1. 'Good night': Haunting final contact from missing Malaysian jet

    35 March 16, 2014

    The last words from the cockpit of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 – "all right, good night" – were uttered after someone on board had already begun disabling one of the plane's automatic tracking systems, a senior Malaysian official said.

    Both the timing and informal nature of the phrase, spoken to air traffic controllers as the plane with 239 people aboard was leaving Malaysian-run airspace on a March 8 flight to Beijing, could further heighten suspicions of hijacking or sabotage…Video and read more

  2. Why 5-Year-Old Kids Can Do Algebra

    31 March 16, 2014

    Find algebra difficult? Well, think about this: Scientists find that even 5-year-old kids can do it. Now do you feel better?

    If not, maybe this will help. Preschoolers can do basic algebra — and we do mean very basic — through gut instincts that we share with a lot of other animals, but by the time we get fully involved in the educational process algebra will become a lot more difficult. Read more

    Abandoned by guardians and neglected by society
    You will never know how much you have until you see how much these poor children from my homeland, Cambodia, don't have.

    Such short-range rocket tests are usually considered routine, as opposed to North Korean long-range rocket or nuclear tests, which are internationally condemned as provocations. North Korea has conducted a string of similar short-range launches in recent weeks that have coincided with the annual military drills by allies Washington and Seoul…Watch video and read more

  9. MESSAGE: THERE IS HOPE MH370

    Malaysia asks countries for data to help find jet

    Officials revealed that the final words from the cockpit — "All right, good night" — were spoken to air traffic controllers after the plane's data communication system had been partially disabled. The pilots did not mention any trouble on board, suggesting they may have been misleading ground control.

    As investigators dug through the background of all 239 people on board Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and the ground crew that serviced the plane, a new detail emerged that strengthened speculation that one or both of the pilots were involved in the aircraft's disappearance more than a week ago…Watch video and read more

  10. Where did Social Security numbers come from?

    7 March 16, 2014

    Most people in the U.S. have them, considering you need them for so many things. Kids need them so their parents can claim them as dependents for tax reasons, you need one to apply for a job, and they’re necessary for collecting many government benefits. If you’ve applied for a credit card or loan, you’ve entered it on your application. Because it’s tied to some of the most important, sensitive data about you, a Social Security number itself is incredibly delicate information, which is why you need to be cautious about whom you give it to…read more

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

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
