关于“第三世多杰羌佛”佛号的说明
二零零八年四月三日，由全球佛教出版社和世界法音出版社出版的《多杰羌佛第三世》记实一書在美國國會圖書館舉行了莊嚴隆重的首發儀式，美國國會圖書館并正式收藏此書，自此人們才知道原來一直廣受大家尊敬的義雲高大師、仰谔益西诺布大法王，被世界佛教各大教派的领袖或摄政王、大活佛行文认证，就是宇宙始祖報身佛多杰羌佛的第三世降世，佛號為第三世多杰羌佛，從此，人们就以“南无第三世多杰羌佛”来称呼了。這就猶如释迦牟尼佛未成佛前，其名号为悉达多太子，但自释迦牟尼佛成佛以后，就改称“南无释迦牟尼佛”了，所以，我们现在称“南无第三世多杰羌佛”。尤其是，二零一二年十二月十二日，美國國會參議院第614號決議正式以His Holiness來冠名第三世多杰羌佛（即H.H.第三世多杰羌佛），从此南無第三世多杰羌佛的称位已定性。而且，第三世多杰羌佛也是政府法定的名字，以前的“義雲高”和大師、总持大法王的尊稱已經不存在了。但是，这个新闻是在南无第三世多杰羌佛佛号未公布之前刊登的，那时人们还不了解佛陀的真正身份，所以，為了尊重歷史的真實，我們在新聞中仍然保留未法定第三世多杰羌佛稱號前所用的名字，但大家要清楚，除H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的名字是合法的以外，在未法定之前的名字已经不存在了。
