Dear Friends in the Dharma,
First and foremost, thank you for your steadfast love, prayers, and support for Thích Minh Tuệ and his international pilgrimage. Your compassion has sustained this sacred journey—a walk of silence, humility, and unwavering faith—across borders and beyond words.
In an age flooded with noise, Thầy walks barefoot and speechless, carrying nothing but an alms bowl and the truth of the Dharma. His presence alone is a living sermon that transcends religion and language. As one Catholic priest movingly said:
“He may not wear a crucifix, but the Cross is in his footsteps.”
A Walk for Humanity and Peace
This is not a personal quest—it is a pilgrimage for humanity.
Each of Thầy’s footsteps is a prayer for peace.
Each offering of rice affirms our shared interdependence.
Each silent bow is a challenge to a world consumed by conflict and excess.
Thích Minh Tuệ walks not for himself, but for all of us—for Buddhists, for Christians, for seekers of conscience. In his stillness, many find their own reflection. In his renunciation, the world sees a mirror held up to our spiritual hunger.
Featured in Buddhistdoor Global
This sacred movement has now received international attention through Buddhistdoor Global—one of the world’s most prominent Buddhist publications:
🔗 Thích Minh Tuệ – A Living Dharma Under Threat: Will India Uphold the Buddha’s Legacy?
The article documents not only Thầy’s sacred dhutanga practices—praised in early Buddhist texts—but also the persecution he and his companions face: forced exile from Vietnam, visa denials, surveillance, slander, and physical danger.
Despite it all, he walks.
And so must we.
A Sacred Responsibility: The Religious Visa Petition
While the goal of securing religious visas for Thích Minh Tuệ and his fellow practitioners remains just beyond reach, we are now one step closer, thanks to your efforts and rising international awareness.
But we must not pause.
What You Can Do Now
We humbly invite you to take action:
➡️ Share the petition with your friends, family, sanghas, and spiritual communities.
📨 Post it on your social media.
📧 Forward it by email to those who care about human dignity and religious freedom.
🗣️ Speak about it wherever your heart calls.
Why It Matters
This is not just about one monk’s visa.
This is about whether our modern world still has room for holy silence and selfless service.
It is about whether we still recognize the sacred when it appears—not in cathedrals or parliaments—but on dusty roads, in torn robes, and in the quiet company of the poor.
Thích Minh Tuệ walks for all of us.
He walks for peace. He walks for spiritual freedom.
He walks for the forgotten, the voiceless, and those who long for something deeper than materialism and division.
To support him is to affirm our shared human longing for truth and compassion.
📍Every voice matters. Every share counts. Every signature is one step closer to ensuring that Thầy can walk freely—without fear, without borders, and without compromise.
Let us rise together—not in protest, but in peace.
Let us walk with him—not in body, but in spirit.
With deep gratitude and metta,
Supporter of Thích Minh Tuệ’s International Pilgrimage
