Great lessons for High School as an example of the creation of a modern religion and its spreading from Vietnam to others areas. Students would be able to research and present on the nationalistic tendencies of the religion during the french colonial period coupled with influences from Masonic, Catholic, Buddhist, and Islamic traditions. The use of hybrid and new symbols and rituals could also be of interest. This is an interesting modern often overlooked example of how religions are created morphed and can travel globally.
