A bird’s eye takes up about 50 percent of its head;
our eyes take up about 5 percent of our head.
To be comparable to a bird’s eyes, our eyes would have
to be the size of baseballs. Source: mspca
There is no long distance about love, it always finds
a way to bring hearts together no matter how many miles
there are between them. ~Source Unknown
Who do you run to when the only person
who can make you stop crying,
is exactly the one who is making you cry?

Try to be mindful and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool. All kinds of wonderful, rare animals will come to drink at the pool, and you will clearly see the nature of all things. You will see many strange and wonderful things come and go, but you will be still. This is the happiness of the Buddha. ~Ajahn Chah
If the moon never came out and the stars did not shine, it would be one lonely world …
just as would the heart and soul without love. Source Unknown
Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with mustache. You won’t be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you. ~Ajahn Chah
We don’t meditate to see heaven, but to end suffering. Remember you don’t meditate to ‘get’ anything, but to get ‘rid’ of things. We do it, not with desire, but with letting go. If you ‘want’ anything, you won’t find it. ~Ajahn Chah
A woman wanted to know how to deal with anger. I asked when anger arose whose anger it was. She said it was hers. Well, if it really was her anger, then she should be able to tell it to go away, shouldn’t she? But it really isn’t hers to command. Holding on to anger as a personal possession will cause suffering. If anger really belonged to us, it would have to obey us. If it doesn’t obey us, that means it’s only a deception. Don’t fall for it. Whenever the mind is happy or sad, don’t fall for it. It’s all a deception. ~Ajahn Chah
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face.
Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.
Get out of your head and get into your heart.
Think less, feel more. Don’t be angry at life.
It is not life that is frustrating you,
it is you who are not listening to life.
~Osho

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
