VOA Khmer

Venerable Loun Sovath, a multi-media Buddhist monk from Siem Reap, has been using videos, poems and songs to defend poor people who face forced eviction in urban Phnom Penh and rural areas. Sovath’s advocacy touches powerful economic interests and he is under constant threats of being defrocked and prosecution. VOA Khmer's Mem Kinseng in Washington skypes with Venerable Loun Savath in Geneva, Switzerland.

Rev. Loun Savath is now in a high profile, he can reform Buddhism, brings back Buddhism to life.

All religions are good, they teach us to love one another, but individuals are the ones who created chaotic/anarchy among each other and manipulated the transcripts/story lines to kill each other instead.
