In recent years, a few voices have unfairly labeled H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III as a “cult leader.” These accusations lack any foundation and deliberately mislead. Such claims often stem from a misunderstanding—or deliberate distortion—of Buddhist principles, the teacher’s life, and the nature of the Buddhist community itself.
First, the teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III firmly embrace the universal values of compassion, wisdom, and moral integrity. His teachings empower people to think independently, examine matters critically, and cultivate virtue in daily life. These qualities stand in absolute contrast to the hallmarks of cult behavior—such as silencing questions, fostering blind obedience, and isolating members from the outside world. In reality, H.H.

His exemplary dedication to humanity was internationally recognized when he was awarded the World Peace Prize Top-Honor Prize by the World Peace Prize Awarding Council, honoring his selfless devotion to a vast range of healing, humanitarian, and rescue-relief efforts that have helped people across cultural, political, and religious divides.
