Thich Huyen Quang was escorted by police back to the Nguyen Thieu Monastery and placed under house arrest.

After receiving treatment, he was taken back to the Nguyen Thieu Monastery and placed back under administrative detention.

He is often locked inside his room for long periods. Security Police are stationed inside and outside the monastery.

Thich Huyen Quang is under permanent detention in the monastery without having been notified of any charges against him.

His whole monastery was thrown into prison at the time of the uprising, when the Dalai Lama had to leave Tibet.

And yet, two hours later you find yourself standing on the roof of this monastery, smeared with mud, blood and sweat.

The authorities informed him that he was prohibited from leaving the monastery, which is under permanent surveillance by the Binh Dinh police.

It was said that since 9 October 2003, Thich Huyen Quang has been under house arrest at Nguyen Thieu Monastery, Binh Dinh Province.

And I lived in a Himalayan monastery, and I studied with a very wise teacher, who kicked me out of the monastery one day and told me that it was my destiny it felt like Yoda it is your destiny to go to work for WHO and to help eradicate smallpox, at a time when there was no smallpox program.

In Chin state, the reported destruction of a Christian cross by Government troops and the coercion of Chin Christians to contribute money and labour for the construction of a Buddhist monastery are to be regretted.

In fact, the Chinese appointed Karmapa Lama has a doppelgänger Karmapa, who has set up shop in New Delhi. With both the Karmapas in India, the Indian government has sought to maintain peace by barring the contenders from the sacred Rumtek monastery in the Indian Himalayan state of Sikkim.

The information available to the Working Group supports the allegation of the source that Thich Quang Do was placed under administrative detention on 10 October 2003 for an indefinite time, and since then he is confined to solitary confinement in his room in the monastery, where he is living.

NEW DELHI The seizure by police of large sums of Chinese currency from the Indian monastery of the Karmapa Lama one of the most important figures in Tibetan Buddhism has revived old suspicions about his continuing links with China and forced him to deny that he is an agent of Beijing.

Thus, in 1992, China helped select the seven year old Ogyen Trinley Dorje as the 17th Karmapa Lama, installing him at Tibet s Tsurphu monastery the Karmapas ancestral abode, which was almost destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. He became the first reincarnated living Buddha to be recognized and ratified by Communist China.

But then, in 1999, Dorje staged a stunning escape to India via Nepal, attracting the world s attention, but also deep suspicion because of the apparent ease with which he and his entourage managed to flee. The Dalai Lama has hosted him at the Gyuto monastery in Dharamsala, India, ever since.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has renovated the Panagia Sümela Monastery, a 1,600 year old church in Trabzon on the Black Sea coast.

Stretching from the strategic Karakoram Pass, near Pakistan in the north, the LAC runs south, along the ridges of the eastern Himalayas to the ancient Buddhist monastery town of Tawang.

On 29 March 2005, Thich Quang Do recorded a video message for the sixty first session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, in which he called for the respect of human rights in Viet Nam and described his own situation As I speak to you today, I am under house arrest at the Thanh Minh Zen Monastery in Saigon.

The previous Karmapa Lama died in 1981, and the controversy over his successor that has raged ever since also epitomizes a struggle for control of the 1.5 billion in assets held by the Kagyu order, the richest in Tibetan Buddhism. With control of the Rumtek monastery embroiled in rival lawsuits, the New Delhi based Karmapa has, not surprisingly, greeted the recent cash seizure as exposing his Chinese appointed rival.

In fact, Thich Huyen Quang was arrested because, following promises of increased religious tolerance made by Prime Minister Phan Van Khai during their meeting in Hanoi, Thich Huyen Quang decided to call an assembly of UBCV at his monastery in October 2003 to elect a new leadership.
