Located in the center of the giant stone statue resides a large golden statue illustrating the power of the Buddha.
If we look closely we see that behind the statue is hundreds of hands each with an eye symbolizing that the Buddha is all seeing.
In this picture, we see a Vietnamese Buddha spreading his message to a group of followers.
This photo was taken during a CaoDai service. The members can be seen bowing in prayer as several other members play traditional Vietnamese music.
About 10 kilometers outside of Tay Ninh, there is a large Catholic community. As I explored some of their churches, this statue caught my eye as evidence of the strong Catholic presence that remains in rural southern Vietnam.
One of the of the first Catholic churches I saw as a I drove around Tay Ninh.
