1. Strong person

    Comment

    The strong person is not the good wrestler. Rather, the strong person
    is the one who controls himself when he is angry. ~Anonymous

  2. Our eyes

    Comment

    Our eyes are placed in the front because it is more important
    to look ahead than to look back. ~SantaBanta

  3. Sometimes peace is better

    Comment

    Be selective with your battles. sometimes peace is better than being right. One can never start the next chapter of one’s life if one is always busy visiting the last one. Do not get upset with people or situations, both are powerless without your reactions. ~SanataBanta

    Life is not about what we couldn’t do so far. It is about what we still can.

  7. A rare luxury

    Comment

    Time is a rare luxury which can never be purchased at any cost.
    So when someone spends it for you, it defines the depth
    of care they have for you. ~SantaBanta

  8. Relation…

    Comment

    Relation is sweeter than honey and greater than money,
    smoother than silk and whiter than milk,
    higher than any tower and stronger than any power.
    So maintain it. ~SantaBanta

    the night and every time you awaken to see a beautiful new day.

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
