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

Looking at the Moon and Thinking of One Far Away
….•*•.¸¸. ♥

The moon, grown full now over the sea,
Brightening the whole of heaven,
Brings to separated hearts
The long thoughtfulness of night….
It is no darker though I blow out my candle.
It is no warmer though I put on my coat.
So I leave my message with the moon
And turn to my bed, hoping for dreams.

~Zhang Jiuling

Sometimes just the act of sharing
a painful secret can relieve some of the pain.

This world is very miserable — full of suffering. No need for us to attack one another on cyberspace. Still, we cannot stop those who choose this path. But, we can control ourselves from participating in these attacks. I do understand that many of us, only want to hear praise and positive comments. If someone made negative comments about our posts, suddenly we jump and let go our value completely, just like trading our diamonds with stones. In this world, no one on this earth will praise us all the time and no one on this earth will criticize us all the time either. By reacting to the attacks or negative comments in negative ways, it shows that, We, and the Attackers, are no difference — just one of a kind…We are no better…

“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.” Buddha

Water washes over my hand
Water slips away like sand

Water trickles down a river
Water slides just like a slither

Water is patient and knows when to wait
Water doesn’t mind if it shows up late

Water falls from the sky in tears
Water wipes away wasted years

Water can die and live again
Water can squash and pry and bend

Water has been here in the beginning,
and water will be here until the end

Water is reliable
Water is a humans friend

Night is come by, so set your bed and go to sleep,
What lies ahead of you, are lovely dreams.
May all your problems and worries melt away,
For tomorrow is going to be a brand new day!
Good night!

Do you ever watch the sunset
And just sit and think about things
Just you and the sky and darkness
Giving your thoughts some wings

Perhaps you’ve got some troubles
And don’t know what to do
Or you just plain need to get away
To spend a little time with you

Sunset beauty makes you feel as though
Your life has meaning after all
To see a sight so extraordinary
Makes you feel capable, strong and tall Continue reading →

Cultivating respect as a virtue does not mean insisting that all ideas, beliefs, or actions are respect-worthy. It does mean that we recognize the basic human dignity of others, even when their ideas or values are different than our own. A general attitude of respect also assumes that each person has something to teach us if we are willing to learn.

For those who don’t know what to cook for their Loved Ones this weekend. Here, one suggestion I have for you. It’s the delicious Veggie Kabobs. Please do not ask me for the recipes. It’s as simple as you see in the picture. Just stick your favorite veggies on those sticks and grill them as desire. Please do not try to stick some fish, chicken, beef or pork. This is a Veggie Kabobs, stick to the rule, please.  And for the sauce to go with the kabobs, please ask someone else because I never know how to cook anything :)))))

Whatever is warm & inspiring,
whatever means most to you,
whatever makes you smile & brings you joy that’s
what I wish for U! Have a great Weekend.
