"The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, forgiveness." ~His Holiness The Dalai Lama
 

his holiness samdech MAHA GHOSANANDA

Supreme Patriarch of Cambodian Buddhism (The Gandhi and the Gem of Cambodia)
His whole life for the Khmer Nation, Buddhism and Peace (May 23, 1913 - March 12, 2007)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our journey for peace begins today
and every day.
Each step is a prayer,
Each step is a meditation,
Each step will build a bridge.

Samdech Maha Ghosananda became my inspiration since
I first met him. The world lost one of the most important figures and a hero when His Holiness, the Supreme Patriarch of Cambodian Buddhism passed away. Although Samdech Maha Ghosananda has already departed from this earth, I will continue to keep the flame burning and remember him forever. I would like to pay His Holiness my gratitude by dedicating this Wall of Remembrance to honor him till the day I die...Truthfulness, Forbearance and Gratitude is the ultimate teaching His Holiness would like
to pass on to all beings. May the teachings of Lord Buddha guide you through all walks of life... Jendhamuni Sos

A proud buddhist

 

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist.

"My religion is very simple.
My religion is kindness"

"The whole purpose of religion
is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, forgiveness."
