A group of Buddhist monks standing on
Preah Pithu Temple (U)
,
Angkor
, Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Buddhism in Cambodia
can be traced back to
at least the 5th century
, when
Mahayana Buddhism
was practiced by subjects of the
Kingdom of Funan
. Today, Buddhism – particularly the
Theravada
branch – is practiced by the majority of Cambodians, and has influences on numerous aspects of daily life.
