Remembering Venerable Dong Hem

November 23, 2015

Never forget the day I asked my grand uncle Venerable Dong to show me the lotus pond so I could see the most beautiful pink lotus flower I’ve been looking for, nearby my grandma’s house in Cambodia .

 

Venerable Dong, my 95-year-old grand uncle just passed a way today, November 23rd, 2015 at 1 P.M [1 A.M. US Eastern time]. Venerable is my late grandma’s little brother, the youngest child in their family. He was a very healthy Buddhist monk. But he had to leave us due to old age… ~Jendhamuni

Every meeting led to a parting, and so it would, as long as life was mortal. In every meeting there was some of the sorrow of parting, but in everything parting there was some of the joy of meeting as well. ~Cassandra Clare

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.

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
