The Cambodian government had decided to bring back home to Cambodia, the body of Maha Ghosananda who passed away in the US on 12 March, at the age of over 80-year-old. He will receive religious rites according to Cambodian tradition.
According to a letter from the government office dated 21 March 2007, the government directed the Ministry of Religions and Cults to cooperate with Dr. Hok Savann, a Cambodian monk in Canada, to receive Maha Ghosananda’s body from abroad, and to organize the religious ceremony.

Somdech Maha Ghosananda is Cambodian hero Buddhist monk.
He is our role model for the 21st century.
All of us has to respect and remember Somdech by practicing what Somdech has taught us.
The head monk escape Cambodia from HS intermidation. Now HS want him back.
The CPP don't used religion in
politic, like the SRP (Super Retarded People) does. This has
nothing to do with Somdach Hun
Sen. If we want to stay in the US,
you ain't gonna get any argument
from us. Comprendre?
The supermonk TEP VONG ain't gonna be happy about that....
