His Holiness Samdech Maha Ghosananda passed away last year, March 12, B.E.2550, C.E.2007 Year of the Boar in North Adams, Massachusetts, United States of America.
His funeral and memorial services were held for about one month at Wat Triratanaram, North Chelmsford (Lowell) in Massachusetts. Many Buddhist monks, devotees, included international guests attended. Some Buddhist monks and devotees did not have a chance to pay their final respect then.
His holy body has been transported from Wat Dhammikaram in Providence last Saturday to Wat Triratanaram.
The Holiness Samdech Maha Ghosananda was born in Takeo province, Cambodia [during the colonial French era, where France colonized this nation for almost 100 years].
He established the first Khmer Buddhist temple, Wat Dhammikaram, in the United States of America. He is well known to the international and national communities. He is the father of peace and Dhammayatra in Cambodia. He is one of the important figures in the peace negotiation for Cambodia to end the conflict that led to the Oct. 23, 1991 peace agreements on Cambodia. Then the UNTAC or UN-organized historic national elections that we [Cambodia] have today with multi-party system.
If you missed attending His funeral and memorial services in 2007, this is another chance. He had sacrificed and accomplished so much for Cambodia, Khmers, and Buddhism, especially world peace.

Please do not try to steal Wat Triratanaram from Khmer people in Massachusetts.
Again, despite Khmer is Khmer, they do not own each other houses, cars, temples, or lands.
7:53pm,
Accusing someone of stealing is a thing, unless you have evidence.
If you do, show it to the world.
Buddhist temple is a place of worship.
Only inner peace can win you and me.
Death can bring nothing with you.
H.H. Maha Ghosananda could not bring anything with Him.
However, he leaves a good name and legacy for other monks and Khmers to continue.
You could do the same.
I am learning to do the same.
There are bigger things that await you and me to help, Cambodia.
Fight with enemies, not with your own [race].
5:04, Khmer community or individual build temples for their community only, not the entire world. So long you don't forget that, you'll be alright.
