Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the translation of the holy teachings of CaoDai, a new faith founded in Vietnam, with the goal to unite all religions in harmony and peace. CaoDai believes that all religions have the same divine origin, have the same ethic based on true love and the golden rule, and are just different manifestations of the same truth. CaoDai is a unique religion originating in Southeast Asia, which recognizes God as Source of the Universe and all souls, origin of all religions, Who manifested differently in different epochs and is called by myriad Names. CaoDai is a universal religion, which considers all religions One. It teaches human beings, who all have sprung from the same Source, to live in harmony, love, justice and peace; to enjoy universal sisterhood and brotherhood; and to cultivate themselves to seek and be reunited with God in their hearts. CaoDai propounds that God has come and expressed Himself in a new Way, Dai Dao Tam Ky Pho Do (The Third Salvation Of The Great Way), or the CaoDai religion, in 1926 in Vietnam. The immediate goal of CaoDai is to show human beings that all religions have indeed one same origin and one same principle, which is love and justice. If human beings would stop discriminating against each other because of difference in religions and treat each other with true love and justice (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you), there would soon be unity of all religions with religious understanding and tolerance, and subsequently harmony between humanity and peace on earth. The full name of the Supreme Being is Cao Dai Tien Ong Dai Bo Tat Ma Ha Tat, in which CaoDai originates from Confucianism that means the Supreme Being, Tien Ong means Immortals, Dai Bo Tat Ma Ha Tat means the great Buddha. The whole name of the Supreme Being embraces the three main religions of the East.In 1926, the Supreme Being gave the following message: Nhien Dang Co Phat (an old time Buddha) is Me, Sakya Muni is Me, Thai Thuong Nguon Thi (an old time Immortal) is Me, Who is Cao Dai. In founding CaoDai, the Supreme Being teaches man to realize that all religions have one same origin, and not to discriminate against each other but to love each other as brother and sister, to cultivate self to find God in one's heart.A spiritual message has said: "Out of Love and Mercy, out of respect for life, I have founded the Great Way's Third Revelation to save the earthly human, to help the virtuous attain a world of peace and avoid reincarnation to the earthly world of suffering." CaoDai offers two ways of practice: 1. Exoterism or cultivation according to humanism: a CaoDai disciple, while conducting a normal family life is: a. to complete duties toward self, family, society, country, living beings, and nature. b. to practice good and avoid evil. c. to show kindness to nature, plants, animals, human beings, and to avoid unnecessary destruction of any creature, recognizing that they all have the Supreme Being's spirit and are part of nature's cycle. d. to observe five Precepts: do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not get drunk, do not sin by word. e. to practice vegetarianism at least ten days per month. This is a way to purify one's body and spirit and to promote love by avoiding killing living beings. f. to participate in ritual acts of devotion and worship to the Supreme Being. There are four daily ceremonies, at 6:00 a.m., noon, 6:00 p.m., and midnight. At least one ceremony per day at home is performed.2. Esoterism: While a disciple performs his duties toward humanity and ispracticing vegetarianism for at least ten days per month, he may be guided in the practice of esoterism with meditation as a major exercise. The goal is to progressively eradicate the inferior self and develop the divine element within the self, reaching toward oneness with the Supreme Being.

Book excerpt: Get out! Run! We must leave this place! They are going to destroy this whole place! Go, children, run first! Go now! These were the final shouts nine year-old Kim Phuc heard before her world dissolved into flames—before napalm bombs fell from the sky, burning away her clothing and searing deep into her skin. It’s a moment forever captured, an iconic image that has come to define the horror and violence of the Vietnam War. Kim was left for dead in a morgue; no one expected her to survive the attack. Napalm meant fire, and fire meant death. Against all odds, Kim lived—but her journey toward healing was only beginning. When the napalm bombs dropped, everything Kim knew and relied on exploded along with them: her home, her country’s freedom, her childhood innocence and happiness. The coming years would be marked by excruciating treatments for her burns and unrelenting physical pain throughout her body, which were constant reminders of that terrible day. Kim survived the pain of her body ablaze, but how could she possibly survive the pain of her devastated soul? Fire Road is the true story of how she found the answer in a God who suffered Himself; a Savior who truly understood and cared about the depths of her pain. Fire Road is a story of horror and hope, a harrowing tale of a life changed in an instant—and the power and resilience that can only be found in the power of God’s mercy and love.

Download or read book The Divine Eye and the Diaspora written by Janet Alison Hoskins and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2015-02-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between syncretism and diaspora? Caodaism is a large but almost unknown new religion that provides answers to this question. Born in Vietnam during the struggles of decolonization, shattered and spatially dispersed by cold war conflicts, it is now reshaping the goals of its four million followers. Colorful and strikingly eclectic, its “outrageous syncretism” incorporates Chinese, Buddhist, and Western religions as well as world figures like Victor Hugo, Jeanne d’Arc, Vladimir Lenin, and (in the USA) Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism. The book looks at the connections between “the age of revelations” (1925-1934) in French Indochina and the “age of diaspora” (1975-present) when many Caodai leaders and followers went into exile. Structured in paired biographies to trace relations between masters and disciples, now separated by oceans, it focuses on five members of the founding generation and their followers or descendants in California, showing the continuing obligation to honor those who forged the initial vision to “bring the gods of the East and West together.” Diasporic congregations in California have interacted with New Age ideas and stereotypes of a “Walt Disney fantasia of the East,” at the same time that temples in Vietnam have re-opened their doors after decades of severe restrictions. Caodaism forces us to reconsider how anthropologists study religious mixtures in postcolonial settings. Its dynamics challenge the unconscious Eurocentrism of our notions of how religions are bounded and conceptualized.

Download or read book The Quiet American written by Graham Greene and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “masterful . . . brilliantly constructed novel” of love and chaos in 1950s Vietnam (Zadie Smith, The Guardian). It’s 1955 and British journalist Thomas Fowler has been in Vietnam for two years covering the insurgency against French colonial rule. But it’s not just a political tangle that’s kept him tethered to the country. There’s also his lover, Phuong, a young Vietnamese woman who clings to Fowler for protection. Then comes Alden Pyle, an idealistic American working in service of the CIA. Devotedly, disastrously patriotic, he believes neither communism nor colonialism is what’s best for Southeast Asia, but rather a “Third Force”: American democracy by any means necessary. His ideas of conquest include Phuong, to whom he promises a sweet life in the states. But as Pyle’s blind moral conviction wreaks havoc upon innocent lives, it’s ultimately his romantic compulsions that will play a role in his own undoing. Although criticized upon publication as anti-American, Graham Greene’s “complex but compelling story of intrigue and counter-intrigue” would, in a few short years, prove prescient in its own condemnation of American interventionism (The New York Times).

Download or read book The First Vietnam War written by Shawn F. McHale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shawn McHale explores why the communist-led resistance in Vietnam won the anticolonial war against France (1945–54), except in the south. He shows how broad swaths of Vietnamese people were uneasily united in 1945 under the Viet Minh Resistance banner, all opposing the French attempt to reclaim control of the country. By 1947, resistance unity had shattered and Khmer-Vietnamese ethnic violence had divided the Mekong delta. From this point on, the war in the south turned into an overt civil war wrapped up in a war against France. Based on extensive archival research in four countries and in three languages, this is the first substantive English-language book focused on southern Vietnam's transition from colonialism to independence.
