1. Sunset Thinking

    118

    Do you ever watch the sunset
    And just sit and think about things
    Just you and the sky and darkness
    Giving your thoughts some wings

    Perhaps you've got some troubles
    And don't know what to do
    Or you just plain need to get away 
    To spend a little time with you

    Sunset beauty makes you feel as though
    Your life has meaning after all
    To see a sight so extraordinary
    Makes you feel capable, strong and tall

    It's funny how flashes of color
    Like a sunset or sunrise can inspire
    It can calm your inner self a bit
    It's a scene you can never tire

    The serenity gives you a chance
    To put things in perspective 
    Life can be overwhelming at times
    And a sunset can be reflective

    So when the sky lights up next time
    Let your gaze do some drinking
    Soak up all the amazing sights
    And do some sunset thinking!

  2. Each person has something to teach us

    37

    Cultivating respect as a virtue does not mean insisting that all ideas, beliefs, or actions are respect-worthy. It does mean that we recognize the basic human dignity of others, even when their ideas or values are different than our own. A general attitude of respect also assumes that each person has something to teach us if we are willing to learn.

  3. Grilled Veggie Kabobs

    17

    For those who don't know what to cook for their Loved Ones this weekend. Here, one suggestion I have for you. It's the delicious Veggie Kabobs. Please do not ask me for the recipes. It's as simple as you see in the picture. Just stick your favorite veggies on those sticks and grill them as desire. Please do not try to stick some fish, chicken, beef or pork. This is a Veggie Kabobs, stick to the rule, please.  And for the sauce to go with the kabobs, please ask someone else because I never know how to cook anything :)))))

  5. A Candle Flame

    111

    A candle flame lights the night
    Like the sun lights the day
    The peacefulness of a flame
    Can chase the loneliness away

    A candle flame can be a light of hope
    As the flickering from the flame
    Can calm an excited soul
    In church you can light a candle in God's name

    It can burn eternal on a grave
    It can help someone find their way
    It can light a darkened world
    It can bring hope to a new day

  7. Respect

    23

    Every good relationship,
    especially marriage,
    is based on respect.
    If it's not based on respect,
    nothing that appears
    to be good will last very long.

  8. Your body is free but your heart is in prison

    Night Time

    The night is cold
    The night is sad for some
    The night is so dark
    The night come and go like my love for you
    The night is time for me to sleep and dream of you
    The night is everywhere I go
    The night is time for some people to have fun
    The night is so alone for me
    I hate the night because is reminds me of you
    The night was when we had fun 
    The night is so alone now 
    The night is what you love 
    But now the night is what I hate because of you.

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
