1. Goodbye Nemo

    50

    Thank you so much my dear g+ friends
    for all your prayers and for being
    so kind to me during this dangerous storm.
    I survived the storm, with no harm,
    only lost 5 pounds, not bad. I'll make up soon.

    Finally our driveway is clean again!
    With the help of my two little brothers
    and my auntie, we finished shoveling
    the snow in 8 hours. Mom is very happy!
    However, everyone admits that
    a vegetarian works faster than meat eaters :)))
    Now, I am back to my usual business…

  2. A lot more snow than predicted

    34

    I have never seen this much snow since I came to U.S.A. The snow is still falling and very windy too, almost knocked me down a few times. Well, Nemo storm is still very friendly to me. Okay, today, seems like I will have to shovel the snow all day, all by myself, since I am the only healthy person in the family :))))) Not sure how long I will survive!

  3. Time to play with the snow

    54

    Lots and lots of snow!
    I finally got home!
    Just helped mom shovel
    the snow for three hours.
    Snow are still falling like tears,
    but my mother said 
    I could take a break for now.
    After 3 hours I would not say, "NO"

  4. Our Beloved

    25

    A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but if we try to put it in a tin can so we can have it entirely to ourselves, the breeze will die. Our beloved is the same. He is like a breeze, a cloud, a flower. If you imprison him in a tin can, he will die. Yet many people do just that. They rob their loved one of his liberty, until he can no longer be himself. They live to satisfy themselves and use their loved one to help them fulfill that. That is not loving; it is destroying.

  5. Nemo Storm

    The storm will get really bad by 1pm.
    I hope I can still drive back home, by then.
    The editor said I can return home around noon.

  6. Anger and Peace

    22

    Anger says:
    “I can destroy the whole world.”

    Peace says:
    “Not when I work inside you."

  7. Angel’s Song

    20

    Kind words are the music of the world.
    They have a power which seems to be
    beyond natural causes, as if they were
    some angel’s song which had lots its way
    and come to earth. ~Frederick W. Faber

  8. Tomorrow May Never Come

    23

    Today I'm gonna try a little harder,
    gonna make every minute last longer,
    gonna learn to forgive and forget,
    'cause we don't have long,
    gonna make the most of it,
    today I'm gonna love my enemies,
    reach out to somebody who needs me,
    make a change, make the world a better place
    'cause tomorrow could be one day too late.

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
