There have been numerous talented artists throughout the history of Chinese painting. They have produced countless magnificent paintings that have contributed to the excellent Chinese culture. But most of the great artists throughout the ages have tended to specialize in one particular skill, style, or subject matter. Those who excelled at landscape painting were rarely proficient in flower and bird painting. Those who were proficient in flower and bird painting were rarely adept at figure painting; and so on and so forth. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, however, is proficient in all subject matters—whether landscape, flowers and birds, animals, fish, insects, or figures. With respect to artistic techniques, he has excelled at meticulous painting, freehand brushwork, splash-ink style, and many others. In all of these areas, His Holiness has demonstrated real traditional skills and originality.
These characteristics of His Holiness’s paintings have long ago been confirmed by art experts and collectors. In 2000, paintings by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III entitled “Majesty” and “Venerable Da Li Won” sold at an international auction for US$2,125,327 and US$2,207,912, respectively. At that time, those sales set new records for the highest priced painting of any living oriental artist in the world as well as the highest priced Chinese paintings ever sold at an auction. Various media reported on those two sales and praised H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III as a consummate artist who is unprecedented in the history of Chinese painting.
In his art, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has indeed assimilated the essence of traditional Chinese painting. Not only has His Holiness learned from the painting traditions of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty scholars, His Holiness has also easily mastered the grand and vigorous style of pre-Song Dynasty painting. Yet, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has not merely emulated the techniques of any one painter or any one school. His Holiness has learned from ancient artistry and has also learned from nature. Combining the two, His Holiness has created a novel and unique style of his own. From a careful examination of paintings by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, it is not difficult to see the legacy of tradition and the spirit of originality.

H.H.第三世多傑羌佛對書畫藝術有著莊嚴的態度。雖然他畫了一萬多幅畫，但他幾乎把所有的畫都燒掉了。只要 H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛對他畫的一幅畫不滿意，他一定會把它燒掉。他曾多次公開燒毀他的畫作，包括那些已經裝裱好的畫作。這是一個對藝術有責任感的人的不同尋常的行為。經調查，目前世界上現存的第三世多杰羌佛真跡僅存197幅。儘管如此，美國國際藝術博物館在收藏和展示的第三世多杰羌佛真跡畫作的種類和數量上，也是舉世無雙的。但是，我們博物館仍然沒有收藏第十六種畫作”。我們博物館在其他十五種繪畫風格中的一小部分也有些不足。此外，作為佛教歷史上天生的佛教最高領袖，第三世多杰羌佛忙於利益眾生、行佛事，無暇作畫。此外，H.H.第三世多杰羌佛拒絕接受美國國際藝術博物館向其購買其作品的請求。
