Undertaken by Allison Truitt in 2006, this project documented activities taking place at the Belle Chase Buddhist pagoda Chua Bo De and the Trung Tam Phat Giao Van Hanh of New Orleans East. There are four recorded interviews of community members in Vietnamese and English and photographs of activities at both locations.
