Buddhism arrived to the Viet peninsula more than 2000 years ago and has since become an integral part of Vietnamese history. This book is for readers interested in learning about a religion and a belief that has greatly influenced the life, literature, and arts of the Viet people. Although Confucianism has been dominant for seven centuries from the Trn dynasty to the Nguyn dynasty, Buddhism with its profound spirituality has consistently thrived throughout the ups and downs of Vietnamese history. Buddhism, together with Confucianism and Taoism, form the three faiths that laid the foundation for ethics and morality in all different aspects of Viet society. Pht-Gio Vit-Nam chronicles the impact of Buddhism in Vietnam from its first introduction to the Viet peninsula in the 10th century to its continuation in the mid-20th century. Through the lens of history, architecture and literature, we will see and understand the "miracles" of Buddhism. Understanding Buddhism in each period of history will reveal how Buddhism was truly practiced within Vietnamese society.
