1. Cold night…

    Comment

    On this cold night, in my small room,
    I look at the bright stars in the dark sky,
    thinking of you and the genuine smile
    on your beautiful and peaceful face…

  2. Not by running away from things…

    Comment

    Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world,
    or by running away from things, or by turning solitary
    and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn
    an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be.
    We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.

    ~Meister Eckhart

  3. I give you mine…

    Comment

    If care is a wave, I give you sea.
    If respect is a leaf, I give you a tree.
    If trust is a planet, I give you a galaxy.
    If friendship is a life, I give you mine, for free.

  4. I know they do…

    Comment

    Friends change, I know they do… but this friend will always belong to you.
    Some friends hurt you, I know they do… but this friend gets hurt even more, without you.

    The sunshine of your smile can chase the clouds away so keep smiling!

  5. Reminding you…

    Comment

    Reminding you to get up and rise and be thankful that you get
    to live for another day. Do not think too much. Smile as much
    as you can. Whatever that is about to happen will happen,
    for that particular reason. No need to worry. Things will appear
    and disappear accordingly, due time and the condition…
    Nothing in this world happens without a reason…

  6. Don’t ever give up…

    Comment

    Don’t ever give up when you are down. It doesn’t matter if you fall many times.
    Just remember that each time you fall, I’ll never let you reach the ground.
    Trust me, I will always be around. ~sms4smile

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
