Three or maybe 6 in one religion temple

[spada]

On the way , from Ho Chi Minh Ciy I catch a tourist bus cost around Aust $5 to goto a Tayninh to see Cao Dai temple, it is in a big area populated by houses , and in the middle is the temple .Cao Dai is a new religion formed in VN around 1945, it based on three religion with the principle that all religions have one same divine origin, which is God, or Allah, or the Tao .it actualy is a mix of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism .One of the saints look like Victor Hugo. Priests in colorful robes: the red robes stand for Confucianism, the blue robes Taoism and the yellow robes Buddhism we arrived there before the noon and the main ceremony starts at the noon..there is some many interesting things to photograph The picture was taken from a special balcony for visitors. It was an armed religion in the 50 or 60 by the French to combat the Communism ( that have no religion )that are spreading in the South east Asia following Russia and China.Now it is a peaceful religion in Tay Ninh ,the border of VietNam and Cambodia and is vegetarian eater.

Certainly not boring! We missed this temple when we were there (one of us was sick the day we had planned to go). Very interesting building.

Spada - it is always wonderful to see pics from other parts of the world, especially from forum members. Your pics are enhanced with the very interesting prologue

Fantastic and as others have already said, number 2 is particularly impressive.
