What can Buddhism do to heal the wounds of the world? What did the Buddha teach that we can use to heal and elevate the human condition? One of the Buddha’s most courageous acts was to walk onto a battlefield to stop a conflict. He did not sit in his temple waiting for the oppressors to approach him. He walked right onto the battlefield to stop the conflict…
We Buddhists must find the courage to leave our temples and enter the temples of contemporary human experience, temples that are filled with suffering. If we listen to the Buddha, Christ or Gandhi, we can do nothing else. The refugee camps, the prisons, the ghettos, and the battlefield will then become our temples. We have so much work to do.

i just wondering how many temples have been built since UNTAC left cambodia? how many monks in cambodia today ? in other word, please help hunger children on the street. stop promoting the religion. build a shelter for unfortunate pples instead of build luxury temple. save children life instead of your own faith. thintk about our children in next generation instead of believing you life will go to heaven.
CPP traitor clan is doing it again and again for the VC to enjoy hahaha, VC and all their crooks said 'ah Hun is our dog, when we tell him to sit, he sits, and when we tell him to kill, he kills, hahahaha....now, we are trying to create another group to fight against their people like always, hahahaha and in the end, we will have it all like always e.g we took Laos, Champa, Khmer Krom and now the whole srok khmer, hahaha, ah Hun and his clan will be history like always, hahahaha'.
Hun Sen just look into the past and you will see the future e.g where are our predecessors gone to now? Dead! but for some, they went to heaven, while others gone to hell as they were traitors and so are we soon to come too. But before we go, what have we done? they lied to us once, twice but don't make it three times or else, this time, we will be finished. This time, there is no turning back. Please let go of your power for once, for the benefit of our nation. Please, isn't 30 years in power enough already? How many more khmer lives have to go before you are finished?
Time for change is now. therefore, you need to make some sort of agreement for change, that is to help CNRP to win before it is too late. You need to learn to help each other because, together, we are strong!. Please, don't listen to outsiders no more and say enough is enough, you need to look into the past and then, you will see the future, they done before and they will do it again and again until we are finished, but it is not too late yet, so please wake up, because right now, you are being brainwashed by those crooked people and you need to get out now, before it is too late.
We khmers are much better than them, we must not adopt their way of life because they are full of lies, deceiving and manpulation. They make sure we are doomed, so that they can have it all. But God knows, what they are trying to do and is trying to wake us up, by not allowing us to go throught the trapped over and over again. Khmers have suffered for four hundreds years now. Therefore, it is time for unity and forgive each other for all of our past wrong doing, 'Together we stand, but divided wel fall', that is all.
