Atma, Njom
Sophorn and all others like to add something about "for Cambodian people".
Do not think so, do not waste you merits. People would easily do things for their childs, mother, their beloved, country... that is Loka-Dana, and if we think about Chon Nat and his forcing of nationalty, we all know whatputting ooly the smallest conceit into Dhamma causes. It always run out into holocaust, when people start to make the Tripple Gems their own.
The outstandig deed here is that people simply give to the Sangha of noboby else than the Buddha, independent, cut of of any jātī (jeat), not corrupted, having changed to beings aside of conceit. Their are even people, when we take
Moritz , who will never directly, personally be able to benefit from a work in a alian language. Such a faith, such a wisdom bears really fruits, similar when a uneducated soilder a farmer in the mountain, naturally very nationalistic and full of conceit, nevertheless gives without waiting a moment a foeigner with long nose, a normal potencal enemy, almsfood, seeing and knowing that this person has left the ways to another kind.
So should we see and care about the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha, far beyond silly thinking in ways of brotherhood, yet possible not reached being one of those.
So Atma likes to encourage all of you, even a health amount of conceit is nedded to keep one self beautyful, do never fall into the trap like the original translator sadly did, giving many the possibility to let really bad kamma ripe.
Beyond family which is not rightously that of the four pairs, eight people, this work is good placed and done.
Its good and fruit full not to work for a personal benefit and so stoping to nurish defilements.
That is why Moritz here, for example, has the most benefit. Its good to help one working not for his interest nor for that of the helper.
It all sounds maybe complicated...so simply keep the Noble Sangha as Nimitta while working, join the work and encourage others to let go of selfish interests "for my child, for my nation..." and put effort and sacrify into things that are really worthy for sacrifices.
Thats actually a "mangul do odom" a highest blessing, not only it self is it conneceted with most of all the other highest blessings.
One walking the path of the Noble Ones, even with the first step into their direction, automatically help ever being as much ever possible. Every "smarter" way, mixed with a punch of kilesas we love to call compassion, keep them for heroic deeds, mostly leads to much suffering and no end of it. So be care ful, be or better do always Khmer (khemā = person or land at peace)
So actually its total good if it is done for khema, but importand to understand the deep and rightous meaning correct.
If khema people keep the word and tradition of the Buddha alive, it possible will not disappear in this world, but will disappear even in one generation if the meaning and quality of khema is lost and taken over by pride, greed and conceit. The Khmer/khema Sutta is by the way in AN, maybe one likes to share the sutta obout one who has come to peace also in convential khema language.
AN 9.52 pali Atma trusts that this possible many words and rants are helpful, again and again.
* Johann : Btw. Njom Norum, you do good in forcing and "beating" Njom Sophorn to also start to type, give her a task that she MUST do. Not only will she get more familar to the language Khmer but also attain Khema soon. Its proper to "punish" people with words to their highest luck.
