General Association of Buddhists
- General Association of Buddhists
The General Association of Buddhists was a Buddhist organisation formed in South Vietnam in 1951, regarded as the leading Buddhist organisation in the country. It was prominent during the 1963 Buddhist crisis, a period of demonstrations and political instability which led to the deposal of President Ngo Dinh Diem. After the fall of Saigon, it effectively became outlawed under the communist government, who created their own Buddhist organisation under government control.
