His Most Ven. Sovannapanno Thach Suon was born in Kampuchea Krom (former territory of Cambodia). His holy body will be transported back to his hometown from the United States.

He fled Kampuchea Krom due to human and religious rights oppression and crackdown in the 1980s by communist Vietnamese authorities.

France transferred Kampuchea Krom to Vietnam on June 4, 1949.

Templenews TV and staff have the final opportunity to capture the activities at the services.

We wish to share these auspicious and sad events with you, your family, Buddhist clergies, and our beloved compatriots.

Loving Kindness and Compassion,

Templenews
