美国的南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆已於今天正式对外开放了，这是一个非常好的事情，世界上又增添了一处文化艺术馆，世界的文化艺术文明健康又增益了一份子，又能给大眾多带来一份美好的享受，该馆是南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆，属於永久性陈列南无多杰羌佛的部分成就。
但需要指出的是，很多人不了解情况，认为南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆是南无多杰羌佛个人的机构，这是非常错误的概念。正確的是，南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆是一个公益性、非营利的文化艺术机构，不是个人的、私人的艺术馆，这个机构用了南无多杰羌佛的名姓，但是，南无多杰羌佛既不是这个机构的发起人，也不是领导，也不是成员，不参与该馆的任何经营、管理等活动，南无多杰羌佛唯一所做的就是应该馆要求，无偿地捐出了很多艺术品供该馆陈列展出，为社会提供了善良美好的文化艺术宗教增益，因此，说一句非常世俗的话，南无多杰羌佛不仅没有通过该馆营利，而且所做均为义务捐赠分文未收，反而是赔本了，但这正体现了佛陀的本质——为了眾生的利益，牺牲自我的利益。
早在今年四月份，南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆开馆之前，南无多杰羌佛办公室代表南无羌佛和本办公室就与南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆签订了艺术作品陈列展示协议，裡面双方明確定约：所有这些艺术品均无偿提供给南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆长期永久性展示，南无多杰羌佛办公室与南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆是完全互相独立的机构，南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆非常清楚了解南无多杰羌佛及其办公室不参与南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆的任何经营、管理等事务，也不参与南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆的任何活动，乃至开馆当天，南无多杰羌佛也没有出席，协议中明定南无多杰羌佛办公室与南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆没有任何合作关係。南无多杰羌佛与南无多杰羌佛办公室一样，纯粹是对南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆对社会的善良美好作义务贡献，与南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆没有任何行政、工作、业务、经营、募捐、礼品部销售、人员等方面的关係。南无多杰羌佛文化艺术馆的任何一切活动，其权责利自负。

OFFICE OF H.H. DORJE CHANG BUDDHA III
(Announcement Number 43th) (06/07/2014)
Statement
The H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum in the United States formally opened to the publictoday. This is anextremely good thing. The world now has one more cultural and art museum. The world’s culture, art, civilization, and spiritual healthhas now been enhanced, and the public's opportunity to enjoy beauty has now been increased. This museum is the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum. It will permanently exhibit some of the accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
However, it must be pointed out that there are many people who do not understand the true situation. They think that the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum is a personal orprivate organization of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. This is an extremely erroneous understanding. The fact is that the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum is a public-benefit, non-profit cultural and art organization. It is not a private or personal art museum. The museum does use the name of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. However, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is not a founder, leader, or member of this organization. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III does not take part in any of the museum’s operations, management or other activities. The only thing H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III did for the museum is, in response to the museum’s request, donate for free many works of art for exhibition by the museum,benefiting society by adding to the goodness and beauty found in culture, art, and religion. Therefore, to put it in very worldly terms, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is not making any profit through the museum. Moreover,His Holiness the Buddha is not receiving any compensation whatsoever for all of His donations to the museum. Instead, His Holiness the Buddha has actually sustained an economic loss due to such donations. However, this demonstrates the essence of a Buddha— sacrificing His own interests in order to benefit living beings.
As early as April of this year before the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum opened, the Office of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III (this Office),on behalf of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and this Office, signed an agreement with the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum on exhibiting artwork at the museum. The agreementclearly stipulated the following:
• All the artwork will be provided free of charge to the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum for permanent exhibition;
• The Office of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum are two separate organizations completely independent of each other;
• The H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum clearly understands that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and this Office will not participate in any of the operational, managerial, and other affairs of the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum or any activities of the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum.
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III did not even attend the museum’s grand opening. The agreement also clearly states that there exists no cooperative relationship of any kind between the Office of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and the Office of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III are making voluntary contributions to the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum solely because the museum will promotegoodness and beauty in society. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and the Office of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III have no relationship with the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum in the areas of administration, work, operations, fund-raising, gift shop sales, personnel or any other kindof relationship. The H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural and Art Museum is solely responsiblefor its activities and the rights, duties, and interests related to those activities.
