In the rat race for heights,power and influences.The Cambodian/American are at the bottom of the food chain,the bottom of the ladder.But we're all tax paying American just like any others.Let there be no American left behind,that goese as well for the Cambodian/American !! we feel strongly that this temple is a plus to the community not a negative aspect.Productive in every sense of the word and cause.No better,no worst than any Christian school across the country,in all good intentions.

Be fair,we're not a bunch of communists here...

A tiny slice of pie for the Cambodian/American community in Lowell.That's all we ask of our fellow Immigrant/American ;)))))).Who know ? we might even be able to reel in the Dalai Lama to our temple,he's alway in search of a peaceful place to stay..;)))))

It's going to be quite a project,but i can assure you,it wont be as big as Little Italy Mr.Campanini...

[SithSereyPheap1]

It's a Holy Buhdist Temple people !! not the house of ill repute.It's a beautiful gift to the city,not a damnation.It shall be spectacular !! you'll see.And it shall belong to you and i,to all of us,those who seek peace,knowledge and enlightment...

If you cant help with the fundings,the very least you can do is donate your written signatures or your check mark on the YES box....Thank you Mr and Mrs High Command,City Councilors !!

[SithSereyPheap1]

We seek the blessing of Budha,the city councils and fellow citizens.We hold the rule of law and the American constitution in the highest regard,by all means we shall observe every city codes,regulations and ordinances.Everything erected on American soil belong to all American.We humbly ask for your kind considerations...Thank you to all..;))))))

I say we push foreward with the project and give it a go ahead.A huge undertaking,but we're confident in our commitment to enrich the community through religious peace and academic enlightment for all who seek it..

[SithSereyPheap1]

Such a place should not be denied,it is after all a place of peace and learning.Religious freedom and academic enlightment is an American way of life.We pride ourselves on cultural diversity here in America.The very things that made America such a rich and prosperous country envied by all around the world.Such a place will be open to all,no one shall be alienated.I think it's good for the entire community at large.A win-win situation,we all can use some serious meditation..;))))))
