  3. Avoid speaking negative things

    Comment

    Avoid speaking negative things. If we concentrate on the bad side, we lose sight of the good. When we concentrate on the good. We take on goodness. ~Paramhansa Yogananda

  4. Whatever you do

    Comment

    Whatever you do
    be gentle with yourself.
    You don’t just live
    in this world
    or your home
    or your skin.
    You also live
    in someone’s eyes.

    ~Sanober Khan

  6. Throughout immeasurable eons

    Comment

    Time has no beginning;
    it has no end.
    Throughout immeasurable eons,
    violence and conflict have abounded,
    and body and spirit deeply wounded.
    May the time for healing begin now.
    May universal peace be ours.

  7. In the eyes of others

    Comment

    Do not seek
    the measure of your true worth
    in the eyes of others.

    Search instead
    within your own heart.

  8. Morning Verse

    Comment

    With the wish to help all beings,
    May all my thoughts, words and actions
    be void of attachment and ego.
    May they arise
    from compassion and wisdom.
    May they be imbued
    with patience and joy.

    ~ Venerable Wuling

  9. Cultivation…

    Comment

    Cultivation is not simply sitting
    on a meditation cushion.
    Cultivation is
    correcting our faults,
    acting from wisdom and compassion,
    having a peaceful and tranquil nature.

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

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
