caodaism

Caodaism was founded in Vietnam, 1925 by The Supreme Being who has many other names such as Jehovah, Jesus' Father, Allah, Ngoc Hoang Thuong De, that common people call God.
Cao Dai, The Supreme Being, was revealed to Ngo Minh Chieu, the governor of Phu Quoc (island in the Gulf of Thailand) who was the first disciple of Cao Dai.
The new religion, called the 3rd amnesty of God, was then spread all over the world after the tragedy of the Vietnam War.
Cao Dai united Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, Judaism, Confucianism all in one Root.The teachings strenghten love and tolerance.
The Supreme Being seems to be so far away from human beings, but in fact everyone has God within oneself...by our Consciousness. When we want to improve ourself, we have to balance our emotions first, stay far away from selfishness, jealousy ,hatefulness and try to let compassion, forgiveness and love enrich our life!

[prteamiuphimhan]

Caodaism. There're 30.OOO in America, Europe, Africa, Australia, Korean, Janpan Cambodia, .../ It was found in 1926 at Tay Ninh province and pread so fast! Nowadays, it's third big religion in Vietnam after Budism and Chirstian.

So, actually, it's like in our society, we have created schools!...... why do we have so many schools on Earth? because it's just important for the young generation to not be illiterate, to not be lost in gangs and mafia, if everyone can have cultural knowledge, intelligence, and critical thinking, people won't be living under the yoke of dictatorship! if only the sentient beings can learn to not be jealous, selfish, close-minded...War wouldn't exist anymore...don't you think so?

Then I thought: what's the meaning of religion, though? in Vietnamese, the word religion can be translated as "Dao"= the Way; it's actually the way of teaching that God and all Saints and prophets have tried so hard to guide the human beings to achieve happiness, nirvana, paradise, the Truth...(in a nutshell, not to be sent on Earth again!)
