Buddhistdoor Global: Renowned Vietnamese Buddhist Ascetic Minh Tue Embarks on Pilgrimage to India
Buddhistdoor Global ghi lại khoảnh khắc lịch sử khi Minh Tuệ và năm sư đồng hành khởi hành từ Việt Nam, bắt đầu cuộc hành trình dài hàng nghìn kilômét đến các thánh địa Phật giáo ở Ấn Độ.
On December 16, 2024, Buddhistdoor Global documented the historic departure of Minh Tuệ and five fellow ascetic practitioners from Vietnam, beginning their pilgrimage to Buddhist sacred sites in India and Nepal.
The journey came after local Gia Lai Province authorities had restricted his public alms-round activities due to security concerns and overcrowding from admirers. In July 2024, Minh Tue announced a suspension of activities; in November, he published a handwritten letter confirming this decision.
The article highlighted the positive influence Minh Tuệ has had on Vietnamese Buddhism — encouraging practitioners to study canonical texts rather than merely making temple visits, standing as a counterpoint to recent scandals including the Ba Vang Pagoda fake hair relic controversy and monks with fabricated credentials. His departure marked the beginning of an extraordinary transnational pilgrimage across Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, and beyond.
