Does Venerable Minh Tue no longer want Mr. Bau to follow him?
Venerable Minh Tue answered lay Buddhists regarding the replacement of assistants and issues related to personal identification documents as follows:
Regarding the replacement of assistants: Venerable Minh Tue stated that if an assistant (such as "Mr. Bau" mentioned) no longer helps him in his practice, violates the Dharma, or causes suffering, greed, anger, and delusion to others, then he will no longer need that person. He can either manage on his own or find another suitable helper. He does not want anyone to follow him and suffer or engage in wrongdoing. If someone assists him without causing harm and brings joy and happiness to the practitioner, he will regard them as an ordinary person. He does not intend to replace an assistant arbitrarily but follows conditions as they arise. However, if the assistant acts against the law and causes harm, he will replace them.
Regarding practicing without identification documents: Venerable Minh Tue expressed his wish that one day he could practice without needing any personal identification documents. He is willing to accept being imprisoned or whatever happens as long as he is free to practice. He is neither fearful nor worried about lacking documents because he believes that if he does nothing wrong, he will be given the necessary conditions. He is also unattached to anything.
Regarding the impact of imprisonment on his practice: He is not afraid of being imprisoned because he believes that if investigated and found innocent, he will be released. He sees imprisonment as the end of his karma. He does not worry about the next life but focuses only on his present karma and conditions. He still abides by the current legal requirements for identification documents, but if someone makes it difficult for him, he is also ready to abandon them and move on.
Practicing according to the law: Although he wishes to be free from identification documents, at present, he still complies with legal requirements regarding them. He is also indifferent to criticism or defamation.
In summary, Venerable Minh Tue demonstrates his steadfastness in practice, not relying on assistants if they do not contribute to his path and being unafraid of hardships or identification documents, seeking only the freedom to practice in accordance with the law.
