Isn't being a monk is to cut all keless! why talking about worldly live and about the enemy! If you follow the Buddha, do like him. Concentrate on learning the dharma and do not get involve in politic. The Buddha avoid politic and fighting at all cost. Even this Sakya clan was invaded and completely wiped out in his life time, he did nothing. He only say that it is their karma, nothing he should do to stop it.

Excellent "Bondam" not only for Khmer Krom, but for all Khmers outside and inside not to ignore that the Youns Vietcong is coming. Their ultimate goal from uncle Ho Chi Ming is to take the entire CAMBODIA sooner or later very patiently and very affectedly.

All ah Yuon always against monks, no matter where ah Yuon lives. Even in Cambodia ah yuon beat the monks which order by ah yuon Tep Vong, ah yuon Chanthol, ah yuon Nuon Nget, ah yuon Hok Long Dy, ah Khieu Sopheak, ah yuon Om Yin Tieng, ah yuon Chea Sim, ah Yuon Heng Samrin, ah yuon Hun Sen etc....
Because the only monks can keep khmer ID, and religion to survive as Khmer, so, Ah yuon can't swallow khmer land too fast., that's why ah yuon and its servants wanted to abolish all monk actions not to do anything, but eat and sleep, and keep the khmer's land for ah yuon to live on.

If you are ah khmer, you should't accuse the khmer Monks can't do this do that, that bullshit just for ah yuon only!

In Buddhism they call the law of karma, in the theory of evolution, they call it the law of survival of the fittest. So let the smartest and the strongest race survive and prosper. The stupid and the weak, die out and extinct.

Khmers consider Yuons like ennemy by mistake, we don't hate Yuons as much as that, in realty, we are afraid of Yuons because we know that if we are not careful Yuons will swallow us, but me, I belive that it is not as easy as that, Khmers are very strong and we will survive..

All mad dogs in this blogger seem to run out of ideas to defend their master. Look at their logic in their comments: pathetic and barbaric.
The global situation is going so fast, politically and economically.
It's the Good versus the Bad and the Ugly everywhere regardless racial, religious, creed however the Bad and the Ugly appear to be the loser all the time. Keep working and trust our judgment and conscience, we will get there somehow.

Thank you for the great Kam-nap. Great Poem!

====my message to the Vietcongs===
These barbaric Yuons are running around this blog like a mad dog!!!These Vietcongs are running out of decency and civilized manners to express their opinion, but to use low-blows and coward tactics against innocent Khmers.

Sad for Viet race!!!Wonder why the Chinese refer to the Viet race as the bandits, the outlaws, and the law-breakers. Good thing China chased them out of China!!!But the sad thing these bandits ran into Champa's homes and Khmers' homes.

to serve your country is praiseworthy but talking bad of particular race in general is not reflected of the teaching of Buddha. This would promote hatred and prejudice amongst mankind.

Dear all Khmers,

I know all of you love Khmers, that is you are all compatriots (both monks and ordinary people). "Yuons" is Yuon, history is history, we should better separate between the past time and for time bieing.

Why do we have to blame Yuons?_You blame Yuons because Yuons are stronger than you, that is your enemy is stronger than you. You always feel fear of Yuons, cursing Yuons, while Yuons seems never care about your blames.

If you really nationalists and love your country, let's unite and serve the country in any way you can, not just blaming Yuons or blaming your own Khmers because of Yuons.

I don't think our current leaders are pro-Yuons, or they love Yuons more than Khmers. I know they are Khmers and they love Khmers, including the PM Hun Sen, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, Sam Rainsy, Kem Sokha, Pen Sovann, Tep Vong, Sao Chanthol, Boukry, Buth Savong, the King and all royal family memebers. All of you and me are Khmers who have the same blood as Khmers and live in the same country as Kingdom of Cambodia. Why don't we unite to help the Khmers?

What i would like to paticularly stress here is that monks in Cambodia have the right to vote, so monks can have any political tendency. That tendency has been leading so far the Khmer monks to be under political influence, and that has been resulting some disvalues of the Buddhism. I would suggest monks not to be related with Politics.

Sure, I agree Buddhism is also Political Science, as many political theories are rooted from the Buddhism. But Buddhism in Cambodia since the last century is different from present day. I would say that "Cambodian Buddhism related politics may lead its buddhism ruined."

"If you blame your enemy, that means your enemy is more stronger than you"
"Do best yourself, rather than blaming the others who did"

To: Hean Padhi;

You must prove Dalai Lama of Tibet wrong then?! You must prove the Burmese monks who led mass protests in Burma recently wrong then?! You must prove the Islam religion in politics wrong then? You must prove Christian bible in most of the western countries' anthem wrong then? How about Pope John II who helped bringing down the Poland communist regime in Poland, you must prove this wrong? How about Vietnam itself is trying to oppress all of religious practices in Vietnam today? Isn't it because Vietnam is too afraid of religion?

In Cambodia, why then Hochimonk Tep Vong is at the top of Cambodia Buddhist institution? The CPP is playing real politics with Khmer religion by using Hochimonk Tep Vong to control Khmer religion and the ordinary Khmer monks are clearly victims here.

KHMER Angkor.

Hean Pahdi said...

To Khmer Angkor,

Good proof. I agree with you, but what i meant is that Buddhism in Cambodia is/will be impossible to change its politcal regime. Do you how many votes that the CPP got from Tep Vong and other monks during the last election?-Very littel count, so why you need monks in Cambodia do the same in other countries?

I don't think Monks Revolution could be happened in Cambodia, as before during Acha Swa, Acha Hem Chiev or Po Kambor.

Tim Sakhorn and other monks didn't act like Dalai Lama, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. But they infact just chaos the country!
