Cao Đài Temple

Cao Đài temple in south Seattle, September 2019. Caodaism is all-inclusive, and the pantheon includes Muhammed, Moses, Lenin, Shakespeare, Louis Pasteur, and Joan of Arc.

 

The thing that looks like a teapot at the apex of the gate is a collection of symbols: The red is an ancient text called the Spring and Autumn Annals; the yellow is an ascetic's charity bowl, and the blue is a feather duster for purification.
