  6. The kind of thoughts we nurture

    204 September 30, 2013

    Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture. If our thoughts are peaceful, calm, meek, and kind, then that is what our life is like. If our attention is turned to the circumstances in which we live, we are drawn into a whirlpool of thoughts and can have neither peace nor tranquility. ~Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

    26 September 2013 – I am pleased to introduce the report of the Secretary-General on the role and achievements of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in assisting the Government and People of Cambodia in the promotion and protection of human rights which is A/HRC/24/32 and covers the period between July 2012 and May of this year. During this period, OHCHR continued to work with the Government and the people of Cambodia in a number of key areas such as rule of law; prison reform; fundamental freedoms; land and housing rights. And we also expanded our work on the issue of business and human rights. Read the full report in English | Khmer. We hope that Cambodia will embark, as promised, on an ambitious programme to reform of some of its key institutions which are fundamental for the promotion and protection of human rights, including the judiciary and the National Assembly. OHCHR will continue to remain fully committed to supporting the Government and the people of Cambodia in this important endeavour. Read the statement in English.

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.

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.
