1. Smiling Competition

    111

    "Always smile, you never know who could be falling in love with it"

    I told the boy to smile, but he cheats
    He laughs instead.
    I guess I am not a good baby-sitter.
    Children never listen to my instructions:))))

  2. Snow Day

    70

    Will be snowing all day here. Heavy traffics. Many accidents already. I'm surprised many schools are not cancelled. My car spinned three times already this morning – very scary.

  3. Meditation

    39

    There are thousands upon thousands of students 
    who have practiced meditation and obtained its fruits. 
    Do not doubt its possibilities because
    of the simplicity of the method. 
    If you can not find the truth right where you are, 
    where else do you expect to find it?
    ~Dogen

  4. Hate and Love

    20

    In this world
    Hate never yet dispelled hate.
    Only love dispels hate.
    This is the law,
    Ancient and inexhaustible.

    ~The Dhammapada

  6. Buddhist song

    28

    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…

  7. Problem-solver and Complainer

    30

    When you consistently maintain a positive frame of mind,
    you’ll become known as a problem-solver rather than
    a complainer. People avoid complainers.
    They seek out problem-solvers.

    ~Joseph Sommerville

  8. World Peace

    22

    World peace can be achieved
    When, in each person,
    The power of love 
    Replaces the love of power.

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
