Ah Ho,Sihanouk,Mao are communism,they are killers.They have detroyed our Buddha since 1970.

"A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker." Buddha


"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him." Buddha

Sarcastically yours,

Passer-by
