Cambodia - Chinese ReligionFree online information regarding Chinese Religion, CambodiaMahayana Buddhism is the religion of the majority of Chinese
and Vietnamese in Cambodia. Elements of other religious practices,
such as veneration of folk heros and ancestors, Confucianism, and
Taoism mix with Chinese and Vietnamese Buddhism. In the Chinese home, ancestors and household gods are honored
during prescribed times to help unite the extended family and to
gain help from the dead, who can intercede for the living. Taoism
teaches meditation and the use of magic to gain happiness, wealth,
health, and immortality. Confucianism, part social philosophy and
part religion, stresses religious ritual and pays great attention
to the veneration of ancestors and of great figures of the past. Chinese Mahayana Buddhism has become intertwined with Taoist
and with Confucian beliefs. Adherents honor many buddhas, including
the Gautama Buddha, and they believe in a paradise after death.
They also believe in bodhisattvas--people who have nearly attained
nirvana, but who stay back to help save others. Data as of December 1987 |
