1. The stars are out

    223

    The stars are out, the moon is up,
    Moon has come to color your dreams,
    Stars to make them musical
    and my colorful rose to give you a warm
    and peaceful sleep.

    In this lovely night,
    I pray to the blue moon to protect you through the night
    the wind to blow away your stress
    and the twinkle stars to guide you the way…

  2. Learn to be calm

    Comment

    Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes
    do against cold.  For it you put on more clothes as the cold increases,
    it will have no power to hurt you.  So in like manner you must grow
    in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will be powerless
    to vex your mind. ~Leondardo Da Vinci

  3. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars

    For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

    When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, your’re the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

  5. Inexhaustible…

    Comment

    For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give,
    the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead,
     the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.

    ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

  6. It never troubles the sun

    109

    I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new. May your day be peaceful and beautiful!
    Why should I cumber myself with regrets that the receiver is not capacious? It never troubles the sun that some of his rays fall wide and vain into ungrateful space, and only a small part on the reflecting planet. Let your greatness educate the crude and cold companion. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

  7. Those moments in life…

    Comment

    It is always important to know when something has reached its end.
    Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter
    what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life
    that are over. ~Paulo Coelho

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
