Title: Cambodian New Year (បុណ្យចូលឆ្នាំថ្មី) Neujahr Kambodscha
Post by: Dhammañāṇa on April 05, 2017, 07:22:27 PM
បុណ្យចូលឆ្នាំថ្មី ២៥៦១
Bonj Chol Chnam Thmay 2561

Neujahr Kambodscha 2561/2017

Nun wohl die geschäftigste Woche des Jahres. Sicherlich das bedeutenste Fest für die meisten Kambodschaner und wohl die hitzigste Zeit in den normalen Klöstern.

Diese Jahr war die Trockenzeit gut ein Monat früher als gewöhnluch zu Ende, und die Tage und Nächte des heißesten Monats sind so kühl wie in den kältesten.

Dem Mondkalender nach ist/wäre Neujahr am 11. April.

Diesist der Beginn des "buddhistischen" Jahres 2561,

Dies Neue Jahr wird dem Sternzeichen Hahn zugesprochen.

Ein allgemeines Thema zu den Bräuchen findet man hier: Cambodian New Year - Kambodschanische Neujahr (http://forum.sangham.net/index.php/topic,466.0.html)

Welcher Deva zum Neujahrstag das Jahr 2561 begleitet, weiß meine Person nicht. Vielleicht möchte jemand dieses ergänzen.

Mögen all die nun Reisenden gut an ihren Zielen und bei ihren Familien, in ihren Heimen, ankommen und mögen da keine unglücklichen Ereignisse im Tummel auf den Straßen, zu Wasser und in der Luft sein. Mögen sich alle Wesen stets in guter Fügung begegnen.

This years New Year ចូលឆ្នាំ falls on the 14. April, (15:12) and since it is a Sunday, it's said that Devata Dungsa Devi (ទុង្សៈទេវី) will be send to protect the goodness on earth.

Dungsa Devi is adorned with a ruby necklace. A pomegranate flower can be seen tucked behind her ear. On her right hand, she carries a disc of power and on her left hand she holds a shell. Her favorite food is the fig fruit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_fig). She rides on a Garuda (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garuda#Buddhism).

The Khmer New year was restricted in regard of visiting other provinces, the only larger limitation in the Corinna-crise, so to prevent from larger dpreading. In July, how ever, the Great Goverment leader announced a replacement date, so that families could meet and open field works, or actually come together in this time anyway (not so much special traffic at this field work season) at this time might be also supported, people usually drive home to help planting the young rice plants. Instead of three days it will now a family fest and meeting of 5 days, starting on 17. July till the 21.

May all spend a blessed time visiting their beloved, might there be always safe travel and may all take care on health and not harming others while doing merits and labor together on the field in the world and those destinated for fruits beyond.

Atma wonders of which kind of ceremonies and rituals would be made on a replacement - new year. Is there any common guide given by leaders, Nyom Cheav Villa , as surely strange, or just a very worldly event 5 days, like just holiday for workers in companies?

As guided by the leaders of the Royal Government, these 5 days are a holiday for all Cambodians instead of Khmer New Year. Both civil servants, companies, workers..

But no guidlines given in regard of customs, religion... , what to do, good family rituals, together this and that kind of merits, such to be prepared, such to be performed, since most might have let importand things out, especially sharing it with each other, right. So maybe good if spreading out here the thought: "Ohh, gread leader, it would be good when the great worldly and spiritual leader of Kambujea could give a well-thought conductive guidline of performances good to do for their Grandchildren, dependencies, for this and next world, and pleasing relations with all kinds of being, Gods, Devas and Noble Ones, so that the days are not spend useless and unrestrained. And good if good infection-safety-care tips would be wrapped into it as well (pointing on traditional bodily conducts which do such anyway), reaching all communities and monasteries in time."

Khmer New year, ចូលឆ្នាំថ្មី, will be on 14. April at 4:00 in the morning this year.

ចូលឆ្នាំ/មហាសង្រ្កាន្ត (New Year/Maha Sangkrang): 14. April (Wednesday)
ថ្ងៃ​វ័នបត/វិរ:វ័នបត (Virak Vanabat): 15. April
វារៈឡើងស័ក (Vearak Loeng Sak): 16. April

It's of cause to be expected that festivals and travel will be canceled. May, how ever, meet each other in maybe more modest way and smaller groups, remembering that it's not a matter whether another is near and dear or a stranger and even oneself could carry what simply looks for food, home and grow as well.

