Vision of the High Priest, Chuon Nath (Cambodia) 1. "Strong people never have the destiny to impose their destiny on others, and the strong nation is firm enough to impose no fate on other nations." . A strong society is because of a strong society. Strong people are highly educated people. The right education is to teach not only skills but also training in ethics. The Greek philosopher Plato says that "knowledge becomes useless if the purpose of knowledge is unethical." Only knowledge is not enough, but knowledge of the unification of people is called real, lasting, and intense. What can we learn from Khmer ancestors, especially Khmer scholars in the twentieth century? 2. All Khmer youth know that Khmer from the past was a warrior warrior, but not everyone knew how to properly do nothing. In the Khmer version of the Khmer Genealogy, "the nation's self-knowledge" is valued. Who is this nation? Where? Who was it How glorious is it? In this song, Khmer scholars awaken to Khmer souls: "[Khmer] listen to the background that negotiated the Khmer race." Aristotle says, "Self-knowledge is the beginning of wisdom." What to do to know yourself? Socrates responds, "To know ourselves, we must spend time searching for ourselves." Young Cambodians need to rethink who they are. Why so Khmer? Why break up unity? And as a new generation of young people, what else needs to be done? The end of the Khmer genealogy ends with the phrase, "Commit to working hard to solidify our national unity in our appreciation of Khmer values ​​..." So, should we value Khmer alone or foreign value? Do we have to love foreigners or love Khmer? First of all, do we have to be united with foreigners or solidarity with the Khmer? Is our love only in words or in deed? 3. The answer is that we should love Khmer more than foreign lovers. Naturally, the first person was self-centered. Then there is nationalism. Lastly, internationalism. The Buddhist theory suggests that "if we really love ourselves, we will not hurt others." In Brahman's theory, the choice between self and nation is that people are willing to sacrifice themselves for survival. In the days of Alexander the Great, an Indian invader said, "A person is sacrificed for the sake of the family. Sacrifice the family for the benefit of the village. Give up the village for the sake of the society." said in a similar phrase, "We must dare to die for our family to live and the family must dare to die in order to survive. “It is the duty and duty of the society to maintain the prosperity of the nation. 4. A person on earth needs to appreciate two things: the first is the mother-in-law and the second, the mother-in-law. . In the song "Khmer", written by His Excellency Chuon Nath, he wrote, "Cambodians were born on Khmer soil. To prosper." Generally, before the enemy breaks society, it is necessary to break the morale of society. First, the wise and the common people will become immoral, full of blasphemy, and use their fancy to decide The second is that politicians will be devoid of political principle (the social sin that Mahatma Gandhi mentioned is politics without principle or Politicians without Principle.) Politicians have become leaders in a spate of violent attacks and profanities. 5. Thirdly, it is foreignism, as Bishop Chuon Nath says, “Don't let foreigners turn Khmer and Khmer together. Regardless of how much money they spend, let's not forget Khemara's reputation [...] ”Young Cambodians should know that“ the old story is the old one because no great person can change the past. But we are new, the new way is to begin today. The other person does not understand the story of others. "A person who can manage the past well is in control of the future," said one novelist. People who can control the present well will be able to create a good past. "Yesterday is the past of today. Today is the past of tomorrow, and tomorrow is the future of today. Yesterday is today, today is today, and tomorrow is today, because as long as we manage this day best, the past And the. Managing the day well means making good past and also preparing the future well .. Struggle to learn moral solidarity.
