Most ethnic Vietnamese would describe themselves as Mahayana Buddhists, but theirs is a very different Buddhism to that practised elsewhere in mainland Southeast Asia. Buddhism came to Vietnam from the north, by way of China, as did the other major belief systems of the Vietnamese, Confucianism and Taoism.
