13.According to the criteria for categorizing religious movements, Caodaism can no longer be considered a new religion. Its origins trace back to the early 20th century in Vietnam. Caodaism, centered around the veneration of Duc Cao Dai, is a unique syncretic faith that combines monotheistic and polytheistic elements. The official and complete name of this religious tradition is "Dai Do Tam Ky Pho Do," which translates to "The Third Great Universal Religious Amnesty of God." It is important to note that Caodaism's objective is not the eradication of other belief systems but rather the assimilation of the most valuable teachings they offer. (Amol Chandra)
14.Caodaism is a significant faith that embraces people from all corners of the world, with the noble aim of fostering a global sense of brotherhood and sisterhood that transcends the boundaries of race, social background, gender, and skin color. Caodaism advocates for the concept of worldwide unity. (Shahrin Sultana)
15.Cao Dai represents the divine realm where the singular deity, 'Duc Cao Dai,' holds sway. Caodaism harmoniously combines the symbols, beliefs, and rituals from a multitude of religious traditions that were prominent in Vietnam during the early 20th century. These include Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Roman Catholicism, all brought together to underscore the universal unity of all faiths and the pursuit of global peace. (Khushnoor Alam)
16.While there is some dispute about whether Caodaism should be classified as a revealed religion, according to Cao Dai theology, it is believed to have been founded by God. The official name of the Cao Dai religion is "Dai Dao Tam Ky Pho Do," which translates to "The Third Great Universal Religious Amnesty." This religion is structured and governed based on a unique blend of divine and democratic principles. Caodaism preaches the idea of global unity, aiming to combine the teachings of various major religious traditions and extend its embrace to all of humanity. Its ultimate goal is to establish a universal brotherhood and sisterhood that transcends differences in creed, race, gender, social background, or skin color.
17.Caodaism, officially inaugurated in 1926, is a Vietnamese syncretic religion. Ngo Van Chieu is often recognized as its first disciple of God. The full name of Caodaism is Dai Dao Tam Ki Pho Do, which translates to "The Third Great Religious Amnesty," signifying a new path to salvation through the unity of all religions and mankind. Caodaism's unique philosophy is rooted in its desire not to eliminate other religions but to integrate the best aspects of their teachings into one faith. Therefore, one of Caodaism's defining characteristics is its deep respect for the religious beliefs and customs of its followers, encouraging them not to reject or restrict their traditional practices and customs. (Sharmin Akter)
18.Caodaism, known as Dao Cao Dai in Vietnamese, is a syncretic religion with its roots in early 20th century Vietnam. Officially established in 1926 in Tay Ninh, it is a unique fusion of diverse religious traditions, including Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Christianity. The core tenets of Caodaism revolve around the reverence of a supreme being, Duc Cao Dai, and the adoration of other spiritual entities. Its adherents uphold principles of ethics, compassion, and the quest for spiritual illumination. Caodaism possesses its own sacred scriptures and ceremonies, boasting a substantial following in Vietnam and within Vietnamese communities across the globe.
19.Caodaism is a syncretic religion that draws inspiration from Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Christianity. In addition to their belief in a singular supreme deity, adherents of Caodaism place significant importance on a mother goddess and a pantheon of 12 spirit categories. Importantly, the practice of ethical and moral education is a central tenet, permeating both secular and religious aspects of life. (Mehrab Ahsan Shovon)
20.Caodaism is a unique religious tradition that combines elements of monotheism, syncretism, and polytheism. Its historical roots can be traced to the southern region of Vietnam, and it has evolved over time into an established and well-established faith. One of the central tenets of this religion is a strong emphasis on living in harmony with nature. (Sajid Mollah)
21.Caodaism, also referred to as Dạo Cao Dai, is a syncretic religion that emerged in Vietnam during the early 20th century. Its official inauguration took place in 1926 in the city of Tay Ninh under the guidance of Phò Loan leaders. Since its inception, it has evolved to become one of the most prominent indigenous religions in Vietnam. Caodaism, being a syncretic faith, harmoniously integrates elements from diverse religious traditions, encompassing Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and indigenous Vietnamese beliefs.