Good to practice universal Metta and keeping Uposatha one makes a gift of fearlessness for every one, gains multiple share of this sacrifices for release.

The Year of the Water Ox.

Wednesday's New Year "calls" for Mondar Devi, wears a fragrant flower tucked behind her ear. Around her neck she wears cat's eye gemstones. She drinks milk and carries a needle on her right hand and a cane on her left hand. Mondar rides the donkey.

Khmer New year, ចូលឆ្នាំថ្មី, will be on 14. April at 10:00 in the morning this year.

ចូលឆ្នាំ/មហាសង្រ្កាន្ត (New Year/Maha Sangkrang): 14. April
ថ្ងៃ​វ័នបត/វិរ:វ័នបត (Virak Vanabat): 15. April
វារៈឡើងស័ក (Vearak Loeng Sak): 16. April

Better then to think "Now we won over, let us go after low", would be remember the truth of insecure and use the days for further efforts to reach secure. Many harm can be expected when people get wrong ideas of whats peace and real victory.

Thursday's New Year "calls" for Kirinī  Devi កិរិណី, adorned with the Mondea flower tucked behind her ear and an emerald around her neck. She favors beans and sesames for food. On her right hand she carries a harpoon and on her left she carries a gun. She rides the elephant.

Kimirā Devī កិមិរា ទេវី, is said to look over the world, arriving on Friday, 14.4. 16:00, riding a water buffalo, and makes the 7th year at the Ashram complete.

It's to assume that after Covid restrain and close up, much un-restrained will hype, so may many not fall into the dangers and spend good time merely remote and with those lesser after common joy, near family.

Mahodarā Devī មហោទរា ទេវី, is said to look over the world the comming year, arriving on Saturday, 13.4.2024, 22:24, riding the peacock.

Maha (great) - Udara (highest, womb, belly) => mighty, powerful or "Great belly", one of the seven Kumbhāṇḍas (Virulha is their king), protectors. (Also mentioned as attendant of Siva, leading helping the Devas to win against the Asuras)

Antique origin probably from one of the seven Divine mothers (Matrika (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrikas)), created by Shiva: "Māheśvarī"

Today the thought arose: If there is sombody, or more, thinking "good occasion to renounce at least the 'villages' and try to meet the Devas by developing meditation, in the forest, on the Nagaraja mountain", it's surely a good occasion, to spend a good time more far up from common. Maybe even the path might be complete, or at least a good part up till 13. April.

So let's announce "Greating the New Year Devas renouncing days on Nagaraja Mountain, (...)13-16(...) April."

No, Nyom, not just a medi, nor "householder-fitness-weekend", renouncing, leaving interest in sensuality behind, developing the path: quest for right Samadhi.

Beginning with. Uposatha, cleaning the mind, anussati, right view:

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

...“And how is one made pure in three ways by mental action? There is the case where a certain person is not covetous. He does not covet the belongings of others, thinking, 'O, that what belongs to others would be mine!' He bears no ill will and is not corrupt in the resolves of his heart. [He thinks,] 'May these beings be free from animosity, free from oppression, free from trouble, and may they look after themselves with ease!' He has right view and is not warped in the way he sees things: 'There is what is given, what is offered, what is sacrificed. There are fruits & results of good & bad actions. There is this world & the next world. There is mother & father. There are spontaneously reborn beings; there are brahmans & contemplatives who, faring rightly & practicing rightly, proclaim this world & the next after having directly known & realized it for themselves.' This is how one is made pure in three ways by mental action.”...

Why always turning things around, Nyom. Without right view, there will be no right Samadhi. Without passing the Devas and Brahmas, there will be no right Samadhi. For one with doubts, there is no renouncing either.

What for?

It's the nature that one really renouncing, perfect in karuna and metta, Sila, meets those in higher spheres. And it's the nature to gain association if giving into relation.

It's for sure most helpful if meeting refined beings, since all doubt in regard of basic right view vanishes right there, and earlier gained Dhamma opens the path to right view of an Ariya right there.

Some appear in very human appearance as well, Nyom. Thought on the many kinds of different animal forms, spoken of lower Devas, so more manifold are there finer appearances.
