QUESTION: Within your faith, what is the difference between
the levels of Saint, Sage and Buddha? What do those terms mean to you?
ANSWER: Cao-Đài considers all prophets equally great, but
the ways (faiths) they found in order to lead humanity in their spiritual
cultivation are classified according to this low to high level:
1- the way of humanity

people would live in a harmonious community. This level of cultivation is
dealing mostly to individual cultivation so that an individual would fulfill
his/her duties toward parents, siblings, spouses, family, community, etc.
