What does it all mean



I have learnt much from my time in Cambodia. Just by watching and talking to the locals much can be learnt. I was Lucky enough to speak to a monk who's English was way better than my Khmer and he took the time to explain his religion and beliefs. These made complete sense to me as they are life teachings more than a religion as I understand it. I have now just started to scratch the surface of something wonderful and that has now started me on an amazing life journey. I cannot wait to get back on April 8th to experience and learn more from these amazing people. Below are just some of these teachings:

Hold your family close every chance that you get

Have the discipline and vision to see your heroic mission – Dharma – and to ensure that it servers other people while you realize it.

Do the things you fear

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience

The quality of your life will come down to the quality of your contribution to others.

See yourself not as an individual, but as a part of collection

Life does not always give you what you want, but it always gives you what you need

Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it. No matter what happens to you keep trying and living the truths of life.

Never judge your self worth by somebody else’s net worth

Selflessly serve others

Embrace the present

Only true love of others will set you set you free and bring you peace in your life
