The husband of Upasika Ieng Puthy , while visiting this morning for veneration and care, reported about outstandig generosity in the middle of hysteria.

A luxus ship carring nearly 4000 people, was many days blocked from many counties harbours in the South Asian sea because people affected by a virus Corona had been thought to be on board, incl. Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines, Japan. All rich and developed Countries, with high wealth care standards and infrastructure.

The Khmer people, following there leader and government, finaly overed the landing and assist in further care. A deed hard to do, such generosity at proper time, selfless giving and compassion that comes first before any fear of lose for one self. Not less the merits done here in ways only great and faithful leader could act.

A faithful person, acting on metta, goodwill, has nothing to fear.

It might people give reason to think about deeds and their effects and why generosity and Sila are actually the reason for long live, health and prosperty. Althought very near the main arising of the sickness, it self a poor organiced health system, help that isn't missing through the individual goodness, it is a well protected nation by still strong faith in the basics of right view, "couriosly" not a little hit by global arising misfortune like others, so "advancedand rich"

They said, the refugees: "Thank you Khmer", and Khmer originated from the Pali word khema, which means "Refuge, Peace, Security" "Thank you peace!"

Kaladana Sutta: Seasonable Gifts

"There are these five seasonable gifts. Which five? One gives to a newcomer. One gives to one going away. One gives to one who is ill. One gives in time of famine. One sets the first fruits of field & orchard in front of those who are virtuous. These are the five seasonable gifts."


In the proper season they give —
   those with discernment,
   responsive, free from stinginess.
Having been given in proper season,
with hearts inspired by the Noble Ones
   — straightened, Such —
their offering bears an abundance.
Those who rejoice in that gift
   or give assistance,
they, too, have a share of the merit,
   and the offering isn't depleted by that.
So, with an unhesitant mind,
one should give where the gift bears great fruit.
   Merit is what establishes
   living beings in the next life.

May all rejoice with the merits here and may the Devas inform those not touched yet.
