1. Do not afraid to face criticism

    108 September 14, 2013

    We must learn how to handle negative comments on social media. Do not allow negative people to live in your head. Do not go to sleep with them. Go to sleep with the person you love instead. You need to show the negative people how to live your own life, by totally ignoring their comments; by letting them write on your posts freely, A-L-O-N-E. Responding to them is showing that you are participating in the ignorant world. If you cannot handle negative comments on social media, how are you going to fight the real battle in the real world, in your real life. It's a piece of cake to pretend to be an angel behind the computer screen, but it does not work like that in real life…Be tough! No one in this world will have time to criticize you every day, without your permission. You get hurt because you allow negative people to hurt you. And that is your own fault…~Jendhamuni

  2. Pleasure Seeker Is Swept Away

    47 September 14, 2013

    For one who has a clinging mind
    and gathers only pleasure-flowers,
    Death does seize and carry away
    as great flood a sleeping village.

    Explanation: Those men and women , fascinated by worldly things, go about seeking pleasure, like a garland-maker picking the flowers of his choice in a garden. But, gradually and silently, death overcomes them like a flood in the night sweeping away a village asleep.

    ~The Buddha – Dhammapada

  3. Today is my Lucky Day

    44 September 14, 2013

    Every day is my Lucky Day, because every single day I master my thoughts, my words and never allow my body to harm anyone, not even a bug. Therefore, I don't have to run around looking for a fortune teller to bring me luck, or asking a holly man for a holly water to take a way my bad luck. It's better living just one day in a wise man lifestyle than one hundred years as a selfish and a scary person… Jendhamuni

  4. Keep in Mind

    58 September 13, 2013

    As a friend, I want to be like your sister, where I can lend a helping hand. I am not the type of person who would agree with everything you said. If your actions are not wise, I will point them out, whether you like it or not. You may be angry at me at the moment, but down the road, when what I said makes sense to you, you will appreciate it. I'm here to promote inner peace and loving kindness. If you come to me and say, your friend stole your diamond ring, I will not encourage you to call the police and put her in jail or go smack her in the face. I will instead tell you to practice compassion and forgive her. Everything happens for a reason. This happens because of that….Nothing ever exist alone, by itself. I strongly believe in the law of karma…~Jendhamuni

  7. We are all faced with the same Obstacles

    120 September 11, 2013

    The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud — the obstacles of life and its suffering. … The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. … Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. ~Goldie Hawn

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
