PREFACE

          Buddhism had been introduced to Vietnam nearly 2000 years ago. Vietnam is one of the Buddhist countries in South-East-Asia, The majority of its population are Buddhist, judging from the custom of their daily life. Buddha’s Teachings spread throughout every part of the country and influence on culture, custom, and phiosophical way of life.

          The doctrine of Buddha is deep and lofty. It cannot be described in one single book or two. The purpose of this Short Introduction of Buddhism in Vietnam, written in English, is to present some of the main points of Buddha’s Teachings and a brief account of Buddhist history in Vietnam to the readers who are already more or less acquainted with the fundamental idea of Buddhism, sty effort has been also directed towards offering as brief as possible for the benifit of foreigners who are now working in Vietnam, unable to read Buddhist books in Vietnamese language, knowing somethings of Buddhist activities.

          It is hoped that this book will be found useful by the foreign readers in particular and by the public in general.

          Constructive criticisms either on general mat­ter or on points of detail will be greatly appriciated.
