Phat Chan Mony Ratha, president of the institute’s office of traditions and customs, told Khmer Times that the speakers will be selected based on the quality of research they submit on Buddhism, Khmer language, history, and many other fields of study.  “Their research should be 10 pages maximum because they will only have two hours to speak to the audience,” she said, adding that the research will subsequently be published in Kambuja Soriya magazine. “This program should be a great opportunity for researchers to share their experiences with each other,” said Ms. Ratha.

by Khouth Sophak Chakrya, Phnom Penh Post, 19 January 2016 Phnom Penh, Cambodia  -- Pailin province’s chief monk, along with other monks, yesterday visited the Pailin Provincial Prison to “educate” the prisoners through dialogue. The chief monk, San Ly, said that under a new program monks will visit the prison regularly to reach the prisoners on a spiritual level, develop their understanding of their misdeeds and encourage good deeds instead. The monks will preach Buddhist principles and pray with the prisoners. “Our mind is a hot ball – it is very flammable; anger will lead us to commit crimes, so we have to calm our minds. Then, we will be happy and free,” said Ly. He added that the program also promotes the spread of Buddhism in Cambodia. Prison officials said that meeting with the monks at least once a month will be mandatory for all inmates.
