  • Description: In this chapter I consider a religious group that has sought to revitalise the teachings of a Vietnamese sage. The group under examination is known as the School of Teaching Goodness. The chapter first introduces the founder of the School, his students, and their key rituals. Attention is paid to the leader’s experiences of the spiritual world and how the students transformed their individual beliefs into that of a school. It then analyses how the School has successfully challenged local authorities’ attempts to control it. The final part of the chapter investigates the School’s motives for re-creating the past, its associated agenda, and its justifications for the continuing relevance of a sixteenth-century postfeudal mandarin’s moral and religious thoughts.
