[Anumodana] 2022 Sunhak Peace Prize Founder’s Award for Khmers Great leader

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

[Anumodana] 2022 Sunhak Peace Prize Founder’s Award for Khmers Great leader

Post by Samana Johann »

(As a test - not sure whether welcome - my person suggests a lable "Anumodana", meaning "invitation to rejoice with good deeds and benefical achievements of others and appreciation of such". Of course such would only merit in regard of actually participate in sympathic joy and praise, to gain same or even higher merits. So good that, if thinking deserves blame, or simply not so good preoccupied, to use new or other topic on it.)

Yes, this is cause to celebrate.

Often told on this site is the story of how he put together an army of 1700 men, in order to save the nation of Cambodia. He had no money for boots and uniforms so he had
to go to Vietnam for help. It was a war zone so if he had a gun they would shoot.
Maybe they would shoot him anyway but he put the gun down and went with courage.
He got the uniforms, put together an army, and saved Cambodia for Cambodians.

Actually it's because not use war to gain peace, but by an old saying by the Sublime Buddha, that there was, in addition to personal merits, and is, most astonishing success:
Dhammapada

'He insulted me,
hit me,
beat me,
robbed me'
— for those who brood on this,
hostility isn't stilled.

'He insulted me,
hit me,
beat me,
robbed me' —
for those who don't brood on this,
hostility is stilled.

Hostilities aren't stilled
through hostility,
regardless.
Hostilities are stilled
through non-hostility:
this, an unending truth.

Unlike those who don't realize
that we're here on the verge
of perishing,
those who do:
their quarrels are stilled.
And the beloved Pali 'slogan' (which is of course meant for peace beyond): "N'atthi santi param sukham", 'No happiness as that of peace".

Well, it was long ago, before your time.
He did not use war to gain peace.
He used war to gain survival.

So he knows war, and is the one qualified to work for peace.
