Caodai is a mixture of multiple religions and beliefs. In one of the slides, there was a carving of religious figures and many of those figures I recognize from Chinese movies. I wonder if there is a community of Caodaists in China and how it similar or different to the Vietnamese version. There was a part of the lecture that I was confused by, "Is there are almost no members of the communist party who are Caodaists"? After this lecture, I going to try and visit the Caodai temple in Orange County to learn more of this religion and it's close to my house.
I think an interesting assignment for students would be to visit/research a religion that they dont have any previous knowledge about and then have them present it to the class.
