1. Sweet Silence

    49

    All the faces had so many traces
    Yet it was the reflection in the sweet silence
    Of my meditation which brought me here.
    ~Silent Lotus

    Me watching dolphins in Cambodia. Ten minutes later, someone stole my purse. Hope that thief is on g+ and s/he should be rich by now :)))))))

    Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.  ~Paul Simon

    I want to dress up like this everywhere I go…

    and still look very pretty…..only if…..you are pretty:))))

  3. An inner sense of calm

    27

    Peacefulness is an inner sense of calm – it comes from becoming still – in order to reflect and meditate on our inner wisdom and receive answers. A peaceful heart is one that is free from worry and trouble. It's becoming quiet so we can look at things quietly so we can more clearly understand them and thus come up with creative solutions. It is learning to live in the present. ~Wayne W. Dyer

  4. The Honest Truth   

    40

    When we first meet with the fires of greed, aversion, and delusion, we find them comforting and warm. We're like a person sitting by a fire in the cold season: As he sits soaking up the warmth, he gets more and more sleepy and careless until he burns his hands and feet without realizing it, and eventually falls head-first into the flames.

  5. The source of Love

    26

    The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy. ― Thich Nhat Hanh

  6. Give up anger

    18

    Give up anger; renounce pride; 
    transcend all worldly attachments. 
    No sufferings touch the person
    who is not attached to name and form, 
    who calls nothing one's own. 
    Whoever restrains rising anger like a chariot gone astray, 
    that one I call a real driver; 
    others merely hold the reins.

    Overcome anger by love; overcome wrong by good; 
    overcome the miserly by generosity, and the liar by truth. 
    Speak the truth; do not yield to anger; 
    give even if asked for a little. 
    These three steps lead you to the gods…
    ~Buddha

  7. When shall we escape?

    28

    All beings are from the very beginning Buddhas. 
    It is like water and ice:
    Apart from water, no ice, 
    Outside living beings, no Buddhas.
    Not knowing it is near, they seek it afar. 
    What a pity!
    It is like one in the water who cries out with thirst;
    It is like the child of a rich house who has strayed among the poor.
    The cause of our circling through the six worlds
    Is that we are on the dark paths of ignorance.
    Dark path upon dark path treading,
    When shall we escape from birth-and-death?

    ~Hakuin, 1689-1769

  8. Lotus Flowers for all my Friends

    100

    The lotus rises through the murky waters of ponds and lakes yet, when it blooms, it floats upon the surface, its petals shining and untainted by the mud from which it emerged.

    Happy New Year!
    With Love and Best Wishes

  9. New Year Resolution

    87

    Do I look like I have a new year resolution?
    2013 is almost here, and I still cannot think of one right now.

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
