1. All Things Bright and Beautiful     

    275

    All things bright and beautiful,
    All creatures great and small,
    All things wise and wonderful,
    The Lord God made them all.
    Each little flower that opens,
    Each little bird that sings,
    He made their glowing colors,
    He made their tiny wings. Continue reading

  2. As You Travel Along Your Journey

    83

    As you set out on life’s road
    unsure of the path you’ll go,
    the most important thing you can do
    is to always be true to “you”

    Always remember who you are
    in moments of struggle or fear.
    Never forget or give up on
    the hopes and dreams you hold dear

    There will be setbacks and rejection
    and moments of failure too,
    but you must overcome any frustration
    to achieve the potential of you. Continue reading

  4. I Love Your Sunny Face

    77

    The tallest proudest flower
    With your golden yellow eye
    Everyday you just keep growing
    Reaching for the sky

    Your growing past the lilies
    And the roses too
    You’ll soon be passed the roof
    And we won’t know what to do

    I love your sunny face
    It always brings a smile
    I’ll keep you fed and watered
    so you stay around a while

    It takes many good deeds
    to build a good reputation,
    and only one bad one to lose it.

  6. It’s A Brand New Day

    65

    It’s a brand new day
    The sun is shining, the birds are singing
    It’s a brand new day
    And all the wonderful things it’s bringing

    It’s a new day
    Walk in the sun and the rain
    It’s a new day
    Let it bathe away the pain

    The day is here now
    So seize it
    The day is here now
    Go seize it

    The day has arrived
    For you to shine
    The day has arrived
    So go!

    Have a great time!
    ~By Caneel (Maine)

  7. Waterfalls

    74

    Waterfalls such a beautiful sight
    So peaceful and quiet
    The water shimmers as it falls
    Blue and clear

    Hear the whisper in the air
    As the water flows around
    Listen at the sound
    As it calms you down

    It lets you think
    Your mind in a spin
    As you wonder
    At the amazement of a waterfall Continue reading

    I was born as a woman
    Live as a woman
    Will die as a woman
    Every day, I see no difference
    Because I’m a woman all the time.

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

Hermit of Tbeng Mountain

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
