VIETNAM ARCHIVES
Until today, I still resounding first radio station's brand French TF1 television, news alerts North Vietnamese guards occupied Saigon each step.
At that time I had just returned to Paris after a long trip through the country presentations Europe - US Peace presented the views of the Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV).
As members of the diaspora of the Church, we represent overseas Institute of Chemistry Director for information and expressed the stance of the Church in the missionary fraternity war.
North Vietnamese takeover by the military is appalled. We did not see any violence provisions in the Paris Agreement in 1973.
A Southern neutral, with the governments of the three components, and the policy of reconciliation, national reconciliation shattered in smoke under the chain of tanks bulldozed Palace of Independence in Saigon.
Dream dreams my homecoming into contingency dream, when I heard the news in a deluge of water made such good things, like focus mode renovated, new economy ... From October 8th onwards 9-1975 many Buddha statue cast, or in the temples in the provinces of Quang Ngai, Pleiku, Soc Trang, Phan Thiet, etc ... were smashed.
'Dead glory, living flesh'
Date 2-11-1975, under banners "It is better to die than live humiliated honor", 12 nuns at the Monastery of Medicine, Can Tho, collective self-immolation protest the Revolutionary government with claim 7 requires human rights, freedom of religion, to stop persecuting his church.
Demonstration of protest on opening this conflict religious persecution and extermination of Hanoi Buddhism, which the Church persevered to 40 years later. The policy was designed to Tran Xuan Bach through Directive No. 20 of the Party and Le Duan signed since 1960, causing mortal Northern Buddhism. This brought the application in the South.
Never in history dynasty Vietnam, where volume monks, Buddhists in prison, on probation camp or renovate a large house like the reign of Ho Chi Minh.
About monks were defrocked, or put into Cambodian battlefields. Chemistry Institute Director clergy were arrested, as the Venerable Huyen Quang and Thich Thien Minh City ... Due to international pressure, the two Mr. Huyen Quang, Quang sentenced to 2 years in prison late 1977. Try Thich Thien Minh was tortured to death in interrogation camp X4, Nguyen Trai street, Saigon.
After terrorism, crackdown in 5 years, still can not destroy the Unified Buddhist Sangha of Vietnam, where the network of organizations of the Church spread from urban to rural areas, with a large volume Buddhist-backed. Mr. Xuan Thuy, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Head of Advocacy, Mr Do Trung Hieu assigned to the unified Buddhist missions. He says:
«It is important that the party leadership was never Unified Buddhist Sangha of Vietnam, which reverse Unified Buddhist Sangha of Vietnam become a large religious organizations have mass, as an organization have permanent political pressure to the Party and government of Vietnam ".
This is the focal point for "Vietnam Buddhist Association" was born at Quan Su Pagoda, Hanoi on 4-11-1981, which gathered mainly Buddhist patriotic associations of the Party, not as a church of Increase Buddhists form. Society as a political tool for the Party, as foreign propaganda for the regime.

Mr Do Trung Hieu, architect of Buddhist organizations this state, has to reflect 13 years later, when his short memoirs collected works Buddhist Party. In the book "Unified Buddhist" Hieu revealed:
«The Buddhist uniform this time, by the Venerable outside shoulder, but the hand inside the Communist Party of Vietnam through the process and agreed to hold Buddhist turn Vietnam into an organization's puppet Bitter. (...) Content activity due temples worship, no activity related to what the public and society. Vietnam Buddhist Church in the Fatherland Front Committee, comply with the laws of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam ".
Soon the aforementioned uniform, two Venerable Huyen Quang, Quang dissolved in exile hometown in Quang Ngai and Thai Binh province in early 1982 by the decision of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, not the past the trial court.
A witness credible terrorist Buddhist period is the late Tertiary Sangha Thich Don Hau. Mau year itself, 1968, he was forced burden on the forest, and then launched in Hanoi as hostages of the state, and is used as the external propaganda article.
His back to the South with the position of the National Assembly, member of the Vietnam Fatherland Front. But he wrote the resignation of all positions and even denounced repressive regime and massacred Buddhist Thich Thien Minh. In the audiotape, which the magazine motherland release published in Paris, he exposed the so-called "liberation" South as follows:
"Solidarity, love and respect for the past, only 10 days! After 10 days: this ancient unity of all life now! Love changed to detest! Respect now contempt thoughtful people back to! "
Reasons for opposition
The reason that Vietnam Buddhists opposed the Communist government? The details of the Venerable Huyen Quang prospectus released in 1994 said:
"Buddhism we are in the midst of the French victims II. The State of Vietnam has suppressed Vietnam Buddhist Church Unity us since the day 30-4-1975
"Just because the position of the Church is not accepted as a tool for any political force, and the Church is only required to Buddhism are independent activities within the framework of religion and law."
Not wanting to do stuff for the regime, for two thousand years history of Buddhism, Buddhism always with ethnic, joys and sorrows according to water transportation, side by side with the people against aggression, defense of sovereignty.
Multiple Master Cheng, Female Minister Buddhists joined the Hai Ba Trung in the war's first national defense of our country and many monks level, another teacher also contributed to the dynasty Vietnam era in the building and defending the country.
Likewise, the reigning German Fifth Sangha Thich Quang Do, living in probation, keeps voiced democratization Solutions Vietnam from May 2/2001 to rescue the situation.
He accused the victims Highlands bauxite Thursday as the team launched by Beijing, denounced the invasion of the Chinese islands, which events Hai Duong 981 rigs happened last year was one of the demonstration.

Currently, Vietnam Buddhist Church Unity exists only in practice, but the State does not recognize. However, the Church continues to campaign demanding restoration of legal rights activities, and to fight for freedom of religion, human rights and democracy.
The Church currently has 20 Board of Representatives in the provinces. But all cultural activities, education, religious beliefs are being harassed and forbidden.
So the future of the Church will be like? Still the future of Buddhism in the world in general, continue lineages of Buddhism and promote vibrant, currently thriving in the US and European countries after nearly three thousand years of implementation guidance.
Meanwhile, the evil regime, dictatorship to where there is only one time.
The future depends Buddhist Vietnam is a Communist Party to accept democratization process to form pluralistic democracy, or an event stand by the people to exercise democracy.
The ancients said, carrying the boat is water, water is also capsize. Water is the people.
