Handicapped ... but not begging

This handicapped man refuses to beg like others who are not even handicapped. He is selling postcards and books to tourists visiting Wat Phnom to earn a meager living. (Photo: Everyday.com.kh)

Physical diability will never restrict beautiful mind.
Everyone can make a living with minimal or some assistances,in his case attention and encouragement can lead him to a better prospect in life.

After all,we are the same great and small.
If you truely practice Buddhism,it says it all.

The result of the wars and the misleading.
Why we still want to have all these bad experiences ?
My mind the Opposition and of course the Authorities have done a very bad challenge for our country.
First of all, they are talking about the power and not to serve the country.

When I was in Poi Pet,I saw a Cambodian man who lost both of his leg peddle a wheelchair with goods using his arms to sell goods at Ronggleur market.

i think beggars are usually the people from the countryside like some distant, rural villages, etc. everyone ought to be educated to work hard, and not to beg for a living, you know! god bless them all.
