  2. Life is like a Baseball Game

    29 March 19, 2013

    Life is like a baseball game;
    Every pitch is not the same.
    You get several chances at a hit,
    But Pay attention
    Cause if you miss
    The game could be over quick, quick, quick.

    Poetry by Natasha Niemi

  3. Secret Garden

    95 March 17, 2013

    You have planted a seed in the secret garden of my soul, that I will water everyday and give it love to grow.
    I will nurture it and take care to give it all that it needs, and grow a symbol of our love from this sacred seed.
    As I watch it blossom I think of you here with me, and dream of the blessed day when together we shall be.
    If you are ever lonely or sad and blue, step into our secret garden where I wait for you.
    Come share in the splendor that our love has grown, and in my arms by this rose let our secret be known.
    Love is like a garden, it needs to be nurtured and tended.

  4. Flowers can brighten a sad day

    67 March 17, 2013

    Flower petals…
    Flowers fall,
    they dance
    in a warm breeze.

    Flower petals,
    they come in
    colors you don’t
    even know of.
    but they are as
    beautiful as can be.

    Flowers fragrance,
    is the softess, and
    sweetest fragrance
    nature can provide.

    Flowers are beautiful,
    flowers can be given as
    a gift of love or a special
    friendship.Or to brighten
    a sad day.

    Flowers…
    are one of the
    joys in life no one
    can take.

    ~Morgan Evans

  6. Love can hurt and Love can heal

    77 March 16, 2013

    What is love, Love can’t see you but you can’t see it
    Love is a sneaky thing I guess sort of slick

    Love can hurt and Love can heal
    Love can be born and Love can kill

    Love has won and Love has lost
    Love can catch and Love can toss

    Love can stand and Love can fall
    Love is small and Love is tall

    Love is right and Love is wrong
    Love is weak but Love is strong

    Love is up and Love is down
    Love can smile and Love can frown

    Love is good and Love can be bad
    Love is quite and Love can brag

    Love is a little and Love is a lot
    Love contiues and Love stops

    Love can hope and Love can dream
    Love can talk and Love can sing

    Love can be a word or Love can be a ring
    Love can be nothing or Love can be everything

    So where is this thing we call Love
    I dont know the only real love we have comes from above…

    Poem title: LOVE IS

  7. A Hopeful Dream

    27 March 14, 2013

    A life I think is full of hope,
    Is turned in to something to just help me cope,
    With all the lies and stares,
    All I can do is just try not to care,
    But deep inside I feel it over flowing,
    All the anger, tears, and sorrow,
    Trying to keep it to myself,
    Is harder then any thing else,
    But if i let it go,
    I will hurt way more then you know,
    So I’ll keep it to myself,
    Put my head down and take it all,
    Cause one day I will look up,
    You know what I’ll see,
    A better Life,
    One with no anger, tears, or Sorrow,
    One with a hopeful Tomorrow,
    When that happens I’ll hold my head up,
    I’ll know that nothing will hold me down,
    So until that day comes,
    I’ll keep going,
    Keep moving on,
    Until that wonderful day comes along!

  9. I Watch My Butterfly Every Day

    183 March 12, 2013

    I watched a Butterfly today,
    She seemed to know the right way.

    She would flutter here and flutter there
    And then she landed on my chair.

    The sunlight glistened off her beautiful wings
    And I swear I heard her begin to sing.

    Her colors were all purples and pinks
    And I could feel an emptiness in me begin to sink.

    A Coldness in my heart began to melt
    And a warmness replaced it, which I have never felt.

    With one last chorus she fluttered high
    I thought if I lost her I just might die.

    Then I heard a voice, crystal clear
    You shall never loose me; I will always be near.

    So I have planted a butterfly garden you see,
    For a butterfly must always be free.

    And I watch my butterfly every day,
    So that I too, now know the way.

  10. All Things Bright and Beautiful     

    275 March 12, 2013

     
    All things bright and beautiful,
    All creatures great and small,
    All things wise and wonderful,
    The Lord God made them all.
    Each little flower that opens,
    Each little bird that sings,
    He made their glowing colors,
    He made their tiny wings.
    The purple-headed mountain,
    The river running by,
    The sunset, and the morning,
    That brightens up the sky;
    The cold wind in the winter,
    The pleasant summer sun,
    The ripe fruits in the garden,
    He made them every one.
    He gave us eyes to see them,
    And lips that we might tell,
    How great is God Almighty,
    Who has made all things well.

    ~By Cecil Frances Alexander

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
