1. Fragrance of the Heart…

    Comment

    The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit.
    Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know
    how to love. And love cannot exist as a monologue; it is a dialogue,
    a very harmonious dialogue. ~Osho

  2. Precisely what it is…

    Comment

    Become more and more innocent, less knowledgeable and more childlike. Take life as fun – because that’s precisely what it is. Become aware of your aloneness – which is a reality. And it is so beautiful to experience it, to feel it, because it is your freedom from the crowd, from the other. It is your freedom from the fear of being lonely. ~Osho

    Become more and more innocent, less knowledgeable and more childlike. Take life as fun – because that's precisely what it is. Become aware of your aloneness – which is a reality. And it is so beautiful to experience it, to feel it, because it is your freedom from the crowd, from the other. It is your freedom from the fear of being lonely. ~Osho

  4. They have ups and downs

    Comment

    Life and relationships are like roller coasters; they have ups and downs, twists and turns, and you never know what speed you’ll be going, at any point in time. You’ll never know what’s coming…a drop, a loop, a hard turn, or maybe a climb to the top of a steep hill…. So sometimes you try to sit in the front, first row so that you’re prepared for anything that happens. But even that doesn’t help because no matter how much you think you’re prepared, life will always, always keep you on your toes and hit you with something unexpected: A feeling, an emotion, a bruise, a scrap, a scar, a hole, and most of all an obstacle. But no matter what…you have to try it for yourself. Don’t judge it by looking at it or even hearing what people say about it. Learn from the real experience. Because no matter what you see or hear… your every roller coaster and ride is different… ~David Milligan

  5. Because…

    Comment

    We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because
    we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy
    because we have known sadness. ~David Weatherford

  6. The precious gift costs nothing

    Comment

    Our smile will bring happiness to us and to those around us.
    Even if we spend a lot of money on gifts for everyone
    in our family, nothing we buy could give them as much
    happiness as the gift of our awareness, our smile.
    And this precious gift costs nothing. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

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

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
