    Let the light of the day rise in your heart.
    Let the joy of the morning be seen in your smile.
    And God’s grace be yours today and everyday.

  2. Kitty playing with bug

    Comment

    A cat’s cerebral cortex (the part of the brain in charge of cognitive information processing) has 300 million neurons, compared with a dog’s 160 million. Basically, cats have a lower social IQ than dogs but can solve more difficult cognitive problems when they feel like it. Cats have 1,000 times more data storage than an iPad. Source: Buzzfeed

  3. Pug Love

    Comment

    Pugs go by a number of different names, including Chinese pug, Dutch bulldog, Dutch mastiff, Mini mastiff, Carlin, and for some strange reason, Mops. Pugs are small in size but have big personalities. They are known to be strong-willed, but not aggressive. Most Pugs are good with children, and are rugged enough for a serious romp. They can be quiet and passive, or outgoing and rascally depending on their owner’s mood. Pugs tend to follow their owners around to insure they don’t miss out on anything. Another favorite Pug pastime is napping. Source: HealthyPets

  4. The one…

    Comment

    One who smokes has a smoky-heart.
    One who drinks has an alcoholic-heart.
    So you must stop eating sweets
    as you are already a sweet-heart.

    ~Santabanta

  5. Quality of your thoughts

    Comment

    Prayer is not an attempt to change God’s mind. But it’s an attempt to let God change our mind. Once you accept someone for what they really are, they will really surprise you by being better than you ever expected. Those who speak rude cannot sell honey, but those who speak sweet can sell chillies. ~Santabanta sms

  6. Just be the moment

    Comment

    Don’t focus on money or success just be the moment.
    Forget the naysayers, forget the past, forget the future.
    Be the moment. Forget the mistakes. Do not let guilt play your moment,
    let love play the moment. Let your heart play the moment,
    do not let fear play you. ~Jeremy Limn

  7. Make a wish…

    Comment

    I love three things: The sun, the moon and you. The sun for the day,
    the moon for the night and you forever. ~Santabanta

  8. Celebrating the difference

    Comment

    If she is an apple and you are an orange, make a fruit salad.
    Love is not about being the same, it’s about being sweet
    with each other and celebrating the difference.

  9. Kitty practices stretching

    Comment

    Cat are the kings and queens of stretches.

    Musculature of a cat is more flexible than a dog. The cat’s loose muscles, in combination with its backbone, are probably the main reason for the overall flexibility of the cat and cat balance. A cat can arch its back into an inverted “u” shape, curl up in a circle when taking a nap, or rotate one half of its spine almost 180 degrees relative to the other half when necessary.

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
