The Vietnamese Buddhists are of the Pure Land sect. They pay homage to Buddha and to Kwan Yin, the female Bodhisattva of Compassion. They believe in a heaven of sorts, the Pure Land. Of course they chant in Vietnamese and have certain rituals similar to other Buddhist sects. I have attended a Vietnamese Temple. They welcome other sects to their services, including Tibetan and Zen adherents.
