In Cambodia, there is an unusual effort underway by Buddhist monks to replant forests devastated by war and clearing by loggers.
This is important to them for both religious and environmental reasons. The monks, like others, believe that trees may help counter the effects of climate change.

Venrable Nhem Kim Teng understands about life and the environment which is supportig lives.
This is a leading role for better living,health and environment.
Though buddhism, monk learns about life through understanding(Bothi) of human being(a study of humanity)
taught by Buddha through Dhamma. Pali was universal language written in dhamma.
Monk is supposed to be in better mental state. when some monks(in robe) behave inappropriately according to morality, someone is to blame. Directly individual is responsible for misbehavior, or the higher monk does not know how to enforce the practice of buddhism.
Culturely, many perceives buddhism by tradition butnotthe knowledge of practical buddhism.
Attaching to social concepts or social norm, driving monk out of seeking the truth(universal laws)but adapts to reality(where good and bad are always eventuated).
There are lots of sacrfices in monkhood for better and desirable outcomes to the disadvantages(who lack of physical needs or psychological needs or knowledges).
Buddha sets a path of walking away from power and greed. He was a king where he accesses to all physical comfort but not spiritual comfort.
In cambodia, many circumstances that hiarachy monks comfort with power, body guards and exessive materialised. Thus values of morality and respect aredrifting away from the heart of cambodian.
In principle, no one destroys buddhism but the one who are closed to it. Buddha was awareof that. And awareness has been alerted at all time by buddhism.
Causes of destruction is stubborness and abuses due to lack of understanding. So much more in it.
Applied buddhism we do need.
