Ordained Monastics

The ordained monastics are members of the Sangha, the order of teaching mendicants originating from Buddha’s disciples 2,500 years ago.  From eldest to youngest, the members of the Sangha residing at Wat Dhammarangsi are:

1. Abbot Ven. Bhoga Tan
2. Ven. Noeung Nhang
3. Ven. Michael Tang
4. Ven. Tony Tang
5. Ven. Seoung Savi
6. Ven. Saravuthea Mom
7. Ven. Bunserey Rithy Kong

Ven. is short for Venerable, meaning an ordained religious official, who is worthy of deep respect.  In Khmer, we call such a person Preah-ong, as opposed to Lok for a lay clergy.
