Answer 1

HEYA MATE,

HERE IS UR ANSWER.

Thanks for asking this question.

A twenty-year-old visionary, Huyen Phu So, founded the Hoa Hao Movement, in Hoa Hao village in 1939. A Buddhist reform movement, which developed a military wing, Hoa Hao believes itself to be a continuation of the Buu Son Ky Huong (Strange Fragrance of Precious Mountain) sect which was started in Vietnam in 1849. This continuity notwithstanding, Hoa Hao integrates its own interpretation of the Mahayana tradition with the traditional cult of the ancestors (see Mahayana Buddhism).

Hoa Hao refuses to accept the idea of an institutionalized order of monks separate from lay people. Thus, even the most dedicated of followers live in the world with their families and do not follow the monastic practice of shaving their heads. Like the Santi Asoke community of Thailand and the Won Buddhist movement in Korea there are no statues of the Buddha in Hoa Hao temples. Moreover, there are no symbols on the movement’s rectagular, brown flag.

I HOPE IT HELPS U.
