  2. The richest person

    42

    The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least. Wealth is a mindset. Want less and appreciate more today. ~Angel, Everyday Life Lessons

    Wireless electricity may soon power cell phones, cars and even heart pumps
    Wireless electricity isn’t a new concept – it was publicly demonstrated over 100 years ago by Nikola Tesla – but has remained elusive in broad commercial applications.

    However, a startup company says they are working to change that, with a business model that could make portable power commonplace…read more

  7. 10 tax audit red flags

    16

    Be careful not to overstate your good deeds. The IRS has calculated the average donation level for each income range, so anything that far exceeds those amounts could cause the agency to take a second look at your return.

    You're required to keep receipts for any donations exceeding $250, and to fill out Form 8283 for any non-cash donations exceeding $500.

    And be realistic: non-cash donations are where a lot of people often exaggerate, so remember that the items you're giving to Goodwill should be valued at the price someone would actually pay for it — not the amount you bought it for years ago…read more

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
