A caring friend is thousand times better than a careless lover.
Sometimes having fun with your friend is all the therapy
that you need. ~Santabanta sms
Cats directly walk on their toes. Of all animals, they have a unique skull that brings about large eye sockets and strong specialized jaw. In general, cats remain active during day and night. However, domestic cats are known to be rather more vigorous during evening and morning. While these cats spend a large amount of their time in homes, they can range several hundreds of meters from their focal point. Source: AnimalsTimes
Pure friendship is:
Bright like sun;
High like sky;
Strong like diamond;
Kind like mother;
Cute like me;
And Sweet like you.
~Santabanta sms
Human faces are known to be asymmetrical, with people instinctively moving their gaze to the right side of a face when they meet someone and try to discern their emotional state. Dogs have developed the same instinct when encountering a human, despite the fact that they do not do this when meeting other dogs. No other non-primate is known to do this. Source: OneKind
A smile is a sign of joy;
A hug is a sign of love;
A laugh is a sign of happiness;
And a friend like me, well – that’s a sign
of good taste. ~Santabanta sms
Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here. ~Max Ehrmanm, Desiderata
The empty mind – the pure mind – is not a blank, zero-land, where you’re not feeling or caring
about anything. It’s an effulgence of the mind. It’s a brightness that is truly sensitive and accepting.
It’s an ability to accept life as it is. When we accept life as it is, we can respond appropriately
to the way we’re experiencing it, rather than just reacting out of fear and aversion.
~Ajahn Sumedho
“There will always be suffering. But we must not suffer over the suffering.” ~Alan Watts
“ Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.” ~ Janet Fitch
Of course we can always imagine more perfect conditions, how it should be ideally,
how everyone should behave. But it is not our task to create an ideal. It’s our task
to see how it is, and to learn from the world as it is. For the awakening of the heart,
conditions are always good enough. ~Ajahn Sumedho
Memories play a confusing role. They make us laugh when we remember
the times that we cried together. But make us cry when we remember the times
that we laughed together. ~Santabanta sms

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