| Summary: | "This original video shows three types of religious rituls perfomed in a rural village. The first is a Confucian-inspired ritual performed by village elders in the village's communal hall. The second is a meeting of the Buddhist pagoda association, a group composed primarily of older women. The third is a sequence of spirit posession rituals. Teh video vividly demonstrates the complexity and eclecticism of Vietnam's tam giao, or triple religion -- Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism--as well as local beliefs." |
