The Government Committee for Religious Affairs of Vietnam's own report, published on religion.vn, of a ceremony marking the 105th birthday of Hoa Hao Buddhism's founder, bylined only with the initials PH. Its strength is that it is an official government body's account, independent of Hoa Hao Buddhism's own governing body, though it reports figures presented by that body's own leadership rather than an independently audited count. Its limit is the ordinary one for a single event report: it documents the ceremony as officially recorded, not an independent assessment of the movement's broader following.
