SUBJECT: FUNERAL FOR UBCV PATRIARCH MOVING FORWARD, SOME PROVINCIAL 
MONKS BARRED FROM TRAVELING 
 
REF: A) HCMC 608   B) O-I # 119 -08 
 
1. (SBU) Summary:  Post's Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam 
(UBCV) contacts in Binh Dinh province affirmed today that the 
late Venerable Thich Huang Quang's funeral will be held on July 
11 at Nguyen Thieu monastery, amid heavy police security (Ref 
A).  Senior monks of the banned UBCV organization said they are 
in charge of the event, despite Vietnamese media reports that 
the official Vietnam Buddhist Sanga will officiate.  Although 
the UBCV was optimistic that provincial monks would be able to 
attend the funeral "without difficulties," monks in some 
provinces have reported that police prevented them from 
traveling to Binh Dinh.  End summary. 
 
UBCV Still in Charge of Funeral 
------------------------------- 
2. (SBU) Two close UBCV associates of senior leader Thich Quang 
Do re-affirmed today that UBCV leaders will officiate at the 
funeral of former Patriarch Thich Huang Quang on July 11 in Binh 
Dinh, and not the GVN.  The Vietnam Buddhist Sanga (VBS) is also 
playing a supporting vs. leading role in the ceremonies.  Thich 
Khong Thanh, who is in Binh Dinh province now, reported that 
Vietnam Buddhist Sanga representatives came to pay their 
respects to Quang at Nguyen Thieu monastery on July 6th, and 
thanked senior UBCV leader Thich Quang Do for guiding the 
organization of the "well prepared" funeral.  Thanh said the 
funeral will be a "tranquil" event devoid of speeches, in 
accordance with the late Patriarch's wishes. 
 
But Not Allowed to Advertise 
---------------------------- 
3. (SBU) Security remains tight around the monastery where Quang 
lays in state.  While Thich Huyen Quang's passing has been noted 
in numerous GVN-controlled press outlets, the name of the 
organization has generally been absent, other than in one report 
that noted that "the UBCV is a religious organization not 
recognized by the State."  Thich Khong Thanh reported from Binh 
Dinh that police have forbidden local flower shops from printing 
banners for funeral wreaths with the UBCV's name on them.  He 
added, however, that several wreaths bearing the organization's 
name were sent to the monastery before authorities interfered. 
UBCV monks are also closely guarding the funeral notice bearing 
the UBCV's name in front of the monastery.  Several state-run 
media articles have criticized Thich Quang Do and other UBCV 
leaders of using the funeral as a means to bolster support for 
his candidacy as the Fifth Patriarch and legitimacy for the 
organization. 
 
Some Provincial Monks Prevented From Traveling 
--------------------------------------------- - 
4. (SBU)  Though UBCV leaders gathered in Binh Dinh were 
previously optimistic about other provincial monks being allowed 
to travel to the funeral tomorrow (Ref A), several post contacts 
reported that they were prevented from traveling by local 
authorities.  In nearby Dong Nai province, two UBCV monks said 
police stopped them from boarding buses to Binh Dinh shortly 
after Quang's death was announced.  Their monastery continues to 
be monitored by authorities.  In Phu Yen, UBCV monks said police 
are also posted outside their pagoda, so they will not attempt 
the trip.  In Ba-Ria-Vung Tau, UBCV monks said they were stopped 
and questioned by authorities while traveling, but "managed 
their way" to Binh Dinh yesterday. Post will continue to monitor 
events. 
 
5. (SBU) Post is awaiting the HCMC External Relations Office's 
reply to our diplomatic note requesting an officer be allowed to 
attend the funeral, though getting to Binh Dinh in time for the 
7:00am start time on July 11 is logistically impossible at this 
point (Ref B).  Post will continue to report developments.
