History of Buddhism in Cambodia : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Buddhism in Cambodia Theravada Buddhism is the state religion of Cambodia, which has had been presented since at least the 5th century. ==Suvannaphum== King Ashoka sent missionaries to the land of Suwannaphum, which has sometimes been identified as the mainland southeast Asian region of Mon (now a stat in Myanma, the stat of Mon) and Khmer (now Cambodia) people. The Mahavamsa, a Sinhalese Pali chronicle, mentions these missions.〔(The Mahavamsa, chapter 12, translated by Wilhelm Geiger )〕 "Unconfirmed Singhalese sources state that Buddhism was introduced to Suvannaphum, or the 'Golden Peninsula', as mainland Southeast Asia was once referred to, in the 3rd century B.C. under the reign of King Ashoka, the great Buddhist ruler. According to these sources, two monks, Sona and Uttara, were sent to propagate the doctrine of the Master in this region following the great council of 274 B.C. held in Asoka's capital Pataliputta, India. While this mission may be legendary, it indicates that Buddhism has been present in Southeast Asia for a long time. Various Buddhist sects and schools, including Tantrism, vied or coexisted with a dominant Brahamanism and indigenous animistic faiths for centuries before the rise of the classical Southeast Asian empires beginning in the 9th century A.D. In part through Indian merchant traders, Indian cultural influence was pervasive in this early period. In Funan (1st to 5th century A.D.) the first organized Khmer polity, the Khmer people embraced not only the diverse Brahmanic and Buddhist religions but also the social customs and mores of India."〔Tully, John. ''France on the Mekong''.〕
