The famous elephant in my homeland, Cambodia, to retire after offering rides to tourists for 3 decades

Xinhua — Sambo, the internationally famous elephant known for years as one of capital Phnom Penh's most famous attractions, will retire to northeastern Cambodia's Mondulkiri province this week, an owner and officials said Tuesday. The 54-year-old female elephant will go to live at the Elephant Livelihood Initiative Environment (ELIE), situated inside the Seima Protected Forest in Mondulkiri province on Saturday.

    Why the word "freedom" is applicable only for the human being ? Very pathetic. Good morning Jendhamuni Sos.

    Just remember the trunk taking pineapples gently from my hand. You deal with a real spirit and personality.

My Reflection

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. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.
