1. Part of life…

    Comment

    The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific
    about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting
    total responsibility for every part of their life. ~Motivationgrid

  2. It's raining really hard…

    1

    Heavy rain and very cold today. Been walking in the rain for quite a while.

    Happiness comes more easily when you feel good about yourself without
    feeling the need for anyone else’s approval. ~Cris Nikolov   Link to Google+

  3. Keep being YOU…

    Comment

    When other people treat you poorly, walk away, smile and keep
    being YOU. Don’t ever let someone else’s bitterness change
    the person you are. One of the most freeing things we learn in life
    is that we don’t have to like everyone, everyone doesn’t have
    to like us, and that’s OK. ~Cris Nikolov

  4. Within our reach…

    Comment

    True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious
    dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves
    with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with
    what we have, which is sufficient. The greatest blessings
    of mankind are within us and within our reach,
    we just haven’t realized that. The only person
    who can hurt your happiness in the long run is YOU.

    Be back to visit some of you within 3 hours. Heavy rain and very very cold today. Been waiting for the rain to stop so I could return home. My clothes and my hair are all wet. I could not smile in this photo because it's freezing! Finally, I am home…Going to meditate for couple hours. See you after the meditation.

  7. Every night

    202

    I pray to God every night
    For your mornings to be nice and bright
    For your dreams to come true
    Because for me, the most important is YOU.

My reflection

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

Hermit of Tbeng Mountain

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
