Monk Minh Tue plays his final card, "all or nothing", what does the government say?

Recently, the noise surrounding Mr. Thich Minh Tue's alms-begging has received much attention from the public. Most recently, he has continued to take action related to this issue.

Accordingly, on November 17, Mr. Thich Minh Tue (birth name: Le Anh Tu) issued a handwritten notice stating that he would stop begging for alms. Although handwritten, this notice had the confirmation stamp of Phat Tam Thien Dinh Tue Company Limited.

As usual, Mr. Minh Tue continued to call himself "son" in the new announcement. He said that he had made a vow to study and practice according to the true Dharma of Buddha Shakyamuni, but due to complicated social conditions and political security, it was not suitable for studying the practice of alms-giving. Therefore, he emphasized that alms-giving should only be practiced when conditions are right, ensuring traffic safety, social safety, political security, and not gathering in large numbers to go begging or walking.

Also in the announcement, Thich Minh Tue affirmed that going on alms round does not require people to follow and protect, nor stand on both sides of the road to welcome and shout because it is both noisy and not in accordance with the Dharma. Therefore, he decided to temporarily not go on alms round if this situation continues.

Master Minh Tue also hopes that when people respect Buddha, respect Dharma, and respect Sangha, they must gather in large numbers in the right place and in accordance with reality, conditions, and circumstances. If that is the case, it will be very happy and wonderful. I hope everyone will help.

According to Thanh Nien newspaper, recently, when Mr. Thich Minh Tue returned to his hometown to practice, begging for alms every day near his place of practice, many people in Gia Lai and other provinces came to witnes.s him begging for alms, to see with their own eyes and pay respect. This led to the security and order being affected. Perhaps that is why Mr. Tue announced to stop begging for alms.

Regarding this announcement, Tuoi Tre newspaper contacted the local authorities where Mr. Minh Tue resides. According to the local authority representative, up to now, the People's Committee of Ia To commune, Ia Grai district, has not received any written notice from monk Thich Minh Tue about the above matter.

Before the decision of monk Minh Tue, people also began to discuss enthusiastically. Many people expressed that the seal proved that he was an employee of the company, so why would he become a monk? However, there were also opinions that he was manipulated by someone and still wanted to go begging.

"Mr. Minh Tue issued a notice with the company's seal, proving that he is a legal entity in the company. So what is there to give up?"; "So is he an employee of this company? But this company wrote the notice and put a red seal on it. Or is he the company's director?"; "Why did he become a monk and set up a company?"; "You can tell he was taken advantage of, but his main idea is to walk but no one follows him"; "There are too many people trying to sabotage him, how can he walk?"; "That's good, leave the monk alone. Whoever goes around distorting things will have to bear the consequences themselves"... are comments from netizens.

Thich Minh Tue was born in 1981 in Ky Van commune, Ky Anh district, Ha Tinh province, and registered his permanent residence at village 6, Ia To commune, Ia Grai district, Gia Lai province. From 2017 to 2023, he practiced self-cultivation and alms-seeking, walking from the South to the North and vice versa 3 times.

During that process, Mr. Minh Tue's travel and practice of his vows went smoothly, without any difficulties or obstacles, and without affecting security and order. 2024 was the fourth time he walked from Khanh Hoa, along the main road to Cao Bang - Ha Giang and then returned.

When he arrived in the Central region, a large crowd gathered to follow him, affecting security and order. After meeting and discussing with the state agency, Mr. Minh Tue clearly understood his rights and obligations as a citizen and voluntarily stopped walking for alms. He is currently staying at his permanent residence in village 6 of Ia To commune (Ia Grai district, Gia Lai province) to continue his religious practice.
