Thich Pho Tue
The late Grand Elder Venerable Thich Pho Tue (1917 - 2021) was the third Patriarch (the third generation Patriarch) of the Council for the Validation of the Vietnamese Buddhist Association. He was born in Khanh Tien commune, Yen Khanh district, Ninh Binh province.
The Venerable Thich Pho Tue, whose secular name was Bui Van Quy, was born on April 12th, 1917 in Phung Thien village, Khanh Tien commune, Yen Khanh district, Ninh Binh province. He entered monastic life in 1923 at Quan Pagoda in Khanh Phu commune, Yen Khanh district, Ninh Binh province. At the age of 8, he received novice ordination, and at the age of 20, he received full ordination as a Bhikkhu and Bodhisattva at Dai Gioi Pagoda in But Thap - Thuan Thanh - Bac Ninh in 1937, together with his close friend, the VenerablenThich Thanh Bich. He studied and practiced at many famous temples of that time such as Te Xuyen and Huong Tich, and finally settled at Da Bao, the second famous pagoda after Doi pagoda and before Khe Hoi.
The Buddhist sect of Vien Minh - Da Bao was founded in 1900 by Master Nguyen Uan, and later led by his second disciple, Thich Quang Ton. In 1961, after the passing of Venerable Thich Quang Ton, the Venerable Hoa Thuong Thich Pho Tue succeeded him as the third leader of the Vien Minh - Da Bao sect.
Instead of following the trend of studying abroad in Japan in the 1950s like other monks of that time, the Venerable Thich Pho Tue chose to practice in seclusion in a remote village in Giang, Phu Xuyen, Hanoi. After 50 years of practicing as a Bhikkhu, he received the rank of Great Master in 1987. The then-current head of the sect, along with three high-ranking monks, Kim Cuong Tu, Thich Thien Sieu, and Thich Tam Thong, went to invite him to Hanoi to take on various positions in the Sangha and lead the editing of the Great Canon of Buddhist Scriptures.
