Also attending the event were representatives of the Government’s Committee for Religious Affairs and leaders of Tay Ninh province.
Speaking at the event, Monsignor Thuong Tam Thanh, head of the Executive Council of the Cao Dai Tay Ninh Church, called on followers to lead a pure life and to help their societies by sharing difficulties.
On the same day, an exhibition of photos and ancient stories of the church was opened, helping visitors to understand the religion more clearly.
Founded in 1926 in Tay Ninh province, the Cao Dai religion worships the Divine Eye, known as the eye of heaven, a symbol of its supreme being. Cao Dai’s doctrine honours the Divine and the miraculous quality of supreme spirits and considers them as the means for human beings to unify with the God. It is now the third largest religion in Vietnam with over 46,000 followers nationwide.
