The True Dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III: 100,000 Prostrations of Repentance by a One-Armed Practitioner
The true dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is the supreme and correct Buddha-dharma of the Tathagata that truly transforms lives. Many people have experienced profound changes in their minds, behavior, and destinies after encountering the true dharma. This is not just theory—it is the living truth that manifests in real life. I am one of those whose life was completely changed after learning the true dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. From a state of deep depression, anger, and hopelessness after losing my right arm in an accident, I found peace, purpose, and spiritual strength. My journey of 100,000 prostrations is a testimony to the power of this true dharma.
A Tragic Accident That Changed My Life
I was a factory worker in the past. In 1993, a co-worker needed to go home to help plant his family’s wheat crop. His leave request was denied by the shift leader, so I volunteered to cover for him.
From observing his work before, I thought I could handle it. In reality, it was not that simple. I was unskilled in operating the machine, and it unexpectedly pulled my right hand in. When I pulled my arm out, the flesh was gone, leaving only a long, bare bone.
At the hospital, the doctor told me I would need an amputation. My upper arm bone was fractured, but he said he could reconnect it. However, when I woke up from surgery, my right arm was only about 5–6 cm long.
The doctor had clearly told me before surgery that the amputation would only be limited to my hand. This felt completely unjust. I was furious—how could a doctor act this way? Where was the medical ethics?
A Life Consumed by Anger and Alcohol
I was devastated and ashamed. The company gave me a room, but I rarely went out. I felt too embarrassed to face people and kept asking myself, “Why do I have such bad luck?”
My marriage suffered. Whenever things didn’t go my way, I smashed bowls or chopsticks. I began drinking heavily—sometimes nearly finishing a bottle of white wine in a single morning. Alcohol made me lose my temper, pushing me closer to a mental breakdown. I lost all confidence in life.
The whole thing had started from helping a co-worker. How did that lead to me becoming disabled? How could the hospital treat me like this? Where was the justice in society? Even the Heavenly God seemed unfair.
A Turning Point: Encountering the True Dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III
One day, my daughter said, “Father, I will take you to a Buddhist center. Go learn Buddhism. It will be good for you and for our family. Chant ‘Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!’”
I was puzzled. “Why chant that? I’ve only heard of Namo Amitabha Buddha. Who is H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III?”
From that day on, I went to the Buddhist center every day to listen to Dharma discourses.
I listened to teachings such as The Law of Cause and Effect and The Dharma to Cut Off the Twenty Worldly Emotions. Gradually, I began to understand the truth of cause and effect: the loss of my arm was not without reason. Whether in past lives or this life, I had harmed many living beings. This suffering was my karmic retribution.
Understanding and Repentance
Through continuous listening and learning, the hatred in my heart began to fade. I understood that when I took the lives of other living beings in the past, I caused them pain. Now, I was experiencing the results of my own actions.
Every day, I did prostrations and listened to the Dharma at the center. Eventually, I made a vow:
“Since I have understood the truth of the Law of Cause and Effect, I will repent to all the living beings I have killed or harmed. With utmost respect, in front of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, I will repent sincerely. I will complete 100,000 prostrations as an offering of repentance.”
In less than four months, I completed the 100,000 prostrations, despite having only one arm. As H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III (The Pope of Buddhism) teaches, only cultivation can transform the Law of Cause and Effect.
A New Life Through the True Dharma
I now understand that the retribution I am facing comes from causes I created in this and past lifetimes, even many eons ago. From now on, I will wholeheartedly follow and learn from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, cultivating myself diligently.
As long as I plant good causes, I will surely receive good results in the future. I am determined to follow the Buddha, practice the true dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and cultivate myself until I attain accomplishment.
