1. Peace is the only battle worth waging

    77

    God grant the world the will to live in peace,
    To end all conflict and make hostility cease.
    If we are tolerant of others, we can accept who they are.
    There would be no reason to kill, maim or scar.
    What will it take to wake us from our sleep?
    We must stand for peace and freedom.
    As we sow, so shall we reap.

    Peace Prayer

  2. I Miss You

    76

    For Broken Hearted People only!

    Love Loses Its Meanining Without You
    Love loses its meaning without you my dear,
    Life loses its radiance without your lively cheer.

    The moon is not beautiful any more and so is the rain,
    Your absence in my life gives my heart so much pain.

    I miss you like crazy darling, please come back,
    I will never let you go away, I promise you that.

  3. Smile

    61

    Take the time to laugh,
    it’s the music of the soul.
    Take the time to love,
    it’s truly enlightening.
    Take the time to smile,
    it’s contagious!

    27

    Just a funny poem

    Got a problem with me?
    Go solve it.
    Think im trippin?
    Tie my shoes.
    Cant stand me?
    Sit down.
    Cant face me?
    Turn around….

  5. Dealing with Rude People

    170

    When You Can’t Run and Hide! These are the top 3 things to remember when handling the negative and rude crowd:
    ….•*•.¸¸. ♥

    1. Realize that THEY are the ones with the personality problem, not you. They’re the one with so much negativity inside that it’s oozing outside. Get away before it gets on you.
    2. Don’t mirror them by sinking down to their level.  You should never mirror anyone, of course, but if you ever DO try someone else’s “look” on, make sure it’s attractive. Why’d you want to be ugly too?

    3. Never allow anyone to rob you of your happiness.  They say misery loves company. Just because the invitation’s sent doesn’t mean you have to accept!

  6. Nice Day

    119

    Some days are cloudy and gray
    and it seems as if the rain is
    chasing all your dreams away
    While other days are bright and sunny
    making you feel as though the feats
    you can accomplish are many
    On this particular day I have but
    one wish coming your way…
    I hope you have a wonderfully nice day!

  7. The Willingness to Change

    42

    Everyone thinks of
    changing the world,
    but no one thinks
    of changing himself.

    ~Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

    If it doesn’t work, don’t come back to me — you must be out of luck!
    ….•*•.¸¸. ♥

    If you’re angry at a loved one, hug that person.
    And mean it. You may not want to hug –
    which is all the more reason to do so.
    It’s hard to stay angry when someone
    shows they love you, and that’s precisely
    what happens when we hug each other.

    ~Walter Anderson

  9. Happy Presidents' Day

    126

    All human beings, should be treated with love and respect, regardless of their skin color, gender, or religious beliefs

    How are we so “different”?
    If “different” is just a thing.
    If we all have certain features,
    What does “different” bring?

    People filled with hatred,
    Can’t possibly see,
    That there’s not really “differences”
    Between you and me.

    Looks can’t show “difference”,
    If they’re just there to be seen.
    If you don’t look like someone else,
    Why are they so mean? Continue reading

  10. Lotus & the Seeds — My Food & Best Friend

    81

    Lotus seeds are what I ate during the Killing Field

    Good morning!
    In case you forgot my name.
    This is Jendhamuni.
    Originally, from Kingdom of Cambodia,
    where the land is getting smaller and smaller
    because our government is too kind!
    Everyday, they stick to the same mission:
    Threaten the poor to give rich the lands…
    Sweet, bitter, sour, or salty?
    You tell me!
    This is the reality
    behind the black curtain
    in Kingdom of Cambodia,
    where the king must always remain silent!
    Otherwise……? You fill in!

    Wishing you a Curious Day,
    filled with Love and Compassion,
    along with endless wisdom.
    ~Jendhamuni

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
