65th ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATION We are members of the Western Canada Khmer Kampuchea Krom Friend Association in partnering with Khmer associations would like to invite Venerable Monks and distinguished guests to participate with our 65th Anniversary Commemoration of the loss of Khmer Kampuchea Krom land to Vietnamese in June 04, 1949 – June 04, 2014. In that time, French protectorate abused the Kingdom of Cambodia by allowing Khmer Kampuchea Krom land controlled by Vietnamese Emperor Bao Dai. Since then, Khmer Kampuchea Krom people have been perpetually violated their rights including the practice of Buddhism, traditions, culture and language etc. More than this, the Khmer Kumpuchea Krom’s identity and their fate are under grave threat of assimilation and extermination at the present. Thus, we hold this commemoration annually in order: - To educate the young people about the history - To collectively work for unity with all Khmer people regardless of where they come from - To preserve culture, tradition, Buddhism and enhance humanitarian services and - To engage with the international communities in the struggle for the respect of human rights and dignities of mankind. *TENTATIVE SCHEDULE* Friday, May 30th, 2014 - 6:00PM = Arrival of members and distinguished guests for Parita Chanting and Dhamma Preaching at temple:* 10830-106 Street, **Edmonton* *NW**, **AB* *T5H 2Y2* Saturday, May 31st, 2014 - 6:00AM = Offer breakfast (Yaku) to the Bhikkhu Monks at the temple - 9AM= Arrival of members and distinguished guests at *Dutch Canadian Center, 13312 142 Street, Edmonton AB T5L 4T3* to worship Triple Gem, Observe Five Precepts, Offer alms-food to the Bhikkhu Monks to dedicate merits to our ancestors.
