Caodaism was a religion I had never heard
of until I started reading about Vietnam. It is a fusion of
bits and pieces of several religions including Buddism, Confucianism, Taoism,
native Vietnamese Spiritualism, Chistianity and Islam. It became an official
religion in 1926, is strongest in southern Vietnam, but has a small following
outside of Vietnam as well. The detail in the temple is unbelievable, check
out these shots.
