Additionally, the study seeks to unravel the benefits of upholding the five precepts, as well as the potential consequences of transgressing them in both the present life and the afterlife. Furthermore, the paper aims to explore the diverse interpretations and understandings of the five precepts prevalent among Khmer Buddhists, providing insights into the multifaceted nature of ethical principles within this community. By shedding light on the significance of moral ethics and the specific focus on the five precepts within the Khmer context, this research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the moral and ethical landscape within the Khmer Buddhist tradition and its potential implications for promoting peace and happiness on a global scale.
