Trích Con Đường Thiêng Liêng Hằng-Sống của Đạo Cao Đài, Chương 2-3

Over 80 years ago, a new religion was founded with the name Cao Đài in the country of Au Lac (Vietnam) and has quickly grown to become the third largest religion in this country. Cao Đài recognizes that the ultimate goal of all true religions is the same; to teach humankind to live peacefully and compassionately with all sentient beings, and to realize our divine origin. The term Cao Đài literally means “Supreme Palace,” referring to the place where God reigns over the universe, and was also the name God used to impart Hiers divine instructions in the creation of Cao Đài. Followers of Cao Đài believe that Venerable Ngo Minh Chieu was chosen by God to establish the Cao Đài religion. It was believed that God directly transmitted the teachings and method of practice to Venerable Ngo Minh Chieu until he attained the ultimate self-realization.
