1. May Each Day Be Blessed

    28

     
    May each day be blessed
    With all sorts of wonderful things;
    Like the comfort of love and the joy of hope
    And the warmth that having a good friend brings
     
    May your tomorrows be carefree;
    Free from worries and fears
    May each moment be magical
    Lasting through the years
     
    May this day find you well
    As you cross my mind
    And may you know that you’re
    An important person in my life

  2. My Dreams Are With That Sun

    98

    See that golden hue
    Burning in the west
    My dreams are with that color
    My dreams are the sun
    The sun always sets
    But never seems to rise
    That sun carries my dreams
    Slowly out of my reach
    I watch it slide away
    Leaving me behind
    The color disappears
    My dreams are with that sun
    Whenever the sun sets
    It rises in another place
    A place blessed by that light
    My dreams are hidden in that light
    At my window seat
    I watch the sun take it all away
    My dreams are with the sun
    My dreams are the sun

  3. Never take someone for granted

    93

    Never take someone for granted,
    Hold every person close to your heart
    because you might wake up one day
    and realize that you've lost a diamond
    while you were too busy collecting stones…

  4. Seeds of Love

    66

    We all have the seeds of love in us.
    We can develop this wonderful source of energy,
    nurturing the unconditional love
    that does not expect anything in return.

  5. Look To The Light

    64

    Where Do I go from here?
    Where does life start or end
    When there are so many bends?
    Can it be there is no beginning?
    No ending or between?

    Perhaps it is just becoming, existing and 
    The endlessness of being.
    Look for where the brightest light shines 
    To show your path to you 
    One with all the signs 
    That point to a better view

    Travel round the roadblocks
    Whenever they appear and remember!
    When life is clear
    Spirit is near so trust and progress
    And let go of fear.

  6. A New Dawn

    47

    This moment can be
    A New Dawn,
    A New Day….
    Forgive, Forget,
    and move on
    Ask your self;
    Do I wish to keep repeating the pattern?
    Perhaps it's time for something NEW

  7. The serenity of the day

    49

    Air is warm
    Laying down enjoying
    The serenity of the day
    Listening to sounds passing
    Wondering what they are
    Breeze passes over me
    A touch so light
    A tickle on a babies skin
    Playing with the leaves
    Creating the lazy feel
    Look up at the sky
    So blue and unchanging
    Lost in its vastness
    Wishing time would stop
    Breathing oh so lightly
    Chest hardly moves
    Relaxing
    Not a care in the world

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
