អាវក្មួយប្រុសរហែកត្រង់ក្លែកដូចអាវខ្ញុំកាលពី២០ឆ្នាំមុនដែរ កាលណោះខ្ញុំក្រណាស់ ខ្ញុំមានអាវមួយឈុតគត់សំរាប់ប្រើទាំងទៅសាលារៀន ទាំងទៅធ្វើពលកម្មនៅសាលារៀន ទាំងទៅចូលរួមបុណ្យទាន ទាំងទៅទទួលឥស្សរជនធំៗតាមបញ្ជារបស់សាលា និងទាំងការត្រៀមខ្លួនពេលណាដឹងថាអ្នកពីឆ្ងាយមកលែងផ្ទះ។ តែពេលខ្ញុំនៅផ្ទុះជាធម្មតា ធ្វើការនៅផ្ទះ ទៅស្រែ និងទៅឃ្វាលគោ ខ្ញុំប្រើខោខ្លីដោយព្រលែងខ្លួនទទេ។ តែពេលខ្ញុំមុជទឹក ខ្ញុំគ្រវែងខោខ្លីនៅលើគោក រួចលោតចូលទៅក្នុងបឹង ត្រពាំង និងស្ទឹង។

តែកុមារក្លាហានម្នាក់នេះ អាចមានសំណាងជាងខ្ញុំ ព្រោះគេមានស្បែកជើងពាក់ ទោះបីពូកែឡើងដើមឈើដូចខ្ញុំដែរ តែខ្ញុំមិនដែលស្គាល់ថាភ្នំពេញបែរមុខទៅណាទេ។ ខ្ញុំជាក្មេងកំព្រា រស់នៅតំបន់ស្រុកស្រែដាច់ស្រយាល លឺសូរតែសំលេងទីទុយខ្លែងស្រាក ហើយជានិច្ចជាកាលរំខានដោយសំលេងគ្រាប់កាំភ្លើងឆ្មាំងគ្នាឥតស្រាកស្រាន្ត។

អតីតកាលកន្លងទៅលឿនដូចផ្លេកបន្ទរ តែក្តីចងចាំនិងបទពិសោធន៍មិនដែលជ្រុះបាត់ម្តង ណាឡើយ។ ទោះបីទៅដល់ទីណា រស់នៅទីណា ឃើញការរីកចំរើនរបស់ប្រទេសគេយ៉ាង មហិមាដ៏ដោយ ក៏ក្តីនឹករលឹកភូមិកំណើត ជាពិសេសបទពិសោធន៍វ័យកុមារភាព នៅតែដិតដាមជាប់ដូចជាស្រមោលអន្ទោលតាមប្រាណអញ្ចឹង។

ខ្ញុំសូមបួងសួងអោយកុមារម្នាក់នេះ បានសំរេចគ្រប់បំណងនៃឆន្ទៈរបស់គេ ជាពិសេសការ ខិតខំរៀនសូត្រនិងការចូលរួមដឹងលឺបញ្ហាប្រទេសជាតិ-មាតុភូមិ។

Cambodia’s EAS Carrot: Incentives for a Successful Summit by Gregory Poling and Alexandra Sander

Comment: As a former student of public policy for my MA at the University of Hawaii, I am impressed by the comments made by Gregory and Alexandra in addressing some thorny issues Cambodia must accomplish as a chairman of ASEAN this year. Both authors argued that Cambodia failed shamefully on its mission to be neutral in previous meeting of Asian Ministerial Meeting (AMM) in July in addressing the dispute of South China Sea. Both authors suggested Cambodia to correct its policy framework and bring back fame to ASEAN in this upcoming East Asian Summit (EAS) this November. The authors shed light on Cambodia’s inclining dependency towards China rather than balance its policy between both powerful countries such as China and the USA. They stated that “the next few years could prove a watershed for ASEAN in its quest for centrality in regional architecture.”

However, I see that both authors don’t pay attention on internal issues which are crucial particle and concrete foundation as a host or chairmanship, Cambodia must ensure that she has willfully endorsed the democratic principles and tightly held an open-minded domestic political profession. If Cambodia couldn’t ensure that journalist Mom Sonando must be freed from jail and alter other accusations government rendered towards him, the government will have a roadblock within its feet. If Cambodia couldn’t ensure that key opposition leader, Sam Rainsy, can exercise his political rights and safely return back to Cambodia to exercise his presidency as the National Rescue Party (NRP) before next year national election, Cambodian government will have a roadblock within its feet. These two visible things and the chairmanship role model two authors addressed potentially deviates Cambodia’s collective success as an ASEAN chairman in this upcoming November of EAS.

Cambodia’s EAS Carrot: Incentives for a Successful Summit by Gregory Poling and Alexandra Sander

Gregory Poling (gpoling@csis.org) is research associate with the Chair for Southeast Asia Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. Alexandra Sander (asander@csis.org) is a researcher with the Chair for Southeast Asia Studies.

