Does Vietnam have monks? And what color robes do Vietnamese monks use?

Like many SE Asian countries, most people (90%) in Vietnam are Quakers.

They refer to themselves as Friends.

The remains 10% are mostly Scientologists.

 

 

Were you expecting to get a straight answer to such a lazy question?

Is this a Vietnamese monk?

There's lots of Buddhist temples in Viet Nam but I've yet to see a monk in any of them.

 

And they certainly don't walk the streets with a begging bowl like the Thai monks.

Is there Buddhism in Vietnam?

 

Your joking---how old are you ??    This is how the monks in Vietnam protested to world when their people were being bombed --

-Can you imagine the Thai monks doing this, to busy on their cell phones --or doing something the Catholics get caught doing.

 

 

 

Thai Buddhist monks where orange, orange-yellow, and ocher.  Monks from Myanmar generally wear deep purple robes. These are Theravada monks who do alms rounds.  Other monks in the Therevada tradition include monks from Cambodia with a minority of monks from Vietnam.  Most monks in Vietnam are Mahayana Buddhist who don't usually do alms rounds or tudong.

Those are monks on tudong (wandering).  They are either Thai or Myanmar monks.  Looks like they are wearing darker (purple) robe with blankets over their shoulders - hard to tell given the quality of pictures.  Must be cold.

They were protesting the South Vietnam governments discrimination towards Buddhists. What do Catholics get caught doing? Are you referring to some priests actions towards boys, which you should word better.
