1. Truth and Patience

    Comment

    Truth and Patience are those rides which never let their riders fall; neither at anyone’s
    feet nor in anyone’s eyes. ~Santabanta sms

  2. Kittens want to go for a ride too

    Comment

    Cats can use pet doors: For families that maintain indoor-outdoor cats, nothing’s more convenient than a pet door. Know who came up with the idea? Gravity King Sir Isaac Newton! According to various tales passed down over the years, Newton was experimenting with light in a darkened room and one of his most prized cats (reportedly named “Spithead”) kept opening the door and disrupting the experiment. To keep his work intact and allow the cat the freedom to roam, he cut a small hole in the door and covered it with cloth. That evolved into what is today known as a pet door, suitable for both cats and dogs. Source: MNN

  3. Inter-relationship

    Comment

    You are me and I am you.
    Isn’t it obvious that we inter-are?
    You cultivate the flower in yourself
    so that I will be beautiful.
    I transform the garbage in myself
    so that you do not have to suffer.
    I support you you support me.
    I am here to bring you peace
    you are here to bring me joy.

    ~Thich Nhat Hanh

    Cats have internal GPS systems: Lost cats really can find their way home. Various experts point to sunlight angles, the Earth’s magnetic fields and another capability referred to as PSI Traveling. Whatever the case, there are documented accounts of cats taking long and arduous journeys to reach home and a favored human companion. Source: MNN

  5. Kitties playing piano together

    Comment

    Cats Love with Playing. Kittens play out of pure enjoyment, and many never outgrow playtime. Some cats may actually control the interaction of petting by moving just out of reach—so YOU must go to THEM. Their most favorite playmate typically is a trusted, beloved companion. Source: About

  6. Open your eyes

    Comment

    Open your eyes so the sun can rise, flowers can blossom because all are waiting
    to see your beautiful smile. Life is like a mirror: It’ll smile at you if you smile at it.
    In life, every hour, minute and seconds counts. Once it passed by it will never come
    back again. ~Good morning quote

  8. Give others happiness and joy

    Comment

    Make everyday as an opportunity to serve others and give others happiness and joy.
    What you give is what you will receive, and sometimes what we receive is more
    than what we give. ~Good morning quote

  9. A wider heart and mind

    Comment

    Our inability to stand someone results from our lack of cultivation.
    Having a wider heart and mind is more important than having a larger house.
    Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little.

  10. Very tired kittens

    Comment

    Your little group of kindles is a miracle in progress. At birth, kittens are entirely reliant on their mothers for food and warmth. Their tiny bodies can’t regulate temperature very well and they often crawl over each other in a pile of kitty warmth. Kittens’ eyes and ear canals are closed during their first few days of life, rendering them unable to see or hear one another. Newborn kittens spend their first weeks eating, sleeping and cuddling in order to survive. Source: thenest

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
