Lok O Kong Kea
FOUNDER OF THE EISEY FOUNDATION
Kong Kea is a spiritual father and lineage holder of the Khmer Eisey tradition whose life bridges survival, devotion, and restoration. Through Somaya, he carries forward a living transmission that endured one of Cambodia’s darkest eras and continues to guide seekers today.
After leaving the police force, Kong Kea withdrew for extended periods into the jungle, dedicating himself to deep meditation and disciplined practice. In solitude, he committed to reviving a traditional Cambodian Eisey sect that had been nearly obliterated.
In collaboration with Somaya, Kong Kea is working to establish and fund the Eisey Foundation, an initiative devoted to safeguarding this ancestral lineage, supporting committed practitioners, and ensuring that authentic teacher-to-student transmission continues for future generations.
“Spiritual knowledge must be lived, protected, and passed on.”
