1. True Love is so Pure

    75

    When you love someone,
    you love the whole person,
    just as he or she is,
    and not as you would
    like them to be.

    ~Leo Tolstoy

  2. Give Yourself a Moment

    264

    When you called out a name;
    but there was no encouragement
    and nobody came.
    Simply light a candle…
    feel the comfort in its glow.
    Soon you’ll sense a ‘Presence’
    and your loneliness will go.
    Refresh yourself each day…
    within the candle’s ray.
    Use the ‘Light’ it sheds on you…
    to chase darkness away.
    Give yourself a moment,
    in a place where you’re apart.
    Surrender in the solitude…
    the burdens of your heart.
    Peacefulness will follow,
    bringing harmony to heal.
    Light a candle as a symbol –
    of a ‘Presence’ which is real

    ~Roslyn (Ros) Mansell

     

  3. Real Friends

    A real friend would forgive
    If I did something wrong
    A real friend will lend a hand
    Whenever I’m not strong
    A real friend would listen
    If I tried to speak
    A real friend will accept
    Whether I am strong or weak
    A real friend would care
    If I ever fell ill
    A real friend will know
    How I really feel
    A real friend would always be there
    If I need them by my side
    A real friend will remember me
    Long after I have died
    A real friend would be forever
    If I even moved away
    A real friend will never truly leave
    In each other’s hearts we shall always stay

    ~Written by Angel Dunne

  4. A Prayer

    19

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace. Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
    Amen.

  5. Living with Love, Grace, and Gratitude

    45

    I’m thankful for the birds;
    I feel like they’re singing just for me
    when I get up in the morning…
    Saying, ‘Good morning. You made it’

    ~Johnny Cash

  6. Never Alone

    98

    I am never alone.
    I have you near
    I am never alone
    I have nothing to fear
    I am never alone
    You help me stand
    I cry oceans of tears
    you dry each and every one.
    you are my miracle
    you are my sun
    I am never alone
    I’ve reached out my hand
    We together are strong
    together we stand.

    ~written by Jennie Davis

  7. The true love

    68

    Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. ~Aristotle

  8. Listen to the sunset

    39

    Listen to the sunset,
    Can you hear its quiet sigh?
    Listen, the sun is falling
    Watch it toning down the sky.

    ~All Best Messages

  9. Priceless Love

    89

    Love is Priceless,
    Nothing could buy it,
    no one can sell an “I love you” on e-bay.
    A hug at wal-mart
    a Kiss at k-mart.
    a “you still so pretty” when your old and Grey,
    a “you my only one” when you on your death bed.
    Love may have its Prices,
    but all together it’s priceless.
    Be happy with what you got,
    Don’t want a super star,
    when you have a sweet heart.
    Don’t want a Bad boy,
    when you have a humor man.
    Don’t take things for granted,
    be happy
    cause remember
    …….Love is Priceless…..

    ~by Pansy

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

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
