The most common description of the supernatural landscape in Vietnam makes a distinction between Buddhist and non-Buddhist 'sides'. The 'Buddha side' is the focus of this investigation into the intersection of gender, power, and religious praxis. Employing an anthropological approach that takes into account modes of action that are not only socially constructed and contextual, but also negotiated by the actors, this uniquely explores how gender and age affect understandings of what it means to be a Buddhist.
