RELIGION IN CAMBODIAN
Buddhism is the official religion of Cambodia. Approximately
97% of Cambodia's population follows Theravada Buddhism,
with Islam, Christianity, and tribal animism making up the
bulk of the small remainder. The wat (Buddhist monastery)
and Sangha (monkhood), together with essential Buddhist
doctrines such as reincarnation and the accumulation of
merit, are at the centre of religious life, but interact with
indigenous beliefs such as the central role of ancestors and
spirits.
