His standing is based on:<\/p>\n<p>A. Article III of Decision No. 21, decreed on October 2, 2015 by <strong>His Holiness Thich Quang Do, The Supreme Fifth Patriarch of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam<\/strong>, (v) which specifically stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<strong>Article III of Decision No. 21: Conferred upon Most Venerable Thich Huyen Viet, Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires of the Overseas Office of the UBCV Institute for the Dissemination of the Dharma (a\/k\/a <em>Oversea Executive Office of the UBCV<\/em>) and its remaining members, along with the Executive Council of the Overseas UBCV in the United States, and in collaboration with the Head of the UBCV Communications Department, the International Buddhist Information Bureau and the UBCV International Relations Office (the overseas agencies representing the UBCV) in step by step demanding justice for the UBCV\u2026<\/strong> (vi)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>U.S. law clearly recognizes the authority of the Principal Church in a foreign country to control a religious, nonprofit corporation in Texas.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nThe complexities of resolving this question are well stated in 49 N.Y.Jur., Religious Societies, sec- 8:<\/p>\n<p>When investigating the law relative to religious societies and corporations, it is well to keep in mind that the fact that the churches and other religious societies are of any kinds of denominations, varying in the type or degree of their formal organization,\u2026 under [certain] systems a local church is but a member of a larger and more important religious organization, and is under its government and control. [49 N.Y.Jur., <em><strong>Religious Societies<\/strong><\/em>, sec- 8.]\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thus, His Holiness Thich Quang Do\u2019s UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN in Vietnam can control UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN\u2019s Board of Directors in Texas. Therefore, by the power vested in Him, Most Venerable Thich Huyen Viet is authorized to obtain all assets, and corporate books and records of UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN. As such, you, The Thich Giac Dang Team, are respectfully requested to assemble information and documents for Most Venerable Thich Huyen Viet\u2019s inspection.<\/p>\n<p>B. Most Venerable Thich Huyen Viet\u2019s standing is also based on the fact that He represents Lotus Buddhist Congregation which donated and organized a successful fundraiser in 2014 in Houston, Texas for UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN to purchase Phat Quang Pagoda which has recently been sold by the Thich Giac Dang Team.

An action may also be asserted by the corporation acting directly or through members in a representative suit if the action is against incumbent or former officers or directors of the corporation for exceeding their authority. <em>See, e.g., Governing Board et al. v.

Thich Giac Dang; Ms. Penelope Faulkner (a\/k\/a Ms. Y Lan), Commissioner for International Relations of the Overseas Executive Office of the UBCV Institute for the Dissemination of the Dharma; and Mr. Minh D.

(xii)<\/p>\n<p>On November 25, 2014, with funds raised by Lotus Buddhist Congregation organized by Most Venerable Thich Huyen Viet and many others, as well as with money borrowed from various members, Phat Quang Pagoda was purchased for $1,225,000.00 which was recorded under UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN. (xiii) It was purchased as a place for the Overseas Executive Office of the UBCV Institute for the Dissemination of the Dharma to serve the Buddhist members and to promote the teachings and principles of Buddha in the United States. However, Rev.

Ms. Penelope Faulkner strenuously objected to Rev.

