Abstract: Buddhism is a major religion in the world, it was born in India 2600 years ago, and has spread to many countries, including Vietnam and Thailand. Due to the same origin, the image of Buddha in Thailand and Vietnam has many things in common, and is closely associated with the culture of worshiping the great Brahmanical gods. However, in the process of migration, combined with the different cultures between countries, the image of Buddha and the Great Brahmanical God has had differences between the two countries. In this article, the group of authors focuses on clarifying the image of Buddha and the Great Brahmanical God in the original Buddhist temples of the two countries of Vietnam and Thailand, thereby comparing the differences between them to understand the religious culture of each country.
