Cao Dai Temple: Unique Vietnamese Religion
The Cao Dai Temple in Vietnam blends Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism into a modern faith. By Jack Corbett
But don't ask me what Cao Dai
preaches. We went to one of Cao Dai's biggest temples a few miles
out of Ho Chi Minh City the long way to Chu Chi, and the whole thing was pretty impressive.
Significantly farther out of Ho Chi Minh City than the Tunnels of Chu
Chi, we saw several wide avenues and an even greater number of buildings
that are part of the Cao Dai complex whose members devote themselves to
caring for the sick and old members of the Cao Dai sect. This is
not meant to be a book--let alone a chapter on the religions of the
world. But it's pretty big stuff in Vietnam
