1. The most powerful and heartbreaking images of the little monk

    215

    Little monk from my homeland, Cambodia, brings food to his father who is in jail. This is an example of an unconditional love. We should love our parents, unconditionally. We would not be here, without them. Even if they are hated or rejected by everyone in the society, still, as the son or daughter, we should never reject our parents. We must reach out to them, extend our love and compassion, just like the ocean, that does not reject anyone… ~Jendhamuni

  2. The joy and happiness

    Comment

    Appreciate the people in your life. If you want to be a more caring person, then you have to appreciate the people in your life as much as you can. Be thankful and grateful for your family members, your friends, your significant other, or any of the people who make your life more meaningful and positive. Don’t focus on the things that you’re missing or the rude comments you have to deal with sometimes, and think about all of the joy and happiness that people bring to your life instead. This will not only put you in a better frame of mind, but it will make it easier for you to care about the people around you more. Source: wikiHow
     

  3. People in your life…

    Comment

    Being caring allows you to have empathy for others
    and to live a life based on affection, love, and compassion
    for the people around you. It can be tempting to fall into
    a life of selfishness and to focus only on your own goals
    and desires, but your days will be far more rewarding
    if you think about what the people in your life are thinking
    and feeling. Being caring means providing a listening ear,
    noticing when someone needs help, and helping your
    community without asking for a reward.

    With a faithful stewardship, the earth will continue to offer its harvest.

    “What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are 
    doing to ourselves and to one another.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

  6. Do not be afraid

    Comment

    Do not be afraid; our fate cannot be taken
    from us; it is a gift. ~Dante Alighieri

  7. The thoughts of God…

    Comment

    You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive truth; all things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God. ~ Wallace D. Wattles

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