Cambodia will fulfill its last major obligation as this year’s ASEAN chair November 18-20 when it hosts the annual ASEAN Summit and seventh East Asia Summit (EAS). The EAS in particular will provide Cambodia with the opportunity to restore some of its credibility after the public embarrassment of the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting (AMM) in July. On that occasion, Cambodia used its prerogative as ASEAN chair to block the inclusion of any mention of the South China Sea maritime disputes in the joint communiqué at the end of the meeting, resulting in the organization’s first-ever failure to release such a document.

That failure cast significant doubt on ASEAN’s ability to evolve and tackle tough issues. It also caused troubling allegations, especially from Vietnam and the Philippines, that Cambodia had placed its close relationship with China above the interests of its fellow ASEAN members. All the damage wrought in July will not be fixed in three days in November. But if the EAS goes demonstrably better than the AMM did, Cambodia’s image will have a chance to recover and some of the ASEAN skeptics will be quieted. A successful EAS, and by extension a stronger regional framework in the Asia Pacific, is in the interests of all EAS members, including the United States. The key will be supporting Cambodia as an effective chair.

Lim Pisith: an inspiring young man of Cambodia

While Cambodian people around the world are mourning and remembering their august King Somdach Preah Norodom Sihanouk who passed away at the age of 90 on 15 October 2012, younger Cambodian generations are shocked by the death of Lim Pisith who championed to anchor Cambodian flag on the top of Himalaya mountain. Pisith came back to Cambodia with different body but his heart, bone and spirit are still Pisith, a farmer boy of Cambodia who is not defeated by the Shangri-La or a Himalayan Utopia of the world. He is among those champions of the highest top of deadly adventuring. In the pictures, his mother is hugging Pisith with love and sorrow and his remains will be altered at his hometown of Srok Puok, Siem Reap. Pisith will be missed by many of his friends and Cambodian compatriots.

May he rest in peace and realize the challenges of life Buddha taught, Nibbana.

The monks’ rice pot remains with the people, if the people are miserable, have nothing to eat, if they have no freedom, if they live as slave, monks will also feel the hardship pinch. Therefore, monks whose duty is to save the humans, must teach and encourage people to find food to eat, to find clothes to wear, to find freedom for their country, to find independence and total peace.

Tears of the people are those of monks.

Biography of Achar Hem Chiev

Posted originally by M. P.

Hem Chiev was born in 1898 to a modest farmer family in Oudong. At the age of 12, his father took him to study at Wat Ounalom under the guidance of Monk Chuon Nath who is one of his father’s friends. Young Hem Chiev studied well while serving monk Chuon Nath until the age of 16. Under his parents request, the young Hem Chiev decided to take the vow and became a monk at Wat Ounalom where he further expanded his knowledge of Buddhism under the guidance of monk Chuon Nath still.

At the age of 20, monk Hem Chiev was ordained as Bikkhu at Watt Langka. He then went on to pass the exam to enter the Buddhist Institute in Phnom Penh.

According to Martin Stuart-Fox (2006), “[t]he Buddhist Institute did encourage Buddhist studies, but it also stimulated wider studies into culture and history, folklore and language, which rekindled cultural pride that fed into the rising tide of nationalism. The failure of France to protect either Laos or Cambodia from losing territory to Thailand in 1940-41 had a similar effect. Monks took the lead in opposing clumsy French attempts to introduce romanised forms of Cambodian and Lao scripts. In Cambodia, the monk Hem Chieu, a leader in this opposition movement …”

Achar Hem Chiev encouraged his students to study hard to liberate themselves from the yoke of the French colonial rule. He also started the movement to preach Buddhism in Khmer rather than in Pali.

As a member of the French opposition, Achar Hem Chiev kep contact with other Khmer nationalists at the time, among them: Pach Chhoeun, Son Ngoc Thanh, Chum Moung, Nuon Duong, and Sim Var. They all worked to find ways to free Cambodia from the French rule.

Meanwhile, Achar Hem Chiev kept on his Buddhist preaching, among the most notable principles he preached are:

Do not be a man of burden to the world (i.e. be useful in life).
We must bring well-being to the present first because if we now have well-being, there will be well-being in the future as well.
You must work, do not wait for fate.
You can cross hardship only if you are determined.
You can only depend on yourself (i.e. self-reliance).
You must not frequent bad friends, you should not frequent friends with low life, you should frequent good friends, you should frequent people with high ideals.
Unintelligent people will bring you actions that should not be brought up, they always bring you chores that are not of concern, they are people who are difficult to teach and bring back to the right path, when they are told about good behaviors, they become angry, they do not know about rules, if you do not meet them, or see them, it is best that way.
You should not depend on someone else to feed you in life.
