Wat Khmer Buddhist Temple — Local services in Los Angeles

I visited as a result of an unfortunate accident at the temple, resulting in death, so my first critique is that they, just like anyone that sees a fall resulting in a large lemon sized contusion and loss of consciousness, should have the mind to immediately call the paramedics.

I also have divided opinions on the pious leaders of this temple, as they do not take well to open questions on their practices; effectively putting down those that come from a different ethnic culture, that just want to know why certain things are done the way they are. In particular, the monk in the maroon robe (though not limited to) seemed to have deep, angry issues with said curious questions. To the point that it seems that the monks believe that they should listened to, no matter what without question, and ergo pedestaled, rather than explaining the beliefs and why they are relevant and forward, or even just historically/culturally driven.

They seem to promote those that already subscribe, but fail to educate those that are either there curiously, or by circumstances. Cleanliness of their space is of question too. Also, someone claimed to be the secretary of the temple, but did not really even know what the mission of the temple was.

But I suppose it provides some form of Support and community for the Khmer people of LA, so I’ll give them that. The community they provide seems very tight knit, and most of the subscribers seem more polite and patient than the monks themselves, so that was enjoyable. And lastly the expansion of their space will definitely give them a major uplift for visitors and frequenters to enjoy more room...

I like to share some thought regarding Mr Sokhom Hiek's. I think you have such a deep thinking about the human behaviors. But in this case, we are watching the thirsty blood whose dream to be recognized. Let be what they can be. Without dreams,there is no life!
