Be grateful 🙏

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Be grateful 🙏

Post by Phnom Penh Pal »

Buddhist wisdom

Be grateful to those who have hurt or harmed you, for they have reinforced your determination. Be grateful to those who have made you stumble, for they have strengthened your ability. Be grateful to those who have abandoned you, for they have taught you independance. Be grateful to those who have hit you, for they have reduced your karmic obstacles. Be grateful to those who have deceived you, for they have deepened your insight. Be grateful to those who have denounced you, for they have increased your wisdom and concentration. Be grateful to those who made you firm and resolute and help your achievement.

While he sat under the Bodhi tree, he had to overcome a demon named Mara, who attempted to “steal” Buddha’s enlightenment. When Mara challenged him, Siddhartha touched his hand to the Earth, asking it to bear witness to his wisdom.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