(xviii)<\/p>\n<p>On September 2, 2015, Attorney Steven Dieu drafted the Bylaws for UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN. Article III, Section 3.1 of the Bylaws gave the Board power to conduct \u201call internal affairs and all lawful business and activities\u2026\u201d (xix) Article IV, Section 4.2 mandated that <em>\u201cMembers shall be\u2026 U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, and have resided in the United States at least (5) years.\u201d<\/em> (xx) This Section excludes the Founding Board Member, Ms. Penelope Faulkner. Interestingly, it even excludes His Holiness Thich Quang Do from having any voice in the very Buddhist Church overseas that He decreed to be formed. The reason for exclusion is simple: His Holiness Thich Quang Do is not a U.S. citizen and certainly does not reside in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely, Article XIII, Section 13.2 provides that \u201c[i]n the event of dissolution of the UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN, the residue, remainder, or excess of funds contributed to the UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN shall be disbursed in any lawful manner including, but not limited to, <strong>contributions to political candidates, political parties, other political committees\u2026 as determined by \u00be vote of the board of Directors.<\/strong>\u201d  (xxi) The so-call new directors thus changed UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN from being a religious organization to become a political institution to serve their political agenda.<\/p>\n<p>On September 17, 2015, less than one month after becoming the purported Chairman and President of UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN, Attorney Steven Dieu sold Phat Quang Pagoda to Phuong Que Bui, Inc. d\/b\/a The Galleria Holding (xxii) (the Purchaser) for $1,100,000.00. (xxiii) According to the Orange County\u2019s deed records dated September 21, 2015, the Sale Price is $1,100,000.00. Pursuant to Orange County Treasurer \u2013 Tax Collector\u2019s Information, Phat Quang Pagoda\u2019s Real Property is currently valued at $1,225,000.00 in 2015. So the sale incurred a loss of $125,000.00.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the proceeds were <em>presumably to be used to pay all of the debts of the<\/em> UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN. But according to the Short Form Deed of Trust and Assignments of Rents, Ph\u01b0\u01a1ng Que Bui, Inc. was allowed to owe UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN $900,000.00. (xxiv)<\/p>\n<p>Thus, unbeknownst to the Member Plaintiffs and millions of Vietnamese Buddhists in Vietnam and abroad, 10 months after the purchase (November 26, 2014 to September 17, 2015), Phat Quang Pagoda was sold to a Texas private entity with a large debt remaining unpaid. Not until September 30, 2015, (13 days after the sale and after several Members discovered the transfer) did Defendants then disclose the shocking news of the sale of Phat Quang Pagoda on the website of <em>Tieng Noi Luong Tri<\/em>, a website which belongings to The Thich Giac Dang Team. (xxv)<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, thousands of contributors and members of UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN are shocked, hurt, and devastated. To millions of Vietnamese Buddhists at home and abroad, selling Phat Quang Pagoda, <em>a place of the Overseas Executive Office of the UBCV Institute for the Dissemination of the Dharma<\/em>, is like selling the Church\u2019s sacred altar, a travesty and a violation of their faith!<\/p>\n<p>On October 2, 2015, His Holiness Thich Quang Do decreed Resolution No. 21, expelling Rev. Thich Giac Dang (Pham Dang) and Mr. Minh D. Tran, from the Church Hierarchy and from UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN, and ordered Most Venerable Thich Huyen Viet in \u201cstep by step demanding justice\u201d for the Church and for numerous Buddhist Members. (xxvi) This Demand Letter, therefore, is presented herein.<\/p>\n<div align=\"left\"><span class=\"title\"><font color=\"#000000\"><strong>IV. Due to His Official Resignation, Rev. Thich Giac Dang Could Not Vote to Elect the Six (6) So-Called New \u201cBoard Directors.\u201d<\/strong><\/font><\/span><\/div>\n<p>\nAs indicated, on August 18, 2015, Rev. Thich Giac Dang, having no power to act as a board director, called a special meeting of the Board of UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN, and imprudently cast his vote purportedly to elect six (6) so-called new board directors. Ms. Penelope Faulkner could not attend the special meeting with only 24-hour notice, and thus objected to: 1) the short-notice meeting, 2) the fact that Thich Giac Dang could not vote, 3) the lack of quorum (because only Mr. Minh D. Tran could be present at the Special Meeting), and 4) the illegality of the election of the purported new directors. (xxvii)<\/p>\n<p>Pursuant to Section 22.212 of the Texas Business Organization Code, the resignation of Rev. Thich Giac Dang created a vacancy which can only be filled \u201cby the affirmative vote of <em>the majority of the remaining directors<\/em>, regardless of whether that majority is less than a quorum.\u201d TEX. BUS. ORG. CODE \u00a7 22.212 (emphasis added). The majority of the Board (Ms. Faulkner and Mr. Minh D. Tran) did not vote affirmatively to re-elect Rev. Thich Giac Dang. Therefore, he had no board power to act. <em>(See id.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Section 22.206 of the Texas Business Organization Code specifically provides that \u201cdirectors other than the initial directors are elected by the [initial] board of directors.