1. Squirrel is the new cat…

    Comment

    Squirrels are extremely intelligent creatures. They are known to put on elaborate bogus food burying displays to deceive onlookers. The fake burials are to trick potential thieves, such as other squirrels or birds, into thinking that they have stored their food stock there. Any observers planning on taking the stash will then focus on the bogus burial site, allowing the squirrel to bury the real stash elsewhere safely. Source: OneKind

  5. Who makes your life beautiful…

    Comment

    Don’t choose the beautiful in this life, choose who makes your life beautiful.
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but attractiveness is complex, made up of both static and dynamic qualities, and both affect perceptions of attractiveness. People aren’t as beautiful as they look, as they walk or as they talk. They are only as beautiful as they love, as the care and as they share. ~Author Unknown

  6. Beauty of the heart

    Comment

    Real measure of a man is not by his beauty or face real measure of a man is beauty of his heart.   
    ~Anurag Prakash Ray

    There would always be a guy in every girl’s life, who, no matter how you see yourself, would make you believe that you too are beautiful. ~Tinku Razoria

  7. Pitcher Orchid

    Comment

    Pitcher plant is the common name for a large range of carnivorous genera including Sarracenia, Darlingtonia, Nepenthes, Cephalotus, and Heliamphora. They are very unique-looking plants and come in a wide range of colors and even shapes.

    Pitcher plants get their name from their rolled-up leaves that form tube-like edges and create a pitcher shape. The plant is able to lure and trap it’s food by producing nectar inside of their pitcher. Once the prey come to get the nectar, they slip and fall into the pitcher and often aren’t able to get out due to a cap covering the opening of the pitcher, intoxicating or anesthetic substances lining the pitcher which weaken the insects, or the slippery inside that contains water that will often eventually drown the worn-out prey.

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
