Being Vietnamese-American, I thought I knew a good amount about the Vietnamese culture and community. I was sorely wrong. Caodai has never even crossed my radar even though I am Vietnamese and live in the largest community of Vietnamese outside of Vietnam. I guess you can say I practice Caodai at home because my family pays homage to our ancestors and we frequent the Buddhist temples???
After seeing visuals of Caodai temples, I have seen many of these temples in Vietnam but I always thought those we just Buddhist temples. I think I can use my own confusion about religion with my students. I want to be able to compare things my students know and things they would never even considered.
