All prayers ought to be translated in Khmer for the ordinary Khmers to understand.

Hey KI-Media,

Though Buddhism is the official religion of Cambodia, and has been for a long time, there is a big section of Cambodian population of other faiths, at home and oversea, that we rarely hear about on this blog. What's going on?

I don't know your blog is aimed toward reaching all cross-section of Cambodian of different faith or not. But if you are, perhaps you should includes, every now and then, articles about other faith as well. Though some of us embrace other faith, we are still Khmer and feel connected to fellow Khmer.

Just a thought, because I'm a regular reader of this blog, and outside of Buddhims, you guys seldom post news of other faith.

Officials accused of pillaging villa

Tuesday, 11 May 2010 15:02 Thet Sambath

FORMERLY well-heeled resident of Russey Keo district says that local authorities robbed her of hundreds of thousands of dollars in jewellery and removed US$2 million worth of property last week while serving a Supreme Court warrant to evict her from her villa.

Hang Borey said $60,000 in cash and $260,000 worth of jewellery were removed from her home during the raid on Friday, along with $2 million worth of other property.

“They removed all my property – I’ve lost everything now,” Hang Borey said. “I was not informed in advance about my removal from the villa.”

Hang Borey said her partner, Yors Sokuntheary, purchased the villa in 2007 from the brother of its Chinese owner, who was serving a jail term overseas. She added, however, that she never received a land title or a deed to the property. Hang Borey says that after the original owner returned to Cambodia, he took her to court in 2008 to get his property back, and that the Supreme Court ruled in his favour earlier this year.

The home’s original owner has since transferred his rights to the property to Sok Kong, president of the Sokimex development company, Hang Borey said. She added that she had filed a complaint against Sok Kong to Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Russey Keo deputy Governor Koub Sleh said district officials were simply following the Supreme Court’s ruling.

“I have no right to talk about the court’s decision. We were just following the court’s warrant,” he said.

Phnom Penh Municipal Court deputy prosecutor Hing Bunchea said he had not seen any money or jewellery lying around the house when local officials entered to serve the warrant.

Sok Kong could not be reached for comment.

khmer monks and temples building are increasing. but khmer people knowledges are decreasing because of khmer monks used bali and sangskred to teach them.Therefore teachings of khmer monks to the khmer people is useless.That means
khmer people can feed the khmer monks but khmer monks never give back the benefits.

please, correct thought

Prayings or teaching in bali is blowing the wind into the cow's ears.

I can tell from these pictures there is a lot of intelligible teachings being transferred to the listeners.

Look at the first picture on the very top. Seems like someone spent a fortune on this speechless golden statue.

There are plenty of orphans in Cambodia where that money can be put to better use.

If these monks can truly give blessings then they would not need to take alms would they? It is an oxymoron.

If I understand this correctly the monks give blessings and the people offer alms. A bartering system. I got it!

Non-boudhist why you stay here on earth ?
Your god is waiting for you,
join your god, go to paradise,
boudhist stay here,
even after we die we will come back on earth,
Boudha is go on, he cannot help us.
Communism and Capitalism killed Khmers.

No Buddha could not help. He died just like everyone else. Plus he never claim to come back to life, and he did not.

In Buddha's life time he could not help people either. He ran to an isolated place and meditate to escape the suffering of this world.

Sorry Cambodian people. Buddha cannot help you.

You have seen someone dies and comes back ? You must be crazy to belive that. If belive you go to paradise after you death, you already gone. This means you don't belive your it at all.
At least Boudha leaves DHAMA, how to live with others.

NO God can help people. It's people themselves are their own helpers; they are their own refuges. Those Khmers who insult Buddhism, which has been deemed as one of greatest religions, are no better than wild animals. Can some of you Khmers who have got lost in the jungle of religions practice your new belief without insulting your old one? If you can't, then you yourselves are the Satins.

Budhhism is a religion of Buddha, Buddha is a great philosoper, his Dharma is slightly different from Hinduism and Brahmanism.

Jesus Christ proclaims that he's the son of God, if you believed in Christ, you will be blessed and experienced with the Holy Spirit i.e. miracle will definetely happen to you! you don't have to recite any mantras, just believe! and it will be taken care of!
Christ lived in India, Kashmir, before he died in Kashmir not on the cross and Christ preach peace and if you look at the document in Tibet monestary they talked about Isha or Jesus Christ and he's Maitreya?

Living morally according to Buddha teachings in combination of believing in Christ will definetely a plus, plus, for all of us. No need to blasphemy or talk bad about either one! BTW, Islam is a good religion as well providing you have a little tolerance (forgive & forget) toward your ennemy.
