1. Kitty did not sleep last night

    Comment

    There are three body types for a cat. Cobby type is a compact body, deep chest, short legs and broad head. The eyes are large and round. Muscular type is a sturdy body and round, full-cheeked head.   Foreign type is a slender body, with long legs and a long tail. The head is wedge-shaped, with tall ears and slanting eyes. A cat’s normal body temperature is 101.5 degrees. This is slightly warmer than a humans. People who own pets live longer, have less stress, and have fewer heart attacks.

  2. It takes three to make love

    Comment

    It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished. ― Fulton J. Sheen

  3. A Pack of Pugs is called a Grumble

    Comment

    Pugs were once used by the military – Now I know it’s tough to imagine these little guys in battle, but they were actually pretty good at tracking things. During the 17th century it wasn’t uncommon for them to be on guard duty or used as tracking dogs to find people and/or other animals. A Pack of Pugs is called a Grumble – If you ever see a group of Pugs running together, you better move out the way because no one stands a chance against the Grumble Bundle. Their wrinkly faces need to be cleaned regularly – Although those wrinkly faces are really adorable, they do require a bit of maintenance. You have to clean between the wrinkles regularly to prevent infection and bacterial growth. Source: PugTips

  4. Embrace your humanity

    Comment

    One of the most spiritual things you can do is embrace your humanity. Connect with those around you today. Say, “I love you”, “I’m sorry”, “I appreciate you”, “I’m proud of you”…whatever you’re feeling. Send random texts, write a cute note, embrace your truth and share it…cause a smile today for someone else…and give plenty of hugs. ― Steve Maraboli

  5. What metta is

    Comment

    Buddha preaching

    Metta is an attitude of recognizing that all sentient beings (that is, all beings that are capable of feeling), can feel good or feel bad, and that all, given the choice, will choose the former over the latter.

    Metta is a recognition of the most basic solidarity that we have with others, this sharing of a common aspiration to find fulfillment and escape suffering.

    Metta is empathy. It’s the willingness to see the world from another’s point of view: to walk a mile in another person’s shoes.

    Metta is the desire that all sentient beings be well, or at least the ones we’re currently thinking about or in contact with. It’s wishing others well.

    Metta is friendliness, consideration, kindness, generosity.
    Metta is an attitude rather than just a feeling. It’s an attitude of friendliness.

    Metta is the basis for compassion. When our Metta meets another’s suffering, then our Metta transforms into compassion.

    Metta is the basis for shared joy. When our Metta meets with another’s happiness or good fortune, then it transmutes into an empathetic joyfulness.

    Metta is boundless. We can feel Metta for any sentient being, regardless of gender, race, or nationality.

    Metta is the most fulfilling emotional state that we can know. It’s the fulfillment of the emotional development of every being.
    It’s our inherent potential. To wish another well is to wish that they be in a state of experiencing Metta.

    Metta is the answer to almost every problem the world faces today. Money won’t do it. Technology won’t do it. Metta will.

  6. Learn from it and let go

    Comment

    Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing. ~Brian L. Weiss

  7. Know your worth and move on…

    Comment

    The wrong person won’t think you’re worth their love, loyalty or respect.
    So, they’ll offer you something less. Don’t accept it. Know your worth
    and move on.  ~Sonya Parker

  8. Cutie does not want to get up

    Comment

    Many dogs are mildly allergic to perfumey scented shampoos. Consider using a mild oatmeal based shampoo when bathing your dog or you may end up with an itchy pup! Dogs don’t understand pointing. They focus on the tip of your finger, not the item you are pointing at. Dogs aren’t really racist. When dogs bark at unknown people, it is often because they are unfamiliar with their body type or skin color. Dogs dislike being bored and easily get into trouble when left to their own devices. Think of creative ways to keep your dog’s mind active. Source: The dog guide

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

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

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
