 Dr. Mohammad Jahangir Alam, Lecturer at the Department of World Religions, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, also a specialist in Caodaism, just informed that his department has approved the Cao Dai religion course to be included in the curriculum for third year students of the M.A program, starting with this academic year 2008-2009. The number of students registered for this course is 35, which is, according to Alam, a small number because the course is new, but hopefully this number will increase in the following academic years based on his estimate and discussion with the students. |

Written by Janet Hoskins

 Caodaism, born in French Indochina in 1925, is a syncretistic blend of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Catholicism. The fall of Saigon in 1975 brought an exodus of refugees, and the religion of Caodaism, to the state of California. In "The Left Eye of God," Caodaists share firsthand accounts of Vietnam’s painful history and discuss their hopes for Vietnam and the United States.

What is the meaning of the HO PHAP altar at the Cao Dai Holy see in Tay Ninh ?  The altar consists of five semi-circular steps surmounted by three thrones (exactly one throne and two pedestals).
