1. Not from what you perceive

    18

    Befriend yourself. Your self-worth should come from within, not from what you perceive that others think of you. Attachment to others gets unhealthy when you're continuing to be around people who are toxic for you just because you're afraid of being alone or left out. By befriending yourself, you won't fear the times of being alone as much, and you will also open up to being available to a wider group of people rather than attaching to merely a few. And strive to maintain healthy relationships with the people you do interact with daily, giving one another breathing space and not expecting too much of others. Source: wikiHow

  2. Do not expect too much…

    Comment

    Stopping by, reminding you to smile… Still have several more tasks to complete.
    As soon as I’m done, I will come by to visit some of you. Miss all of you very much…
    Practice detaching yourself from things that are difficult to let go. Nothing is permanent.
    Do not expect too much. Craving and clinging will make you suffer, angry, lonely and sad.
    The more you let go, the more you will experience peace. ~Jendhamuni   Link to Google+

    Stopping by, reminding you to smile. So tired… Still have several more tasks to complete. As soon as I'm done, I will come by to visit some of you. Miss all of you very much… Practice detaching yourself from things that are difficult to let go. Nothing is permanent. Do not expect too much. Craving and clinging will make you suffer, angry, lonely and sad. The more you let go, the more you will experience peace. ~Jendhamuni

  4. Beyond the control…

    Comment

    Look around and enjoy all the beautiful things that are around you, rather than yearn for things
    that are beyond your control and become miserable. ~Unknown    Link to Google+

  5. Life isn’t full of darkness

    Comment

    Life isn’t full of darkness. Even if storms come to pass, the sun
    will shine again. No matter how painful and hard the rain may
    beat down on you. ~Unknown

  6. Everything in Nature…

    Comment

    Everything in Nature goes so beautifully in accord,
    because nobody is trying to compete with anybody,
    nobody is trying to become anybody else. ~Osho

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
