Cao Dai, also known as Caodaism, is an interesting and unique religion native to Vietnam. The religion was founded in 1926 during a transitional period when traditional Vietnamese religions and beliefs met with Western influences and French colonialism. Cao Dai is a faith that harmoniously blends elements from the major religions and philosophies of the east and the west. This integration of diverse religious tradition embodies Cao Dai's core values of unity, harmony and peace. To date Cao Dai has approximately six million followers worldwide, primarily in Vietnam and among the Vietnamese diasporas. I had a delightful time on 23 August 2024 attending the vegetarian fundraising dinner to support the construction of the Cao Dai temple in Fairfield, which serves many of my Cabramatta constituents. I thank Mr Cong Minh Mai and the NSW Council of Caodaist Association for its kind invitation. I look forward to witnessing the completion of the temple and the lasting positive impact it will bring to our community.
