1. Another blind faith in Cambodia

    14
    I wonder who is behind this, in Cambodia
    Do some research, before believing in nonsense!
    Do not forget: Thean Vuthy destroys buddhism

    Sixty-six Buddha statues were discovered recently, through a 16-year-old boy’s dream. The poor ones are going to believe this crazy rumor predicted by liars again till the liars drain every single penny from their pockets… Good luck Cambodia!

  3. May All Your Dreams Come True

    61

    Time goes on,
    Will not stop for me nor for you.

    Hope is the one, that keeps on moving us.
    Yes that's true.

    True is the fact,
    Hope has 'spiritual grace'.

    Embedded with strength and courage,
    Guide us to run in the race.

    Let your hope never die,
    Never let it remain away from you.

    Hope is the strength,
    Strength to run your life all through.

    Never feel lonely, never feel sad,
    Let hope be there with you, to make you feel glad.

    Life is beautiful,
    at times life gets tough,

    Hope is the one that keeps you strong,
    No matter how life gets rough.

    May 'Hope' remain be by your side,
    May it never gets apart from you.

    May it be your strength,
    May every dream, every desire of you come true.

    Poem title: Hope ''Spiritual Grace''

  4. Family is not always blood

    233

    Family is not always blood.
    It’s the people in your life
    who want you in theirs,
    the ones who accept you for
    who you are. The ones who would
    do anything to see you smile,
    and who love you no matter what.

    ~Unknown

  5. A Spiritual Journey

    30

    Many lovely stories have been told
    So passionately, rich they are like gold.
    Strong feelings, lively emotions have been preserved
    So intensely, true they are so vivid! 
    Daily melodies have added a sweet flavour
    Conveying divine messages from our Saviour.
    A spiritual journey had its start, 
    And it will never stop or fall apart.
    She is pursuing her dream warmly
    Enlightened by the ONE who attentively
    Guides her, feeding her soul and mind
    To be able to reach there those so kind!

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
