1. Love others regardless of their Differences

    72

    Preaching Without Practice

    I'm so tired
    of having tolerance preached to me
    by men with none of their own.
    Acceptance is a street that goes both ways.
    If you want to be loved
    despite our beliefs
    then you have to love others
    regardless of their differences.
    So don't tell you're not being heard
    when you've got your fingers
    plugging your ears.
    Because there's nothing more frustrating
    than attempting conversation
    with someone who won't see their own hypocrisy.

  2. A Green Rose wants to say something

    504

    I am a green rose
    No one can see me
    Because I won't show myself
    My real self
    All around me are red roses
    I am a green rose
    It's not impossible to find me
    Just try, keep a search
    Where am I
    Where you can find me
    Inside
    Not a red rose
    I’m a green rose
    I’m hard to find
    Impossible to think of
    Amazing in the inside
    Good color
    Forget those red roses
    I’m a green rose
    Different
    Different is always better
    People like different
    Seeing a green rose
    Shocks the world
    I not like a red rose
    Never
    Red roses are always the same
    Like a clique
    There is only one green rose
    that’s me
    I’m a green rose
    Beautiful, Different, Pure Beauty

  3. You Are Beautiful

    191

    If you are being bullied, remember:

    ♥Don’t blame yourself. It is not your fault. No matter what someone says or does, you should not be ashamed of who you are or what you feel. 

    ♥Be proud of who you are. Despite what a bully says, there are many wonderful things about you. Keep those in mind instead of the messages you hear from bullies. 

    ♥Get help. Talk to a parent, teacher, counselor, or other trusted adult. Seeing a counselor does not mean there is something wrong with you. 

    ♥Learn to deal with stress. Finding ways to relieve stress can make you more resilient so you won’t feel overwhelmed by bullying. Exercise, meditation, positive self-talk, muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises are all good ways to manage the stress from bullying.

    What is Bullying

    Bullying is repeated aggressive behavior that can be physical, verbal, or relational. Boys frequently bully using physical threats and actions, while girls are more likely to engage in verbal or relationship bullying. The results are similar:

    ♥You are made to feel hurt, angry, afraid, helpless, hopeless, isolated, ashamed, and even guilty that the bullying is somehow your fault. You may even feel suicidal. 

    ♥Your physical health is likely to suffer, and you are at a greater risk of developing mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or adult onset PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). 

    ♥You’re more likely to miss, skip, or drop out of school to avoid being bullied. 

    The most damaging aspect of bullying is its repetition. Bullies are often relentless, bullying over and over again for long periods of time. You may live in constant fear of where and when the bully will strike next, what they’ll do, and how far they’ll go.

  4. What A Guy Wants

    103

    A guy wants the type of girl
    That doesn't mind staying home
    A guy wants a girl
    He can call his own
    He doesn't want a girl
    Who will cheat
    He doesn't want a girl
    Who is cheap
    He wants a girl
    Who will be his best friend
    He wants a girl
    Who will love him to the very end
    He wants a girl
    Who he can depend on
    He wants a girl
    Who will tell him when he's wrong
    A guy wants a girl
    Who will never lie
    Even if it means
    One ends up crying
    What a guy wants in a girl
    Is passion and trust
    But most of all
    A guy wants to love and not to lust

  5. What A Woman Wants

    98

     
    A woman wants to be held tight,
    To be told everything will turn out all right,
    She wants a man who understands,
    That she can't always be strong,
    She wants comfort in the night,
    To be told she's safe in her lover's arms.
    She wants to be told she's beautiful,
    Especially when she doesn't feel it,
    She doesn't want to hear frustrated sighs
    When she's down,
    She wants to hear "I Love You".
    A woman wants compassion and love,
    She needs to be told every day
    That she's loved in every way,
    When she's down and you don't know what to do,
    Just hold her close to you,
    She needs to be touched in every way,
    She wants to be romanced,
    She wants to be fought for,
    To know she's worth the sacrifice that you will go through.
    She wants to know you love her deeply,
    And if you don't show it she'll think you don't.
    So if you want a woman's heart,
    Just keep one thing in mind,
    She'll give you everything she's got,
    If you do the same,
    But if you deceive her,
    There's only so far you can go,
    Before her love starts to die,
    And in the end it will be you whose left to cry.

    ~By Shelly Dyke

    ….•*•.¸¸. ♥ 
    Notes From The Author: To all the men out there, take care of your woman and she'll take care of you. Treat her with respect and love, don't deceive her.

    I want to g+
    My heart says “Yes”
    My eyes say “No”
    What should I do?

  8. What A Rose Can Say

    502

     A rose can say I love you and want you to be mine,
     A rose can say I thank you for being so very kind,
     A rose can say congratulations, whatever the occasion may be,
     A rose can say I miss you and wish you were here with me,
     A rose can say I'm sorry if I've hurt you in any way,
     A rose can say get well soon, May God bless you today,
     A rose can say I wish you happiness, and the best for you each day.
     A rose can say farewel when someone goes away,
     A rose can say hello, I'm thinking of you today,
     There's just so many wonderful things that a rose can say,
     A rose can say goodbye when a love one is laid to rest,
     No matter what there is to say, a rose can say it best.

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
