In memory of Master Huynh Phu So

In Memory of His Lordship Huynh of the Hoa-Hao Buddhist Sect.
His Supreme Leader of Hoa-Hao Buddhism (Phật Giáo Hòa Hảo) was born Huynh-Phu-So (Huỳnh Phú Sổ). Born native to the Hoa-Hao village, in the district Tan-Chau of Chau-Doc province, on January 15th, 1920 (Lunar date 25/11, Year of the Goat), he was the son of Huynh-Cong-Bo, Leader of village and Madam Le- Thi-Nham.
At the end of primary school, he had to leave school for health reasons.
On July 4th, 1939 (Lunar date 18/5, Year of the Cat), he suddenly became healthy and declared the opening of the religious Sect, advising the people to follow the Buddhist teachings. Because of its origin in Hoa-Hao, his religious Sect was named Hoa-Hao Buddhism (Phật Giáo Hòa Hảo).
With the philosophy of "Study Buddhism to Self-Imporve" to guide people to cultivate the path (the knowledge and understandings) leading to (self-) liberation. Studying Buddhism is to embrace an intellectual path, and to patiently accumulate knowledge by the path of meditation (concept of "Tu nhân", to reach certain knowledge),“Tu nhân” is to accumulate and gather good deed and providence, to perform all charitable works and reciprocate the 4 Noble Gratitudes ([from debts] of grace/piety toward (1) our Ancestors and Parents, (2) Our Nation / Country, (3) grace towards the Buddha, His Teachings and the Path to Monkhood (tức “Phật, Pháp, Tăng”, and (4) our fellow Citizens and Humanity).
With the method of helping Life through treating ailments, through teachings (lectures), and writing, his Supreme Leader had succeeded blissfully ...because only for a very short time, there were nearly two million followers.
Born in the midst of Viet-Nam’s turmoil: between French colonialism, when the Country was ravaged and oppressed by foreigners, He founded ‘The Civil (Socialist) Party of/for A Democratic Viet-Nam’ ("Việt-Nam Dân-Chủ Xã-Hội Đảng") on September 21st,1946, gatherings patriotic intellectuals from all corners. He also set up the Army of Nguyen-Trung-Truc and Bao-An-Quan (Protective Troops) to keep peace and order in the village.
He participated the Southern Executive Committee as the Special Commissioner to publicly showed the public that he never dreamed of becoming a decadent monarch.
On April 16th,1947 (Lunar date 25/2 Intercalary month, Year of the Pig), one evil Buu-Vinh and his fellow communists (one part of the) Viet-Minh went out of his way to plot and invitation to Him to attend a meeting at the Tan-Phu canal, in Dong Thap Muoi (called the Doc-Vang Event), to reconcile the many conflicts between the Viet-Minh and Hoa-Hao. He had been absent ever since.
With atheism, Viet-Minh, the forerunner of the Vietnamese communists, always viewed legitimate religions as dangerous oppositions to its Regime. They crack down, find ways to control or destroy (and oppress) their opponents. As for the followers of Hoa-Hao Buddhism since the Doc-Vang Event of April 16th,1947 until today - nearly 70 years - they continue to terrorize and oppress.
After the events of April 1975, the state of religious repression in Vietnam became more and more brutal. In 1999, the Vietnamese Communist government (the Viet- Cong) formally implemented a policy of 'divide and conquer' of religions across the country. They (the Communists) propped up (staged) state-based religious organizations led by communist spies and disguised as monks, under the direction of the Central Commission for Propaganda and Education and the Fatherland Front - (this is) a subsidiary organization of the Communist Party. These state-sponsored religious organizations have always been supported by the authorities in the appropriation of worship facilities such as churches, pagodas, temples etc...Many Monks and Followers of Hoa-Hao Buddhism were detained, many were tortured to death but the killers were not tried in court.
