1. Have faith in yourself…

    Comment

    Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look
    for a successful personality and duplicate it. ~Bruce Lee

  2. Everyone of us…

    Comment

    Everyone of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process,
    care for ourselves. Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give
    something back. ~Princess Diana

  3. First photo taken by my Mother…

    2

    My mother just learned how to take photo this morning. This is a very first snapshot from her. She said she could not find the other half of my body. That’s why you only see the top half of Jendhamuni underneath a few branches with a nervous smile! My mother said she loves those leaves hanging above my head very much!

  4. If someone gives you a gift…

    Comment

    A Buddhist story: A man came shouting angrily at Buddha, who remained unaffected by him. When questioned by others as to how he remained calm and unaffected, Buddha answered with a question.

    “If someone gives you a gift and you choose not to receive it, to whom then does the gift belong?”

    Of course it stays with the giver. ― Bronnie Ware

  5. The fragrance of oneness…

    Comment

    Love is the fragrance of oneness and wholeness. Love is the only thing that can heal. The biggest enemy of love is not hate, its opposite, but fear. Fear resides in the unconscious and our animal nature. Only love can illumine the darkest corners of our soul with joy and consciousness. When love shines in our heart, we’ll keep smiling even through the most painful illness.

    ~Somadevi, 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
