1. When it hurts…

    Comment

    When it hurts to look back,
    and you’re scared to look ahead,
    You can look beside you
    And your best friend (me) will be there.

    Night Is Designed 
    to End the Worries & Fears 
    Of the Day.
    It Signifies to Leave It All To GOD 
    and Prepare for Another Day To Come.
    Have A Peaceful Night
    and A Blessed Tomorrow.

  3. Stay where you are…

    Comment

    Stay where you are. Find your own Calcutta.
    ‘Find the sick, the suffering, and the lonely
    right there where you are — in your own homes
    and in your own families, in your workplaces
    and in your schools. You can find Calcutta
    all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.
    Everywhere, wherever you go, you find people
    who are unwanted, unloved, uncared for,
    just rejected by society — completely forgotten,
    completely left alone. ~Mother Teresa

  4. Because of You

    Comment

    I awake each day with a smile
    And greet it with a laugh;
    The world is a treasure to me
    Because of you…

    ~Unknown

Listen to Khmer literature and Dhamma talk by His Holiness Jotannano Chuon Nath, Supreme Patriarch of Cambodia Buddhism.

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows

My reflection

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.

As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind, so the wise are not shaken by blame and praise. As a deep lake is clear and calm, so the wise become tranquil after they listened to the truth…

Good people walk on regardless of what happens to them. Good people do not babble on about their desires. Whether touched by happiness or by sorrow, the wise never appear elated or depressed. ~The Dhammapada

Sachjang Phnom Tbeng សច្ចំ​​ ភ្នំត្បែង is a very long and interesting story written by Mr. Chhea Sokoan, read by Jendhamuni Sos. You can click on the links below to listen. Part 1 | Part 2

Beauty in nature

A beautiful object has no intrinsic quality that is good for the mind, nor an ugly object any intrinsic power to harm it. Beautiful and ugly are just projections of the mind. The ability to cause happiness or suffering is not a property of the outer object itself. For example, the sight of a particular individual can cause happiness to one person and suffering to another. It is the mind that attributes such qualities to the perceived object. — Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Nature is loved by what is best in us. The sky, the mountain, the tree, the animal, give us a delight in and for themselves. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Our journey for peace
begins today and every day.
Each step is a prayer,
Each step is a meditation,
Each step will build a bridge.

—​​​ Maha Ghosananda
