Two: dealing strictly with troublemaking monasteries.
5. Those monasteries with 10%–30% of monks or nuns 3 participating in disturbances
will be sealed off, searched, suspect persons detained according to law and
any banned items they have hidden shall be confiscated. All religious activities
will be suspended, inmates will be prohibited from leaving the premises, and they
will be cleaned up and rectified in the proper manner.
6. Monastery management committees with officials participating in disturbances
will be rectified in a timely manner, and in cases where an overt incident has occurred,
or where there are no suitable personnel available, the local government
will depute officials to assume control of management. During the period of cleansing
and rectification, the monastery’s financial control and all other management
functions will be suspended.
7. During the period of rectification, those monks or nuns who do not assist the work
of the committee, who do not agree to be registered and photographed, who leave
the monastery premises as they please and refuse to correct themselves despite
repeated reeducation, will be completely expelled from the monastery, will have
their rights as religious practitioners annulled, will be sent back to their native
places, and their residential cells will be demolished. Monks and nuns returning to
the monastery who cannot give a clear reason for having gone outside, who cannot
make a clear stand with respect to the unification of the Motherland and rejection
of the separation of nationalities will be expelled, and their cells demolished.
8. Monks and nuns at monasteries involved in disturbances must re-register, and
their cells in the monastery must be collectively numbered. The limit on the number
of monks or nuns allowed to join the monastery must be reduced in accordance
with the number who participated in the disturbances and the number
expelled. Monks and nuns who continue to profess splittism, who covertly assist
or participate in disturbances, or refuse to comply with reeducation will be expelled.
9. The management committees of monasteries that do not improve following rectification,
where monks and nuns go out again and make trouble, will be investigated,
and in due course, according to law, they will be removed from the list of
registered religious institutions and closed down.
