Original report from Phnom Penh
13/07/2007
Monks from a Buddhist foundation have begun moving through primary schools in Phnom Penh, seeking to teach greater morality in what they see as a culture in decline.
The monks—from the Foundation of Education, Culture, Peace and Non-Violence—teach children the five precepts of Buddhist morality: do not kill living things, do not steal, do not lie, avoid sexual misconduct, "refrain from intoxicants which lead to heedlessness."
The precepts are to be followed by laymen and taught by monks, part of the "Three Gems" of Buddhism.
Monks told VOA Khmer they had seen a decline in Cambodian morals and were seeking to bring them back through schoolchildren.

First and foremost, I would like to proudly declare that I'm a true Buddhist; in fact, the tradition was customarily passed on to me (from my parents), therefore, I'm relatively and elatedly proud to practice Buddhism. Having said that, let me say this: I'm not afraid to curse at Tep Vong (this bastard does not deserve to be called “Patriarch” or “Supreme”). Further, I have two words for comrade Tep Vong: "Fuck you!" Your egregious and hideous complicity against "Khmer," particularly pregnable Khmer Khrom, is ignominiously and unacceptably disservice to our motherland. Moreover, remember, your days are numbered! You will be anathematized by our people.
Again, comrade Tep Vong, go fuck yourself. I have no respect for a monk like you.
You (Tep Vong), your demise is imminent, and when that occurs—I would like to spit on your grave on behalf of all Cambodian people!
May Buddha bless all Khmer people and its motherland!
Truly,
Fuck you, Tep Vong
