More than 300 Cambodian-Americans in Lowell, Massachusetts, decided Sunday to boycott all religious services at their local Buddhist temple
in response to the head monk’s support for a female layperson who was
allegedly caught on video having sex with a Cambodian monk, a local
official said.
Hundreds of people have protested over the past two weeks after the
video was posted on YouTube allegedly showing the monk, Nhem Kim Teng
from Svay Rieng province, with local layperson Maya Men, who is employed
at the temple.
“The community decided to boycott all religious events because the
head monk there refuses to dismiss the woman and she remains resident
inside the temple,” Lowell city councilor Nuon Veasna said by telephone
yesterday.
According to Mr. Veasna, the head monk dismissed Nhem Kim Teng—whose
U.S. visa he said expired Monday—from the temple last Thursday, but his
location was unknown.
“We have made an official complaint to the Ministry of Cults and Religion,” he said.
Phnom Penh’s chief monk Khem Sorn said he expected the Buddhist
hierarchy would meet soon to decide what action to take over the
allegations.
