Summary of Khmer Monk Education in the Thai Border Camps by Peter Gyallay-Pap PDF
This is a study on the current conditions of monk education in Khmer refugee camps and the role of Buddhism in the psychological survival of refugees. The study begins with background information on the role of Buddhism as a centering force in rural Khmer society. The author notes that Buddhism was a primary target for destruction by the Khmer Rouge regime between 1975 and 1979. He examines the situation of education in the border camps, giving special attention to the organization of the religious life within the camps and the communication between the monks in the major camps. The daily schedules of the monks are presented, as well as the curriculum and quality of the monks education within the camps. Various international efforts to improve the educational situation for the monks are described. In addition, the study examines the lay devotee nuns. The author goes on to discuss the specific situation of the monk education problem in the three major camps: Site 2; Site B; and Site 8. The study concludes that international support for Khmer Buddhist Sangha in the border camps has become increasingly recognized as a way of addressing the psychological and social problems of the displaced Khmer. The appendices include: statistics on the Khmer Buddhist Wats in the Thai Border camps in April-May 1990; a report of the programme activities and proposals developed by the Khmer-Buddhist Educational Assistance Project (KEAP) with and on behalf of the Khmer Buddhist monks in the Thai border camps; an English summary of Ven. Hok Savann's three talks to Khmer monks and novices at the University of Massachusetts in January 1990; a background paper providing an overview of the history of Buddhism in Kampuchea; a selected bibliography in Western languages of Buddhism in Kampuchean and South East Asian culture and politics.
