Research on Fundamental Values of the Traditional Religions in Vietnam

Abstract

Religions emerged from a very early age and could exist independently with political institutions. The significant impacts of religion on human being, society and culture have led to recognize that religions as social entities of the social sciences and politics. This has created the new changes in the perception of religion in general and of religious values in particular. This article examines and clarifies the basic values of the traditional religions in Vietnam in terms of ethic, education, and history.
