The Cao Dai Temple colourful and original rococo style combines the architectures of a Catholic church, a Buddhist pagoda and a Muslim mosque. The doors of the temple were opened when we arrived.
Cao Ðài (also Caodaiism) is a syncretistic, monotheistic religion, officially established in the city of Tây Ninh, southern Vietnam in 1926.
Adherents engage in ethical practices such as prayer, veneration of ancestors, nonviolence, and vegetarianism with the minimum goal of rejoining God the Father in Heaven and the ultimate goal of freedom from the cycle of birth and death. Estimates of Cao Dai adherents in Vietnam vary, but most sources give two to three million.
