1. Kids Thoughts on Love

    14

    We need to learn from them

    When someone loves you,
    the way they say your name is different.
    You just know that your name
    is safe in their mouth.

  2. Life Is Precious

    48

    Life is so precious
    And each day a gift
    So enjoy every minute
    As it were you last to live

    Cherish your loved ones
    Hug them tight
    Share with them your heart
    And your time

    Nothing is forever
    And life goes so fast
    Each minute that passes
    Is one you can’t get back

    When troubles arrive
    And knock you off your feet
    Stand up and smile
    And remember life is too sweet

    Every morning when you wake,
    Decide right from the start,
    That “Today will be a good day”
    And let it all in with an open heart

    88

    For all my g+ friends
     
    You always know what to do and say.
    To touch my heart and make my day.
    You always know the perfect gift.
    To give my spirit that extra lift.
    Thank you for your thoughtfulness,
    you really made me smile.
    Thank you most for being you,
    with your special style.
    May you be blessed with all good things,
    and never feel deprived.
    May your life be always full of love,
    as long as you're alive.

  4. Fragrance of the Flower

    44

    Have you ever heard
    of a flower that never needs
    Water, soil, or sunshine?

    A flower that stays in full bloom
    Through summer and winter
    Through good times and bad

    A flower that rarely gets smaller,
    growing endlessly.
    A few lost petals,
    A little droop,
    but, without a doubt,
    it will always regrow
    into something more beautiful.

    I have one of those.
    I call it Love.

  5. Love the Ones You Love

    41

    They might leave sooner than you know

    Loss never helps anyone move on,
    only holds them from,
    seeing what is right in front of them,
    love the ones you love,
    you don’t know when they will leave,
    when life gets hard,
    and hands you an obstacle,
    even with teary eyes,
    jump it,
    or you will not continue in life,
    try until you jump it,
    your life will be put on pause
    until you jump,
    up and over,
    love the ones you love,
    they might leave sooner than you know

  6. Look Deeper Into People

    49

    Life has taught me that, sometimes, one must look deeper into people and see their true spirit, what drives them, and who they are, rather than just looking at the outside person. Many misjudgments have been made simply because one was too lazy, too blind, or did not care enough to find the truth or look into another's heart. ~Michelle Williams

  7. Kindness always brings peace to soul & mind

    30

    Kindness is a precious jewel
    That one can give to another
    Kindness is a priceless gem
    That can help you in future.
    Kindness does not require money
    It requires true care
    And affection, love & knowledge
    Today which are very rare.
    Kindness always brings
    Peace to soul & mind
    No better way of salvation
    Other than kindness you would find.
    Kindness cannot be only shown
    By people adult and old
    Kindness can be shown by
    Any heart pure like gold.

  8. Easter Joy

    42

    Jesus came to earth,
    To show us how to live,
    How to put others first,
    How to love and how to give.

    Then He set about His work,
    That God sent Him to do;
    He took our punishment on Himself;
    He made us clean and new.

    He could have saved Himself,
    Calling angels from above,
    But He chose to pay our price for sin;
    He paid it out of love.

    Our Lord died on Good Friday,
    But the cross did not destroy
    His resurrection on Easter morn
    That fills our hearts with joy.

    Now we know our earthly death,
    Like His, is just a rest.
    We’ll be forever with Him
    In heaven, where life is best.

    So we live our lives for Jesus,
    Think of Him in all we do.
    Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.
    Help us love like you!

    ~Written by Joanna Fuchs

  9. Strength of a Man

    90

    The strength of the man isn’t in the width of his shoulders
    It’s in the width of his arms that circle you.

    The strength of the man isn’t in the deep tone of his voice
    It’s in the gentle words he whispers.
    .
    The strength of the man isn’t in how he is respected
    It’s in how he respects you.

    The strength of the man isn’t in how hard he hits
    It’s in how tender he touches.

    The strength of the man isn’t in how many women loves him
    It’s how he can be true to one woman in spite being loved by many.

    ~Written by Lil Island Gal

  10. Miracle of a single Flower

    56

    Nothing is sweeter than love,
    Nothing stronger,
    Nothing higher,
    Nothing wider,
    Nothing more pleasant,
    Nothing fuller or better
    in heaven or earth;
    for love is born of God.

    ~Written by Thomas à Kempis

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
