Background (Preamble):
为了维护三宝道场的作用与价值,为了利益大众,一群关心马来西亚寂静园林的居士于2008年7月20日成立了"寂静园林 源自十方 应属十方"请愿委员会(后称"请愿委员会")。请愿委员会希望以实际的行动,恢复寂静园林(佛教寺院)当初成立的意愿与宗旨,希望加影寂静园与彭亨寂静林有望如昔日般大门重开,续转法轮,弘扬佛法。
寂静园林不应因少数特权分子的施压、与不负责任,而被牺牲掉它原有的功能与存在意义及价值。事情的发展证实:大部分护持者的福利与机会被无情地典当了。
请愿委员会之宗旨:履行与实践在家居士应尽的责任与义务,使寂静园林恢复以往信众修学佛法之处。
请愿委员会之目的 ~ 维护三宝道场:维护十方信众的利益为前提,确保来自十方布施的款项,都在佛教精神下,公开、透明化处理,如法运作,以便恢复十方信众的利益并回馈十方。
为此,请愿委员会拟定此《请愿书》,写出四点诉求。这诉求都是护法居士对寂静园林的展望,更是护法居士深切的期盼与意愿,旨在希望寂静园林能再重新开放。自此,开始了马不停蹄地在全马进行请愿运动。自2008年9月,截至2009年4月已有400位佛友签署该请愿书,认同此四点重要的诉求!
请愿委员会多番联络现任寂静园林负责人反映大家对三宝道场的期望,却不被理会。于是于26/4/09聚在加影寂静园门口召开的记者会(简称"426请愿集会"),正式公开向现任寂静园林负责人发表宣言,提出维护这三宝道场的四个诉求。若您想知道此请愿运动记者会详情及进展,请浏览http://revive-jjyl.blogspot.com。
为了引起佛教界的共鸣来维护三宝道场的作用与价值;为了利益大众,我们在此以网上请愿书的方式继续进行请愿签名运动。诚邀您们成为此请愿行动的一分子。每一个人的参与,将成为寂静园林开放的重要助缘。我们希望凝聚大家的愿力,同心协力,依法行事,护持正法。

A group of concerned Malaysian Buddhists have established "MNMC from Public to Public" Petition Committee on July 20, 2008 with the intention to witness the re-opening of MNMC (consist of 2 places: Nibbana Vihara at Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia & Nibbanarama at Sg. Jerik, Pahang, Malaysia) to continue to propagate Buddhism.
MNMC should not deviate from its original mission due to a group of minority.
The Petition committee is set up with the aim to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations to revive MNMC to its original mission for the public.
The mission of the committee is to safeguard Buddhism monastery, interest of Buddhist devotees and their financial contribution to ensure donations are transparent.
For this, the petition committee drafted the four demands in its petition, seeking support from Buddhist devotees and working towards the re-opening of MNMC as a monastery. The petition campaign, launched since Sept last year, has a total of 400 signatures up till April 2009.
Various attempts of petition committee to contact with resident monks in MNMC were unsuccessful. The committee had no other alternative but gathered in front of Nibana Vihara to voice the petition on April 26 as reported in the Star. You may access the progressing details of our petition through browsing http://revive-jjyl.blogspot.com.
To gather public support, the petition campaign is continued with online via the cyberspace. We invite you to join us for this campaign. The participation of each individual means a lot to us in supporting the cause of re-opening MNMC, including the Buddhist monastery. We hope to unite the effort of all brothers and sisters in Dhamma for this cause.

