IRS990ScheduleN/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0It is the resolution of both Americana Buddhist Temple (ABT) in Michigan and its Head Temple, the Corporate Body of NBTI Taoyuen City (NBTI) (a non-profit religious temple at 215 Sec. 1, Dabeikeng St., Yanmei Dist., Taoyuan City, Taiwan), that Americana Buddhist Temple in Michigan, owing to having confronted the difficulties of necessary regular maintenance on the large property and also in maintaining the regular religious service after COVID-19, but after having endeavored very hard but failed to find another suitable site for the temple's relocation, either in New Jersey or in Michigan, to continue the religious business, we can do nothing but unwillingly close this religious business in the United States and relocate to Taiwan.
IRS990ScheduleN/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1It is also the resolution of both temples (in Taiwan and USA) that after the dissolution of Americana Buddhist Temple in the United States, the funds of ABT shall be transferred for the time being to the keeping temporarily of its Head Temple, the Corporate Body of NBTI (Neo-carefree Buddhist Translation Institution) Taoyuen City in Taiwan, and the funds thereof shall be applied to the purchase, furnishing, and regular maintenance of the brand new facility of the relocated Americana Buddhist Temple in Taiwan. To implement in accordance with this resolution, we have transferred the funds to the Head Temple in Taiwan after the dissolution of Americana Buddhist Temple in the United States.
IRS990ScheduleN/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2In our situation, as we are not to dissolve (but to relocate), in accordance with the guidance of the law, what we need to do is to transfer rather than distribute our assets.
