1. Love always

    Comment

    Mothers observe all, absorb all,
    give all, forgive all,
    offer all, suffer all,
    feel all, heal all,
    hope for all, pray for all.
    But most of all,
    Mothers love always.

  2. Something greater than pleasure

    Comment

    To a man, sex is the ultimate expression of love. It is pure pleasure. But to a woman there exists something greater than pleasure―gestures of adoration. A gentle caress on the cheek, an attentive smile, a soft kiss while swept away in a slow dance, the whispered words, ‘You’re beautiful’―these are the tokens of love that women cherish. ~Richelle E. Goodrich

  3. The power of friendship

    Comment

    Don’t underestimate the power of friendship. Those bonds are tight stitches that close up the holes you might otherwise fall through. ~Richelle E. Goodrich

  4. Whisper a prayer…

    Comment

    Don’t ever give up.
    Don’t ever give in.
    Don’t ever stop trying.
    Don’t ever sell out.
    And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment,
    pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off.
    But never, ever, ever give up.

  5. Unconditional opportunity

    Comment

    This new day has greeted us with no rules; unconditional opportunity. Do not dilute the power of this new day with the hardship of yesterday. Greet this day the way it has greeted you; with open arms and endless possibility. ~Steve Maraboli

  6. Each new day

    Comment

    Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life.
    The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best
    story you possibly can.― Douglas Pagels

  8. Happy Women’s Day to all my dearest friends

    Comment

    Especially, my most beautiful Mother in the world
    I love both men and women. I respect both men and women. Cannot imagine
    what the world is like without both men and women. I love the heart, not the tag…

  9. When we are willing to…

    Comment

    We cannot love when filled with suspicion. We cannot trust when filled with doubts. We cannot forgive when unwilling to believe. ~Master Cheng Yen

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