Petition:
寂静园林“从零出发”,从每月偿还寂静园林的土地债务、建筑施设的支付,甚至今日周全的设施,全赖于十方信众的布施。众所周知,寂静园林秉持以下三大理念依法行持,使僧信皆得受益:
• 人间之佛陀,勤说涅槃道,依法摄僧信,最佳模范师。
• 正法八正道,学佛唯一道,闻法随法行,趋向涅槃道。
• 重视僧教育,实践涅槃道,僧信善互动,僧证即法在。
然,自2006年至今,寂静园林已关闭近三年了。虽仍有僧众住持,却每日大门深锁,昔日一切人天欢喜赞叹的公开弘法活动、会讯及网站皆随之音消迹灭。如今寂静园林亦不复昔日祥和寂静,信众布施的部分资产已被变卖,实有违十方信众所托。寂静园林名下的一处地段亦已出售,而其脱售金额却去向不明。此种种变更不但没有正式的公布,更未向会员、布施者交代。
请愿书的诉求为护法居士对寂静园林的展望,更是护法居士深切的期盼与意愿,旨在希望寂静园林能再重新开放、续转法轮、弘扬佛法。
总结:
(i) 寂静园林资产为十方信众所布施,理应回归十方信众
(ii) 以目前的状况,为了避免再有任何寂静园林资产的变卖,所有的基金及财产应被冻结以维护布施者的权益。
请愿书四点诉求:
(一)禁止现有的寂静园林理事与合法会员变卖园林任何资产
(二)寂静园林资产、账目记录透明化,公布于所有布施者
(三)重新开放寂静园林,让大众能继续闻法、供僧
(四)让自愿发心成为寂静园林会员的大众注册为合法会员
寂静园林目前的状况:
i. 寂静园林理事会已改选、园林委托人也已易名、园林的三个银行户口已关闭,而第四个户口(Maybank MNMC 5120 2632 2262)的签名权已交予新的主席、财政与秘书。而此新任的主席、财政与秘书,即为现寂静园林的常住僧众中的三位比丘。
ii. 信众布施的旧寂静林地段已于2007年9月被转卖,脱售金额(约马币220多千)去向不明。此种种变更没有正式的公布,更没有向会员、布施者交代。
iii. 目前寂静园林没有任何公开供僧、弘法活动。
iv. 目前寂静园林比丘只允许少数信徒进入寂静园,不允许其他居士进入,甚至以种种方式避免(禁止)其他居士跟随被允许的信徒进入寂静园。

From the very beginning till to date, the acquisition of Malaysia Nibbana Meditation Centre (MNMC) (consist of Nibbana Vihara & Nibbanarama) landed property, fixed assets, monthly maintenance of the facilities are solely raised from the devotees' donation from all walks of life. As it is well known that the below three (3) main principles have been strictly adhered in order to practice according to the wholesome teachings:
• The Buddha as Supreme, who diligently preaches the path of Nibbana, who strengthens faith in both Sangha and lay devotees with the Dhamma, is our supreme living example and teacher.
• The Noble Eightfold Path as the right Dhamma, our only way of Dhamma practices, by acting according to the Dhamma preaching and thus strive towards Nibbana.
• The Value the Sangha education as the proper support of Sangha, who practices the path leading towards Nibbana, by building up right interaction between the Sangha and lay supporters, as the attainment of Sangha sustains the Dhamma.
However, since year 2006, MNMC had been denying access to all rightful Buddhist devotees for almost three (3) years. Although there are monks around, the door remains close. Previous precious Dhamma preaching, newsletter and website for Buddhist devotees have also been stopped. The atmosphere at Nibbana Vihara and Nibbanarama are never the same as before. Part of MNMC assets were sold without any public notice and this has seriously breached the trust of devotees. A piece of landed property under MNMC had also been sold, yet whereabouts of the sales money is unknown.
Four demands of this Petition are the hope of donor laities and devotees toward MNMC, request MNMC to be re opened so that Dhama Cakara can be continued.
Conclusion:
(i) The assets of MNMC were accumulated through public donation and should be returned to them for the public benefits.
(ii) Considering the current situation, to avoid further assets of MNMC being sold, all MNMC properties should be prevented from disposal pending an amicable solution.
Four Demands of the Petition:
1. Prohibit the current MNMC committee and members to sell any assets of MNMC.
2. Records of MNMC assets and accounts to be transparent for public scrutiny.
3. Reopen MNMC for public's participation in activities as well as offerings to monks.
4. Allow devotees keen to contribute to join MNMC as official members.
MNMC Current Situation:
i. MNMC committee had been re-elected, property trustee had been renamed, and three bank accounts of MNMC had been closed whist the authorized signatories for the fourth bank account (Maybank MNMC account number 5120 2632 2262) had been amended to the new Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary, and these positions are now being held by 3 current MNMC monks.
ii. The previous Nibbanarama (forest land located Sri Jaya, Maran district, Pahang) had been sold off in Sept 2007, the safe keeping of the monies obtained from the sale (more than RM 220K) remain unknown. All of the above changes had never been announced in public formally even the rightful donors and members were not acknowledged.
iii. At present, MNMC remains close. It does not have public activities nor any offerings for monks.
iv. At present, MNMC monks only allow a small group of “confidants" (trusted members who take their sides and support their current views) to enter the monastery. The resident monks denied public access to enter Nibbana Vihara. Furthermore, actions had been taken to forbid other laities from following the “confidants" to enter Nibbana Vihara.
