Cao Dai (Supreme Being / Highest Power) created the universe through the interaction of yin and yang. The Mother Goddess (Dieu Tri Phat Mau) gave birth to all beings. God has revealed truth progressively through three eras, with Cao Dai as the Third Era of divine revelation unifying all previous religions.

Five prohibitions (killing, theft, lust, luxury, lying). Teachings synthesized from Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam. Seance-based revelation.

To reunite with God through spiritual cultivation, return to the celestial realm, and contribute to the unification of all religions in the Third Era. The ultimate goal is escape from the cycle of reincarnation and return to God.

Suffering results from karma accumulated across lifetimes, distance from God, and the entanglements of the material world. The Third Era of revelation offers new opportunities for liberation. God's compassion continuously reaches out to suffering beings.

The Third Era will see the unification of all religions under Cao Dai. A final period of judgment and renovation will occur. Souls that achieve liberation return to God; others continue reincarnating. Ultimately, all beings will return to the divine source.
