I have learned how precious silver is.
I’ve been told how costly gold is.
I sure know how beautiful diamond is.
But your love has more worth
than all of them.

Nobody needs a smile so much as the one who has none to give.
So get used to smiling heart-warming smiles, and you will spread
sunshine in a sometimes dreary world. ~Lawrence G. Lovasik
People come in and out of our lives, and the true test
of friendship is whether you can pick back up right
where you left off the last time you saw each other.
~Lisa See
The real lover is the man who can thrill you
just by touching your head or smiling into
your eyes – or just by staring into space.
~Marilyn Monroe
Remember even though the outside world might be raining,
if you keep on smiling the sun will soon show its face
and smile back at you. ~Anna Lee
The lotus rises through the murky waters of ponds and lakes yet, when it blooms, it floats upon the surface, its petals shining and untainted by the mud from which it emerged.
Love is a mind that brings peace, joy, and happiness to another person. Compassion is a mind that removes the suffering that is present in the other. We all have the seeds of love and compassion in our minds, and we can develop these fine and wonderful sources of energy. We can nurture the unconditional love that does not expect anything in return and therefore does not lead to anxiety and sorrow. The essence of love and compassion is understanding, the ability to recognize the physical, material, and psychological suffering of others, to put ourselves “inside the skin” of the other. We go “inside” their body, feelings, and mental formations, and witness for ourselves their suffering. Shallow observation as an outsider is not enough to see their suffering. We must become one with the object of our observation. When we are in contact with another’s suffering, a feeling of compassion is born in us. Compassion means, literally, “to suffer with.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

As a bee gathering nectar does not harm or disturb the color & fragrance of the flower;
so do the wise move through the world. ~Buddha, The Dhammapada

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
