2Cao Dai Temple
After seeing the tunnels, We will go to Cao Dai Temple. Cao Dai Holy See – located in the Tay Ninh province. Cao Daiism, a relatively new religion founded in 1926 in the South of Vietnam, has attracted more than 2.5 million followers across the country and overseas. It is in fact a combination of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, with some Christianity and Islam thrown in for good measure. The hierarchy closely resembles the Roman Catholic Church and the color scheme seems to be lifted straight from a Hindu Temple. The religion’s philosophy fits very well into the world’s current religious turmoils.
