Hoa Hao

Hoa Hao is a Vietnamese Buddhist religious movement founded in the 1930s by Huynh Phu So, emphasizing ethical living, social service, and devotion to Buddha. It promotes a focus on personal morality, community aid, and spiritual practice, integrating traditional Buddhist teachings with a strong sense of Vietnamese cultural identity. Hoa Hao followers often organize communal activities, prayer sessions, and charitable work, aiming to foster harmony and moral integrity in society. While it primarily operates in Vietnam, it is recognized as a distinct branch of Buddhism with its own practices and religious leaders.
