採用馬克思主義意識形態為宗教動員理想狀態的人是被存疑的;然而，在特定環境中的集體社會，這兩個矛盾的信仰找到解決之道，共生和共存。本主題研究在越南共產主義和佛教之下，慈善組織和獨裁政權之間協同作用的可能性。透過探索該國歷史、傳統文化的魅力之下，研究者亦探討這兩股權力不得不尋找在不同時期共同目標的過程。

The ideal of religious mobilization in those who adopt Marxism ideology seems to be skeptical; however, in a collective community, within the particular circumstance, the two contradict beliefs find their resolution to survive, work and develop together. The study on Vietnamese Communist and Buddhism indicates a possibility of a synergetic relationship between philanthropic organizations and authoritarian regime. The process that the two powers had to search for the mutual goal in different periods will be explored through the country’s history, under the allure of traditional culture.
