The venerable is the 21st laureate and the first Southeast Asian to be presented with the award.

This is political monk who tries to show his stunt to promote his name. He doesn't care about Buddhist religion but act himself as political activist.

This in an idiot monk who uses religion for his personal gain. He does want to go back to Cambodia to stand up with people who are still suffering there everyday. This idiot monk has not done anything to help his people but fools people, and that because Most of Cambodians beleive that monks are god. People wake up stop supporting these monks who use Buddha name for personal gain. You want to be a monk because you want to let of all desires, all monks supposed to meditate and the mind, make yourself free of all karma so you (monk) will not be reborn to pay back all the karma you have created in your previous life. Please somebody who has enough courage to stand up and preach to these lay men that this monk is wrongly practicing the Buddha religion.

9:46 AM, you are the idiot for having a pigeon's brain. You may have two eyes, but you are so blind. I am wondering how a monkey like you can read and write. This monk is right 100%.

Here is a quote for ignorant people:

He who leans but does not think is lost but he who thinks but does not learn is very very dangerous.

Ven. Luon Sovath gave a clear aspect on how Buddhism has evolved from the past to the present. Cambodian Buddhist monks must not be silented by the idiot politics, they must wake up to practice the Dhamma like what Ven.Saccamuni has talked.

Bravo Ven. Luon Sovath
