Op-Ed: Leadership Skills
Dear Cambodian Compatriots;
- Although supreme patriarchs issued direction for monks not to participate with the demonstration, hundred of them came out to the freedom park equipped with ribbons, lotus flowers and yellow umbrellas. Photo Courtesy: Facebook
Today, Cambodia has witnessed the new chapter of its history in nation building process: transforming the culture of violence into the culture nonviolence. I have read this phenomena very long time ago and I am looking forward to seeing its transcendence. Putting aside the prolific speech of Sam Rainsy, president of the CNRP, at his convincing statement at freedom park: "today we are not only witnessing the protest against injustice but we are embracing the new culture of Cambodia: the Culture of Nonviolence", I am convinced by the peaceful environment of the mass demonstration and the many thousands enthusiastic participants.
Those demonstrators have played good role model of well-informed citizens and well-disciplined political activists to other Cambodians countrywide. The security armed force has also demonstrated their understanding on how to perform duties properly and appropriately. Both demonstrators and policemen have demonstrated maturity and they are on the verge of "well-informed citizenship and well-disciplined political professional".
- Freedom Park was restricted to 10000 participants by the authority while the CNRP asked for 20000 participants, but the real scene has been claimed of half million participants. Photo Courtesy: Facebook
For the preconception of the civil rights and liberty, those who have restrained from all types of abuses such as physical abuses, financial abuses, sexual abuses, verbal abuses and psychological abuses, are considered REAL ACTIVISTS of CHANGE; they are the CATALYSTS for CHANGE. Violence is the change resistant. Violence is stemmed by greed, hatred and delusion. Nonviolence is blossomed by giving or sharing, compassion and wisdom.
In the past, Lord Buddha built democracy by the march for Freedom and Enlightenment. To succeed this goal, He implemented the nonviolence method diligently, intellectually and effectively. Every time, He addressed the audience of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathy, and equanimity. The core stanza of his teaching is "No Other Happiness is Greater than Peace, Nibbana is the Greatest Bliss".

We must believe strongly on the effectiveness of this message: the message of PEACE. The mantra of PEACE and the mission of spreading PEACE have carried more weigh in bringing benefits to human beings. It doesn't only help to disperse FEAR but also to increase CONFIDENCE and TRUST. Cambodian people especially YOUTHS have embraced this mantra since the DAWN of election campaign, and we should not allow the DUSK of this embracing mindset diminish from this beloved wonderful land.
With Love and Peace,

I like this phrase very much:

Peaceful protest and complete obedience led to the slaughtering of more than a million people by the Khmer Rouge. The Civil Rights march in the US was completely different from the situation of having a puppet dictator dictating people's lives in Cambodia. Some countries in the southeast asia region had dictator removed by way of meaningful protests where either the people, military, or the kings applied pressures to remove the authoritarian or dictatorial men from power.
Ghandi and Ho (the vietcong) gained their countries' independences with their distinct, individual, different struggles and ways.
Ah samdach dek cho had to run to the vietcongs to ask for support in a violent protest to fall the monster Pol Pot. He did not pray for nirvana.
Now that he himself has become the power-greedy monster, and worst yet, one who does not mind if the whole country is sold, people are led to believe that he would be stepping down by peace chants?

Hun Sen didn't run to the VC asking for support to oust the KR - he had run to Vietnam to save his own skin due to the wholesale purging of KR military cadres suspected of having Vietminh roots. The rest of your statement is worth thinking about.
KI MEDIA,

Both of you are equal.
KI should keep everything that people said. This way, we know that KI is a good site for info for everybody.
Political should not relate too much to religion, because it makes political weakness.
Especially Buddhism religion (non violent religion) when use non violent against violent (CPP) it won't work.
If you all afraid you never see the real Free Dom for the rest of your life and it go down to you kids and your grand kids.
Who said Buddhism is always non-violent? Traditionally.
Chinese Buddhist monks namely Shaolin monks were king makers. The Cambodian dictatorship would have a hard tiem with the Burmese monks.
