1. Modi Invokes Mahatma Gandhi to Clean Mother Ganga

    269 May 28, 2014

    The first public gestures that Prime Minister Narendra Modi made on his election were to thank two mothers — his own and Mother Ganga, the most famous waterway in India.

    The new leader visited his mom, then went on to Varanasi along the Ganges, India’s most threatened river, where under a canopy brightened with marigold flowers and cheered by his constituents as millions watched on television, Modi promised the sacred river would be clean in five years.

  3. Someone who really loves you

    Comment May 28, 2014

    Someone who really loves you
    sees what a mess you can be,
    how moody you can get,
    how hard you are to handle,
    but still wants you in their life.

  4. A Loving Heart

    Comment May 28, 2014

    What is a loving heart? A loving heart is sensitive to the whole of life, to all persons; a loving heart doesn’t harden itself to any persons or things. ~Anthony de Mello

  5. If a great problem is set before you…

    Comment May 28, 2014

    It is through solving problems correctly that we grow spiritually.  We are never given a burden unless we have the capacity to overcome it.  If a great problem is set before you, this merely indicates that you have the great inner strength to solve a great problem.  There is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty the greater the opportunity for growth.  ~Peace Pilgrim

  6. Dogs are generous creatures

    1 May 28, 2014

    Dogs are generous creatures. They shower their affection
    without expecting anything in return. They have boundless
    energy, enthusiasm, and loyalty. The moment you enter home,
    your dog greets you with warm hugs and licks.
    Dogs are man’s best friend, no doubt.

  8. Love tips for woman

    Comment May 28, 2014

    If you are in love with someone, don’t spend days and nights chatting with him. It may show the man you love that  you are too easy to get and the relationship will no longer be special. The time you spend together should be precious and priceless. You don’t want him to be able to reach you 24/7, otherwise, it’s no longer special. You just need to play a little hard to get! But don’t play too hard to get, because the man you love might think you are a snob and will leave you for someone else!;)

  10. Train your mind

    57 May 27, 2014

    We must train our mind on how to handle sad
    and negative news, so we won't feel disturbed
    by what's happening in this whole world. 
    Inner peace is not about hiding, running a way or blocking
    yourself from all these sad news, but to learn how to face it,
    without judgment and negative reaction. 
    All events are blessings given to us to learn from…

My reflection

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

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
