Wikipedia's article on Buddhism in Vietnam, community-edited. Reliable for the standard, well documented account of the Indian monks Mahajivaka and Kalacarya arriving at Luy Lau near the end of Han emperor Lingdi's reign; not the right source for the earlier, genuinely disputed theory of direct Indian contact as early as the third century BCE, which the article itself names as a live disagreement rather than a settled fact.
