Hoa Hao Buddhists worship ancesters and Buddha at home as the main place of worship, which normally is the living room of the
house. In Vietnam every Hoa Hao Buddhist house has a two level altar. The lower level is dedicated to the altar of ancestors while the upper level is for worshipping
Buddha, Darma and Singha, called 'Tam Bao', the "Most Venerable Three". In front of the house, there is an Open Altar.

The method of repeating the name of 'Nam Mo A Di Da Phat" originally was recommended by the Sakhyamuni Buddha
when He began His Mission which Lord So Phu Huynh passed on and said is suitable to most people nowsaday because it helps the practitioner always remind
themselves of the Way of Buddha to follow. A Di Da Phat is the name of a Buddha who the Sakhyamuni Buddha said had made a vow when He became Buddha that
every living being who keeps repeating His Name all the time without their mind being disturbed will be rescued by Him on their death, and sent to His Paradise to
complete their training, in order to return to carry out His Mission to save the world. The Salvation is conditional only on dedicated repetition and
repentance despite the sins which the practitioner had committed in the past. (Poem)

The above photo is about the sampan which had allegedly been used by Lord So Phu
Huynh disguised as an Old Ferry Person around the six provinces as He mentioned in the first volume of His "Oracles" before He launched His
Mission. The sampan is now put away as a relic. |
The short film about a Refugee Boat
The film was composed as an experience as a freedom seeker. The dragon
is like pirates which kept attacking the boat.
