Description

Written for mainstream Cambodians, and English readers interested in the fascinating spiritual concept of the purpose of life, and universal enlightenment; this little book is presented both in Khmer and English language.

The Story of Lokesvara the Saviour of the World, takes readers on a 1st century journey where the spiritual realm (heaven) interacts with humans on Earth.To the rational mind it may sound like myth or superstition, but this event was huge—it changed the world. It is the story of how the human path to enlightenment changed forever, and how it was embraced by Hinduism, Daoism and Buddhism — and now Christianity.

The event starts in the 1st century, shortly before the incarnation of the Great Avatar, whom we came to know as Jesus (Iesous). We follow the traditional tales of the Lord’s ministry as he travels from Egypt to South East Asia, then to the Mid-East where his human body was tortured to death by a cruel and violent religious group.Iesous returns to Earth again in the year 78CE, exactly as he had promised. This time, He comes as the glorious Lord Avalokiteshvara (his Sanskrit title). He is venerated and worshipped by millions of people all over the world as the World Saviour, known as the Guanyin in Chinese Buddhism.

We end our journey in Cambodia. In the 12th century, the great Wayist-Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, who constructed the Bayon Temple and others around Angkor Wat, instituted the Lord’s Wayist worldview in the Angkor Empire.
