A Vietnamese religious and philosophical movement that blends Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Catholicism into a unified spiritual system.
From Vietnamese Cao Đài, meaning 'high tower' or 'supreme being,' coined in the early 20th century. The -ism suffix indicates the religion as a complete belief system or movement.
Caodaism is one of the world's youngest major religions (founded 1926) and represents Vietnam's unique spiritual genius—it deliberately tried to unite all religions as one truth, which was remarkably progressive for that era.
