A beautiful temple once stood here. Now a beautiful temple stands behind. This one that once was probably vibrant in color is now faded. Crumbling. Abandoned. It once was a place where Buddhist would go to find what they call peace. But then about 43 years ago this place that the the Cambodian people though of as peaceful was turned into a prison for innocent people to be held for a short time before being taken to the ‘killing fields’. I had heard of this before but nothing prepared me for the pain that one feels walking through these places. This country has seen hard times yet continues to have some of the strongest, kindest, most full hearted people I’ve ever met.
~This country 43 years later is still suffering and recovering from this tragedy. #Cambodia #prayers.
