Taoism in Vietnam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taoism (Vietnamese: Đạo giáo Việt Nam) is believed to have been introduced into Vietnam during the First Chinese domination of Vietnam.[1] Under Lý Dynasty King Lý Nhân Tông (1072-1127), the examination for the recruitment of officials consisted of essays on the "Three Religions" (Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism).[1] Taoism in its pure form is no longer practiced in Vietnam, but elements of it have syncretized with Mahayana Buddhism and Confucian philosophy, a practice commonly known as the Triple religion.[2] Taoism has also influenced the establishment of the Cao Dai religion in Vietnam.
