1. My little sister and I

    133

    Our family just buried our little sister, Alanthara on our 28th anniversary in America, today [November 9 ]. Yes, this day is bittersweet for us. Coincidentally, little sister is now Dany Svay's neighbor at the cemetery. Dany is a grandson of our family's very close friend and room mate in Texas. We moved to Massachusetts together on November 3, 1987, the day my little sister passed away [26 years later]. Dany died from drowning at his high school pool on April 9th, 2013 at age 16. We purchased a plot for our little sister, without knowing…From now on my mother and Dany's grandma can cry together during their visits….
  2. I'm doing fine

    Thank you for your kind messages. Please do not worry about me. I am doing fine. I know it's very difficult for my parents and siblings to get through each day without our little sister. We have been together for 26 years. I was shocked when my little brother came to my room around 3 am to deliver this sad news… I don't know how to cry… Unlike everyone else, my eyes are very dry. I have no tears to cry…

    She passed a way 14 hours ago…
    My brothers and sisters said this is her favorite photo…
    Her son  just turned 5, last week. Now he lost his mom…
  4. Just understanding

    No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you
    understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change. ~Thich Nhat Hạnh
  5. The Earth is so Beautiful

    280

    The earth is so beautiful. We are beautiful also. We can allow ourselves to walk mindfully, touching the earth, our wonderful mother, with each step. We don't need to wish our friends, 'Peace be with you.' Peace is already with them. We only need to help them cultivate the habit of touching peace in each moment. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

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

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
