AB - This study examines the patterns and meanings of everyday Buddhist practices among Vietnamese marriage migrants in the Ulsan region from the perspective of the lifeworld, based on surveys and interviews. The findings show that their Buddhist practices are characterized less by temple-centered collective participation and more by family- and individualcentered forms of lived religion. Participation in temple activities was generally low, while religious practice was carried out flexibly according to everyday circumstances. Some participants maintained household Buddhist altars or devotional spaces where they engaged in daily worship and prayer. In addition, Vietnamese-language ritual texts were used for chanting Avalokiteśvara’s name and reciting the Great Compassion Dharani. These practices functioned not only as religious activities but also as cultural practices that sustained the religious traditions and everyday customs of their homeland. Household altars, in particular, served as symbolic spaces for preserving cultural memory, family continuity, and identity. This study contributes to the understanding of familycentered Buddhist practices among Vietnamese marriage migrants and demonstrates that household altars and Vietnamese-language ritual texts function as lifeworld practices through which cultural identity and everyday culture are maintained.
