1. My message…

    Comment

    At this moment 3.7 Millions are sleeping,
    2.3 Millions are falling in Love,
    4.1 Million are eating and
    only cute people in the whole world
    are reading my message and smiling…

  2. Like the rain…

    Comment

    Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots keeping itself alive. ~Paulo Coelho

  3. The feeling

    1

    When one has the feeling
    of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in
    listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and
    appreciates them, one is free of fear. ~Buddha

  4. Forests were the first temples of the Divinity

    Comment

    A tree is beautiful, but what’s more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees. Forests create climate, climate influences peoples’ character, and so on and so forth. There can be neither civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if the climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe. — Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

  5. What make life interesting…

    Comment

    Ask yourself how you’d want to be treated in a given situation, and make an effort to treat other people that way. Treat everyone you encounter as an individual worthy of basic kindness and courtesy. Treating people with respect makes the world a much more pleasurable place for everyone

    Don’t discriminate. Be respectful to everyone – not just people you know or those you perceive as having a higher status than you. Many people save their respect for people upon whom they want to make a good impression, and they’re rude to everyone else. But there is truth in the saying, “You can judge the character of others by how they treat those who can do nothing for them or to them.”

    • This means you should be as kind to those who aren’t as “cool” as you as you are to the most popular people you know.
    • Be kind to people you encounter throughout the day who aren’t always treated with respect. For example, homeless people are often overlooked or treated rudely, but they deserve the same respect and courtesy as anyone else.

    Respect differences. Be respectful to people who are different from you, even if you don’t understand them very well. The differences among us are what make life interesting, and besides, you probably have more in common with people than you know. Even when you really don’t see where someone else is coming from, be courteous and civil. You don’t have to love everyone you meet, and you certainly don’t have to agree with them, but you can still show them respect.

    • Be respectful of people’s cultural differences.
    • Be respectful of people with different religious beliefs.
    • Be respectful of people with different politics from you.
    • Be respectful of people on the team that rivals yours (and fans of the other team).

  7. The world’s true strength

    Comment

    In separateness lies the world’s great misery, 
    in compassion lies the world’s true strength.

    A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service
    and compassion are the things which renew humanity.

    ~Buddha

     

  8. The moment Love arises in the Heart, all fear disappears…

    Comment

    Love and hate are not real opposites, but love and fear are real opposites. Hate can become love very easily: it is really love standing upside-down. It is not very far from love, it is love energy in a disturbed state. The energy can be calmed, stilled. It is only a question of rearranging the energy, and hate can become love. And we know – it happens every day in life – love can become hate, hate can become love. You hate the same person and you love the same person. One moment you hate, another moment you love. So love and hate are two sides of the same coin, they are not real opposites. ~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

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