\u201d TEX. BUS. ORG. CODE \u00a7 22.206. To have a valid election of the new board members, <em>other than the initial directors<\/em>, at the special meeting on August 18, 2015, a quorum of the initial Board of directors must be met (xxviii) or an affirmative vote of the majority is required. (xxix)<\/p>\n<p><strong>A. Notice of the August 18, 2015 Special Meeting called by Rev. Thich Giac Dang, after resigning, to elect 6 new directors.<\/strong><br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nTEX. BUS. ORG. CODE \u00a7 22.217(B):<BR><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nSpecial meetings of the board of directors shall be held <em><strong>with notice as prescribed by the bylaws<\/strong><\/em>. Attendance of a director at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice, unless the director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There were no bylaws at time of meeting, but common sense dictates that 24 hour notice of a meeting called by a resigned board member is not proper notice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B. The August 18, 2015 Board Meeting lacked a quorum.<\/strong><br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nTEX. BUS. ORG. CODE \u00a7 22.213 provides.A<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n (a) A quorum for the transaction of business by the board of directors of a corporation is the <em><strong>lesser<\/strong><\/em> of:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n (1) the <em><strong>majority<\/strong><\/em> of the number of directors set by the corporation\u2019s bylaws or, in the absence of a bylaw setting the number of directors, a <em><strong>majority<\/strong><\/em> of the number of directors stated in the corporation\u2019s <em><strong>certificate of formation<\/strong><\/em>; <em><strong>or<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>(2) any number, <em><strong>not less than three<\/strong><\/em>, set as a quorum by the certificate of formation or bylaws.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> (b) A director present by proxy at a meeting may not be counted toward a quorum.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>TEX. BUS. ORG. CODE \u00a7 22.213.<\/p>\n<p>Section 22.213 (a) requires there be at least two board members in order for there to be a quorum. Rev. Thich Giac Dang resigned as a director before meeting. <em>See<\/em> TEX. BUS. ORG. CODE \u00a7 22.211 (\u201ca director of a corporation may resign at any time by providing written notice to the corporation\u201d). Ms. Faulkner was not present. Because no quorum was present, the vote of the alleged board to elect 6 new directors is invalid. Section 22.212. which allows the majority of the remaining board to fill a vacancy even if no quorum is present, does not authorize the election of new directors. The reason is: there was no affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining directors. TEX. BUS. ORG. CODE \u00a7 22.212(a) (\u201ca vacancy in the board of directors of a corporation shall be filled by the affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining directors, regardless of whether that majority is less than a quorum\u201d). (1)<\/p>\n<p>Because no quorum was present, the resolution to elect the new board is invalid, and any vote of the new board to sell the Pagoda is invalid.<\/p>\n<p>Stated differently, on that day, to meet the quorum, the majority of the initial board of directors listed on the corporation\u2019s Certificate of Formation must be at least two. (See the Certificate of Formation with Mr. Danh Pham (Rev. Thich Giac Dang), Mr. Minh D. Tran, and Ms. Penelope Faulkner.) Because Mr. Dang Pham already resigned (thus his presence was not counted), Ms. Penelope Faulkner was not present and only Mr. Minh D. Tran was present at the meeting, a quorum was not met. Nor was there an affirmative vote of the majority of the initial board at that special meeting. As such, Rev. Thich Giac Dang\u2019s vote purportedly to elect the six new board directors was invalid. Because the vote to elect the purported new board members was invalid, any subsequent vote on any matter of such so-called new board members of UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN was also invalid as a matter of law. In other words, the purported new board directors, via its so-called Chairman, had no authority to vote on the filing of Form 802, the drafting and the voting on the Bylaws, the selling of the assets of the corporation, and the illegal retaining of the legal name and assumed name of UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN.<\/p>\n<p>On October 10, 2015, in an attempt to cure their mistake after the fact, at the General Assembly in San Jose, The Thich Giac Dang Team asked the members to vote. (xxx) However, they could not do so because it was too late! Via the Certificate of Formation which was filed with the Texas Secretary of State, the power to decide on any Fundamental Business Transaction \u2013 <em>i.e.<\/em> the sale of UBCV \u2013 GHPGVNTN\u2019s fundamental asset at the time of sale (September 17, 2015) was vested in the Board. Since the Board of Directors, <strong>except Mr. Minh D. Tran<\/strong>, was not a valid Board, the Board\u2019s act was invalid. Therefore, the sale of Phat Quang Pagoda was invalid as a matter of law. As such, <em>members<\/em> of UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN <em>have no power to vote authorizing or ratifying the illegal sale<\/em>. See TEX. BUS. ORG. CODE \u00a7 22.252 (b) (\u201c If the corporation has . . . no members with voting rights, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation must be authorized by the vote of directors required by Section 22.164.\u201c)<\/p>\n<p>As such, seven of the purported board directors and one initial board member, Minh D. Tran, exceeded their authority to act for the corporation. Consequently, the Member of UBCV &#8211; GHPGVNTN are entitled to bring a declaratory action asking the Court to declare the sale of Phat Quang Pagoda void as a matter of law. <em>See, e.g., Governing Board et al. v.
