A Cambodian community in Minnesota celebrated a three-day Buddhist ceremony this month, with a groundbreaking ceremony for a new stupa to hold Buddha relics at Wat Munisotaram.
The ceremony, held from 14 to 16 August, marked the 21st anniversary of the pagoda, in Hampton, Minnesota. The Buddha relics to be housed there came from Sri Lanka, which shares Cambodia’s Theravada Buddhism traditions.
Forty-five monks from Khmer, Bangladeshi, Laotian, Thai and Vietnamese temples in the US, Cambodia and Canada attended the ceremony.

Please turn yourself to God!
Dumb!!! Each nation has its own belief which it does not want to change. You are getting lost, dude.
If you have tons of sin that you do not hope any god can help you, then you got to depend on Jesus Christ, because He can save you from your sin, and can keep committing sin. In contrast, the Buddha won't be able to save you from your sin. You are your own master and you yourself will suffer the consequences of your own evil acts. Is that clear.
please think of your Khmer poor in Cambodia. Helping Khmer poor is making you feel much better than this.

9:10 AM and 11:02AM.
Turn to preah Se-A-Metreya and he is Christ. If what 9:10AM said is true we won't be told about the judgement day or sassna pleung chhess karl.
I think the dead, evil, preay beisach and the living Buddhists and the dead, evil, prea beisach and the living NON-Biddhists
will be all subjected to hell or heaven on judgement day or sassna pleung chhess karl.
Another dumb. Do not let belief fool you. What can harm a person the most, a belief can do the same. If you don't help yourself, no god will help you. You are your own master, fool!
Poster 9:10AM/5:08AM is ah Hun Sen alike the way she or he writes.
Eh ah Hun Sen alike 9:10AM/5:08AM, ah P'norng. My post is 11:08 PM, I didn't insult or call you a dumb or fool, why do you do that ah Hun Sen ah peal, ah T'mat?
Who the fuck are you? I only expressed my beliefs, you can disagree with mine but you don't have to copy from ah Hun Sen ah kvack choy Youn. Mother's fucker, ah runteas banh.
Ah T'mat. Keep your dumb and fool in your mother's hole and don't go around and call everybody dumb and fool, get it ah ott pouch?
what do you want me to call you, ah fool?
...and you ah pleu eng try to insult my religion. If that is your intention, I have no choice but to call ah pleu getting lost in belief.
. . .if you want to see face to face I will handle you ah pleu. I live in Long Beach.
I live next your house Ah jkout 11:15am! i usually fuck your mother at midnight bitch! and your ass will be next...
Oh your mother pussy is not bad...
Ah. mi yukomBatpsar, ott pouch ambo 11:07 AM,
YOu called me now I called you ah choy m'day reign. ah choss norork choy youn.
You do not even know who you are. You are geeting lost, ah pleu. You think I have never be a Christan like you ah pleu, ha? I was one in 1984 and I even got trained to be a church teacher for Khmer too. Right now even if I never go to any church, but watch Joel Osteen, Dr Richard, or Mrs. Joice Meyer every week. And you know what? Their teachings are quite different from yours, ah pleu who know only "God creates the world and therefore we must believe in God." As for Dr. Wayne Dyer, the wll-known philosopher of these day, I can hear him mention some Buddha words or his Indian teacher's in almost every time he teaches. But you ah pleu, you insult your own tardition as soon you ah pleu open your libs, ah pleu. In my houses, I have many books, some of which are about religions and I also have a very big holy bible since 1984.
Keep counting your books ah Hun Xen 11:15PM. Ah choy your mother, stop telling everybody you are Buddhist then go around insulting people. Ah Hun Sen ah reign claimed to be Buddhist but go around insulting every body? Ah reign not only plee pleu, but reatarded choy kandouy mae ah reign. I didn't curse ah choy m'day reign why did you curse me, ah Hun Xen choy m'day reign.
Ah jkourt ah t'mil.
Jkourt like ah reign no God or Buddha can save you ah choy 'm'day reign.
Buddhist fucking going around cursing people?
Hi ordinary Khmer or 11:15 PM or few of your nasty posts.
What are you now? Don't tell us you are Budhist.
So you read books, does it mean you are wise man? No you are not. People read s many books but many are still going crazy just like you. Like other poster said you copied exactly like Hun Sen.
"Treat people the way you want to be treated."
Readers see that you deserve to be called ah Plee Pleu and ah Jkourt../
you ah pleu should cuss me; ah Hun Sen does not call you ah pleu, why you cuss him; he's your ah pleu's side.
...and here is my last comment in case you ah pleu come back for my advice. Let me tell you ah pleu if you are not Khmer, but you fooled around and found a view like this. This view is the view of Khmer people celebrating their traditional ceremony. And Khmer people who are Buddhists never go knocking people's door from house to house, begging them to belive in their religion. Buddhists are very open-minded; they don't care what religion you believe in.
