Jendhamuni - Buddhism and inspiring quotes

There are times we all feel

35 August 3, 2014

"How we perceive a situation and how we react to it is the basis of our stress. If you focus on the negative in any situation, you can expect high stress levels. However, if you try and see the good in the situation, your stress levels will greatly diminish." ~Catherine Pulsifer

Yes, there are times we all feel a little stressed, but it is how your allow yourself to react which will measure your ability to overcome it. If you can find something positive to learn in any situation, you will be able to control your state of well-being. ~Beyond The Quote

Mother’s Love is peace…

Comment August 3, 2014

A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down
remorselessly all that stands in its path. ~Agatha Christie

Lotus Flower for my Friends

Happy Friendship Day to all my wonderful Friends
A seven-year-old girl took this photo of me at the Lotus pond, in the forest. And she told me to smile just like a happy fairy who gets so excited seeing beautiful lotus flowers at the pond… Since I am not a fairy, I had to smile just like Jendhamuni! She's the girl who decorated my hair with this silver head scarf. ~Jendhamuni

Have faith in yourself…

Comment August 2, 2014

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look
for a successful personality and duplicate it. ~Bruce Lee
Everyone of us…

Comment August 2, 2014

Everyone of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process,
care for ourselves. Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give
something back. ~Princess Diana
First photo taken by my Mother…

2 August 2, 2014

My mother just learned how to take photo this morning. This is a very first snapshot from her. She said she could not find the other half of my body. That’s why you only see the top half of Jendhamuni underneath a few branches with a nervous smile! My mother said she loves those leaves hanging above my head very much!
If someone gives you a gift…

Comment August 2, 2014

A Buddhist story: A man came shouting angrily at Buddha, who remained unaffected by him. When questioned by others as to how he remained calm and unaffected, Buddha answered with a question.

“If someone gives you a gift and you choose not to receive it, to whom then does the gift belong?”

Of course it stays with the giver. ― Bronnie Ware

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows

Should anyone wish to ridicule me and make me an object of jest and scorn why should I possibly care if I have dedicated myself to others?

Let them do as they wish with me so long as it does not harm them. May no one who encounters me ever have an insignificant contact.

Regardless whether those whom I meet respond towards me with anger or faith, may the mere fact of our meeting contribute to the fulfilment of their wishes.

May the slander, harm and all forms of abuse that anyone should direct towards me act as a cause of their enlightenment.
