Dhamma Kamboja

Dhamma Kamboja ('the Dhamma of Cambodia') is in Roluos Village, Trapaeng Preah Commune, Prey Chhor District, Kampong Cham Province, in a rural area about 112 km from Phnom Penh and about 20 km north-west of Kampong Cham city. The centre's site describes it as the relocation of Cambodia's first Dhamma centre of the same name, developed in the mid-1990s. The present centre held its first course in 2015 and can accommodate 125 students. It is one of two centres in this tradition in Cambodia; the Vipassana Organization of Cambodia, an NGO registered in 2016 with an office in Phnom Penh, handles their legal and administrative affairs. Every year it holds 10-day, Satipatthana and children's courses, conducted by Cambodian assistant teachers, including some from Europe and the USA, and occasionally by assistant teachers from abroad. Instructions are given in Khmer and English. As of October 2026 the schedule also lists 3-day and 20-day courses for old students, Anapana courses for children aged 8 to 12, and separate courses for teenage boys and girls. From Phnom Penh, follow National Highway 6 and then National Road 7 from Skun; at the Troeung roundabout (kilometre 106) turn left onto National Road 71, and after about 6 km the centre's sign is on the left, 1 km down a small road.
