Ancestor worship plays important portion of Vietnamese spiritual life. After passing away, Vietnamese people believe that, the body dies but the spirit of their beloved family member still alive, stay to support in the future. To worship is to communicate with the dead people and ask them for advices.

Who are the heroic ancestors?
By virtue of their worthy deeds, heroic ancestors, such as Tran Hung Dao and the Trung sisters, continue to exist and be worshiped in temples for many generations beyond the two or three of ordinary folk. Their rectitude is a model to guide the behavior of the living.

What about ‘bad’ ancestors?
All ancestors are worthy of respect and reverence, regardless of their behavior as living beings. However, the misdeeds of a wicked family ancestor will be visited upon his or her children and grandchildren in the form of bad luck. This is a powerful influence upon the behavior of the living, influencing them to behave well and do good deeds in the present, thereby endowing their living and unborn children with good luck in the future.
