 104°F and 105.8°F (40°C and 41°C), one is regarded as having a high fever. A temperature above 41°C (about 106°F) can cause danger to one’s life. However, practitioners of tummo concentration can attain much higher temperatures than that.
The realization power from tummo concentration is defined by four steps. The first step is called the Initial Warmth Step. At this step, body temperature can be raised to between 115°F and 130°F but the ability of curing illnesses is not strong yet. The second step is the Joy of Heat from Meditation Step, with the body temperature raised to between 130°F and 150°F. The heat of tummo can be released at certain locations of the body to provide a relatively strong ability of curing illnesses. However, there are five illnesses that cannot be cured by this ability. Anyway, one will rarely become ill with the accomplishment at this step. The third step is the Step of Emptiness and Existence at High Temperature. The body temperature can be raised to between 150°F and 200°F. The heat of tummo can be distributed to any part of the body to heal illness by oneself, with the exception of two illnesses. The practitioner can collect the dark karma generated daily due to ignorance and burn it away with tummo. One can also move the heat of tummo outside of his body to cure illness and eliminate hindrance for other people or to subdue demons and evil spirits. The fourth step is the magnificent Delight at Extreme Temperature. The temperature will exceed 200°F and the heat of tummo will spread to the entire body. Master Milerapa used his realization power of this step to ignite his own body to attain the accomplishment of sambhogakaya, and nirmanakaya.
Although the true realization power of tummo is hard to find through the history of over one thousand years, fortunately Mozhi Rinpoches, a disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, is a great yoga master. He is the first-place master of tummo concentration in Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism. His body weight was reduced from 241.4 pounds (109.5 kg) to 124.6 pounds (56.5 kg) by practicing tummo concentration. He once practiced tummo concentration for seven months and three days, without eating and drinking. After that, all illnesses were eliminated.
The video I watched was the recording of The dharma assembly of making the pills of Kazhuo Ande. It was held at Los Angeles at year 2009. In the dharma assembly, Mozhi JiaoZun was the chief master to produce the heat of tummo. Other rinpoches would be his dharma-protecting assistants. He stated that the purpose of his coming here was not to compare his realization power with others and was not for making Kazhuo Ande pills. It was a coincidence that he met this cause. He regards it as his duty to do something for living beings.
A porcelain pot for frying the medicine was laid on his belly
At the dharma assembly, Mozhi Rinpoche lay on the dharma board and had his head covered up so people would not know who was practicing tummo concentration. This great holy virtuous one with true realization of power and abilities never wanted to boast or praise himself. Everyone attending the dharma assembly was greatly moved and felt ashamed by such holy and pure style of humble self-cultivation.
When the great holy virtuous one was conducting the dharma, a porcelain pot for frying the medicine was laid on his belly. The high-temperature heat of tummo was strong and vicious and directly penetrated the thick porcelain pot. Rinpoches who used a finger to test the temperature were all scalded badly. They had to throw the medicine powder into the pot and get away quickly to protect their fingers from getting injured.
At the dharma assembly of making pills with the magnificent method, the heat from the Body-Laying (Corpse Pose) Tummo Concentration scalded rinpoches’ fingers so that they were red and swollen. Some had frowning eyebrows and were sweating all over their heads. Some had blisters form on their fingers. Some had the color of the swollen finger turned into white or black colors. Some had their whole finger scalded red and unable to bend. Some even had their face scorched red by the high heat of tummo.

I could not help from making a heart-felt praise: the true power of Corpse-Laying Tummo Concentration from The Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberationis truly amazing!
