{CONFLICT} The Monks of Oakland, California have an argument among one another and cant deside what to do. So they call Monks from Massachusetts to help them solve the Matter. Instead, the Monks in Oakland California "Lied" to the People that the monks from Massachusetts are gonna take there Temple away from them. The people end up swearing and trowing objects at the monks. (Remember that these people have no respect for there own religion, prove that Khmer people have no morals or status)

[ThatxStaphyy]

@Fallfromheaven978 I don't think that ALL Khmer people don't have respect for their own religion because A LOT of us do have respect.

I know the Buddhist monks that are members of the International Community of Khmer Buddhist Monks Centers in, MA. They didn't just go over there to take over the temple in Oakland, CA. Actually it were some of the board members of the Oakland Temple that had invited the senior monks from Massachusetts to help them out because there was a conflict in that temple, so they had decided to make a ceremony to offer the Oakland Temple to the International Community of Khmer Buddhist Monks Center.

god is a waste of time

[Saxophoneplayer100]

I'm happy for your guy.

[AngelaFbabyy]

I use to go to that temple :)

[khmerpac]

Why was the temple confiscated in the first place?

[sreynauch]

apparently, some Cambodians senior signed a petition that they did not know. So, after court investigation and testimony from each person. Truth be told, they signed a paper they handed over the temple to a group of monk from Mass..

[khmerpac]

@sreynauch That's why you need a Realtor. I can understand, perhaps the president/owner of the temple sold the business (a temple is a business just as a church is a business) and the members did not like the new owner(monks, etc.) This is just my theory.

[KhmerSerey1]

People these day can't see a belt without hitting below it.Of all things,why attack a place of worship ?? East Oakland could use more temples and churches,there are too many lost souls in this city.The crime rate and homicide are among the highest in the nation.The more temples and churches the better.

[KhmerSerey1]

Religious freedom is a constitutional rights,we the Cambodian/American are well aware of our rights and the rights of other to practice their religious faith,we are Cambodian by origin and American by choice,as law abiding citizens and tax payers in this country,we are entitled to justice guaranteed to all citizens under the constitution,if need be we will take our case to the highest court of the land.We will not be second class citizens.

[ladyunforgetable]

They did the same exact thing to the temple in Fall river in Mass. But we also got it back :)

[sreynauch]

Justice for the people of the Oakland temple is serve but what about justice for people who died in the Killing field. Why do murders get to live freely in Cambodia. When will justice prevail and bring peace to the restless family.

[sreynauch]

Just is serve!

[monkeybutt832]

so they got thier temple back?

[Razcal87]

fuck you beatle234 and ur fucking christian shit.

[sreynauch]

Razcal: Christianity isn't perfecct either. From the Roman Empire til this day forward there have cases of people murder under this religion. Take Jones town for example.

[pathoftruth1]

Jim Jones wasn't a Christian. He was a communist psychopath cult leader. Bad example on your part.

[sreynauch]

@pathoftruth1-Yes he was a communist psychopath cult leader who uses religions to preach for equality: "He preached a 'social gospel' of human freedom, equality, and love, which required helping the least and the lowliest of society's members. Later on, however, this gospel became explicitly socialistic, or communistic in Jones' own view, and the hypocrisy of white Christianity was ridiculed while 'apostolic socialism' was preached." 1

@beatle234

There's no reason to act like that toward people that are doing nothing to harm you or impinge upon your daily activities. You should get in contact with the Heritage Foundation and request a copy of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution... if you're an American that is.
