Cambodia Town3 hours agoWe are delighted to sponsor this year’s Annual Historic Cemetery Tour and the Cambodian Memorial Flag (Tung Rolok) , scheduled for Saturday, October 26, 2024 in Long Beach. For more information, please refer to the flyer below.
Here is a brief description of the Cambodian Memorial Flag by Professor Susan Needham, Department of Anthropology, California State University Dominguez Hills and Co-Director, and Cambodian Community History and Archive Project (CamCHAP),
“Memorial Flag (Tung Rolok) - The Cambodian Memorial Flag is raised during ceremonies to honor the spirit of an important deceased individual such as a former leader, general, or the King. The flag has a triangular “head,” the corners of which represent the Buddha, The Sangha, and the Dhamma. The “ribs” of the body represent the Eightfold Path to Enlightenment:
-Right view
-Right mindfulness
-Right concentration
-Right effort
-Right livelihood
-Right action
-Right Speech
-Right intentions
The flags are often multicolored, but sometimes are all white like this one. In Cambodian culture, white is the color of mourning,”Cambodia Town2 days agoCongratulations to our participants on completing the Fifth Stop The Hate and Smartphone Workshops on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024.
