Cambodian New Year in Maryland

The Cambodian community in the DC area is around 5000 members. There are bigger communities in the US, in Massachusetts (Lowel) and in California. Here we are at Vatt Buddhikarama in Silver Spring, Maryland, close to the nation's capitol Washington DC for the Khmer New Year festivities on April 12 and 13th 2008. The temple is famous for the high and good Buddhist education of its monks, attracting for the New Year some folks from the area but also some coming from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York.
