1. One of the most beautiful flowers of the human soul

    Comment

    One who forgives is forgiven. The quality and capacity to forgive is one of the most beautiful flowers of the human soul. Revenge is ugly, mean; it is falling to the lowest. To forgive is to rise so high. The more one becomes capable of forgiving, the more one’s heart expands, one’s consciousness grows bigger. The day one can forgive all and everything is the day when god meets man, and man meets god. So let this quality of forgiveness become your very center. Don’t forgive in the sense that you are obliging. Don’t forgive as a duty, because then it creates the ego, and a very subtle ego, which is dangerous, more dangerous than revenge itself. The holy ego is the worst possible ego in the world. So don’t be righteous. Take it with ease; to forgive should come naturally, and then it is really a benediction. ~Osho

  2. Be yourself, authentically yourself

    61

    Be yourself, authentically yourself. Respect yourself
    The first step towards discovery is to accept yourself, rejoice in being yourself. Be yourself, authentically yourself. Respect yourself. Love yourself. You are a vast universe! And slowly slowly, as you become more conscious, you will be able to put things right, into right places. You are topsy-turvy, that is true, but nothing is wrong with you. You are not a sinner — just a little rearrangement and you will become a beautiful phenomenon. ~Osho

  3. Looking inside yourself…

    Comment

    Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say
    is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because
    you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends
    on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying
    about you. And you are always following other people, you are
    always trying to satisfy them. You are always trying to be respectable,
    you are always trying to decorate your ego. Rather than being
    disturbed by what others say, you should start looking inside
    yourself.  To know the real self is not so cheap. But people
    are always hankering for cheap things.  ~Osho

  4. Begins right now

    Comment

    The start of a new day begins right now. No going back to rewrite the past. Go forward and rewrite the future. Stop pondering over what you did and did not do. What you could and should not have done. Go forward with new wisdom and knowledge and make the ending much more than the beginning. Starting today, remember the choices you make today can affect your tomorrow so think before you act, before you do and before you don’t. Learning along the way. ~Janice Harri

    The wind awakened the earth,
    The sun brightened up the day
    Birds added music to lives.
    Your smiles bring peace and hope.
    To wake up each day,
    is such a blessing.
    May you be continuously blessed
    With good health and strength.

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
