Tin tức mới nhất về: Hieu Nghia Ta Lon Buddhism

(DTTG) - Abstract: This article clarifies the characteristics of the scriptures and doctrines of Hieu Nghia Ta Lon Buddhism - an indigenous religion that emerged in Southern Vietnam in the early 20th century. The religious system does not have many scriptures, mainly inherited from Buddhism (such as the Sutra of Salvation from Suffering, the Universal Gate Sutra) and the works of Nguyen Ngoc An (Philosophical and Sacred Teachings, Religious Law), with content focusing on encouraging self-cultivation, teaching moral conduct, emphasizing filial piety and social responsibility. In terms of doctrine, this religion is a fusion of the Three Religions (Buddhism - Confucianism - Taoism) and folk beliefs, with the core principle of “learning Buddhism and cultivating virtue”. The teachings emphasize filial piety, righteousness, and the practice of the Four Gratitudes (gratitude to the country, ancestors and parents, the Three Jewels and fellow human beings). The path of spiritual practice primarily involves cultivating morality, living a virtuous life, maintaining close ties with family and society and is well-suited to life in the South (Vietnam).
