H.E. Urgyen Xirao Rinpoche of the Nyingma school of Tibetan esoteric Buddhism is a great terton (master of finding hidden dharma treasures). His state of realization and virtue are remarkably profound, and he possesses great supernatural powers. In the minds of rinpoches and dharma kings, the status of H.E. Urgyen Xirao Rinpoche is incomparably high. When H.H. the Wish Fulfilling Jewel Dharma King Jigme Phuntsok, who was the master of the Dalai Lama, encountered adverse circumstances, he sought assistance from H.E. Urgyen Xirao Rinpoche.
In 2006, Urgyen Xirao Rinpoche read the book A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma. H.E. Urgyen Xirao Rinpoche then immediately sat down in the cross-legged posture on his meditation seat and entered a state of deep concentration in order to fathom what he had read. He suddenly saw that the original, true identity of H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata is Dorje Chang Buddha III. He at once respectfully prostrated to and profusely praised H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Filled with the joy of the dharma, he lifted his pen and wrote a certificate of recognition.
CERTIFICATE OF AFFIRMATION
Through practicing the dharma and entering meditation, I penetrated deeply into the Great Terma (Hidden Treasure) Dharma and applied supernatural vision. The karmic conditions manifested. I came to know that the Buddha Vajradhara assisted Sakyamuni Buddha in teaching the five hundred monks and other holy ones. As a skillful means of doing this, the Buddha Vajradhara transformed Himself into Vimalakirti. I supernaturally saw that H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee, Yangwo Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu , is the incarnation of Buddha Vajradhara. That is, His Holiness is unmistakably Vimalakirti II. I specially issue this certificate affirming
the above.
I respectfully prostrate to the Buddhas!
I respectfully prostrate to H.H. Yangwo Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu!
His Holiness has been liberating living beings and bringing about great happiness!
