Cao Dai Disciple

The Cao Dai Holy See was founded in 1926. It is an interesting and

colourful place that is worth seeing. Caodaism is an attempt to

create the ideal religion by mixing and matching 10 religions. So you

have pieces of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Hinduism, Christianity

and Islam all thrown together. The whole religion is based on a man

named Ngo Minh Chieu who received messages revealed during seances.

Most baffling is the reverence for people such as Victor Hugo in a

religious context. The religion does stress love for one another and

the belief that God resides within each of us. There are now around 3

million followers of this faith and also following in other parts of

the world.

Cao Dai worship 4 times a day, noon, 6pm, 12 midnight & 6am in the morning. Male worshipers will dress like some muslim outfit & female worshipers will dress in white Ao Dai.
