Buddhistdoor Global: Minh Tue — A Living Dharma Under Threat: Will India Uphold the Buddha's Legacy?
Khi Minh Tuệ đến Bodh Gaya để thiền định 49 ngày, bài viết đặt câu hỏi liệu Ấn Độ — nơi Đức Phật giác ngộ — có bảo vệ một hành giả chân chính đang bị bách hại hay không.
On May 30, 2025, Buddhistdoor Global published Tayson DeLengocky's analysis of Minh Tuệ's arrival in Bodh Gaya for 49 days of meditation. Born in 1981, he renounced all institutional affiliations in 2018 to practice dhutanga — living without shelter, money, or possessions, walking barefoot and accepting only alms.
His May 2024 pilgrimage across Vietnam generated 90 million Google searches. But since then he has faced systematic obstruction: Vietnamese Buddhist authorities declared him unrecognized; state officials forcibly exiled him in December 2024. Subsequent travels through Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka involved visa revocations, defamation campaigns, food tampering, and coordinated intimidation.
The article frames his arrival in India as a test: will the world's Buddhist community protect sincere practitioners from persecution by institutional and state authorities? India — where the Buddha achieved enlightenment — is positioned as the ultimate arbiter.
