Whenever you feel a spark of annoyance, turn it around and find a trait
for which to be grateful. Think of petty annoyances as a spark from a
broken match that hits a carpet. Leave it alone and it will simmer and
leave a mark. Stamp it out immediately and it’s gone.
In some ways walking the love road and starting with gratitude,
forgiveness, and appreciation is like cleaning out closets, desk
drawers, or tackling a pile of papers. You feel better and you sleep
better with the clutter cleared away. With the gratitude plan, you are
essentially clearing out feelings that keep your relationship from
thriving. The ultimate goal is to create a mindset for unconditional
love.

We find ourselves with high aspirations but with
no time to attain them. Meanwhile, the great troop
of passions and desires, selfish motives and ambitions,
make war within us and with others and, they pursue
us till the time of our death. All these forces must
be tried, conquered, subdued and used.
~Ven. Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda
Let yourself be open and life will be easier.
A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes
the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt
in a lake is almost unnoticed.
― Buddha
~Ven. Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda

I’m a little behind, with everything!
But need to get a little beauty sleep first
so I can make the delicious smoothie
for glowing skin when I get up!
Visit more friends later.
Till then, keep smiling!
~Jendhamuni
Pure love has nothing to do with the body. It binds
and unites the soul of the lover with the soul of beloved.
But, pure love does involve tremendous amount
of self-sacrifice, it may cause great pain, but pure love
always culminates in everlasting bliss.

Whatever action you have performed by body, speech
or mind, think: “Was this action harmful to myself
or to others or both? Did this action produce suffering?”
If it was harmful, avoid doing it.

Listen to Khmer literature and Dhamma talk by His Holiness Jotannano Chuon Nath, Supreme Patriarch of Cambodia Buddhism.
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
