.......thats cause Cambodia is not a Buddhist country and there monks are so far from Buddhist its not funny...
Cambodia is a bastardized version of Hinduism CROSS Buddhism, they are far removed from Mahayana path as they say, most the country is a waist when it comes to "monks" and "Buddhism" you cant blame them look at there history they have always bastardized Buddhism with Hindi bullshit go look at angkor wat.... ever since the kiong desecreated the Buddhist statues and chopped there heads of and replaced them with hindo gods.... you have Buddhists in Cambodia worshiping lord shiva.... it makes zero fucken sense and only in Cambodia does this shit happen.
Honestly as a Buddhist and having worked in a monetary in Tibet i can tell you 100% Cambodia has zero to do with Buddhism but they would have you think otherwise. Fuck me even the phnom phen museum don't know if its Hindu or Buddhist... thanks India and the old khmer empire !!!!!
