Trees transformed into ‘sacred monks’ through ceremonial ordination
Mon, 8 March 2021
One dozen saffron robes resembling those worn by Buddhist monks had already been placed on the forest floor near the tall wild trees before a few hundred campers assembled at Prey Lang where a tree ordination ceremony was taking place this past February 14.
This year’s tree ordination ceremony was celebrated with Ministry of Environment officials, provincial authorities, staff members from civil society organization and NGOs, environment ministry forest rangers, monks, students and citizens from a diverse array of backgrounds as well as reporters from various media outlets.
