ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnamese communal temples (\u0111\u00ecnh l\u00e0ng) were primarily established with two functions: (1) as a state-patronised institution to organise and control the village politically and culturally and (2) as a place of worship of village deities and meritorious predecessors. Both functions interact and complement each other \u2013 in many cases, the second serves as both a \u201cmeans\u201d and \u201ctechnique\u201d to deploy the first. However, nowadays the administrative role is no longer available; instead, the spiritual aspects are on the rise as a response to the increasing interaction of Buddhism, Caodaism, and folk beliefs as well as the impact of economic development and urban migration. Village elders learn to organise the temple into a communal socio-cultural institution, whereby cross-village temples have formed a cultural nexus of \u201cpower\u201d. This study finds that while several transformed into the form of \u201ctemple of heroes\u201d, T\u00e2n Ch\u00e1nh temple has been mobilised and transformed into a civic \u201creligious and socio-cultural centre\u201d at the grassroots level. The socio-economic background of the area has caused such transformation. While the practical demand for communication and emotional exchanges among village members vividly ensures the continuity of the temple\u2019s tradition, the loss of direct state control paves the way for its transformation. Both continuity and transformation govern the current religious activities of T\u00e2n Ch\u00e1nh temple but there is always a challenge to compromise and integrate these two directions. However, the remaining function of god worship by which rituals are performed as \u201ccultural agents\u201d still binds the villagers together and gives them access to crossing boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
