Beautiful Butterfly

February 3, 2016

There wings are stretched wide,
fluttering around the flower,
A Butterfly gently lands on a leaf,
They possess a certain power.
Orange, gold, and some are yellow,
Some fly slow and some rather fast,
Always they put on a show of color
that makes this warm feeling last!
They take flight and move with such grace,
It’s fascinating to see how they land,
I enjoy watching one blend in,
As it sometimes greets my hand.
Some of them will fly in pairs,
while others remain alone,
There are some that appear quite small,
And yet there are some that seem full grown!
I have been told that they don’t live long,
Most only live several days,
It is such a wonder of nature,
As I watch as a new one stays.
They love to grace our gardens,
We love to watch them go by,
I am so lucky to have them around me,
As they are flying low and high!
There goes another one,
It stopped to delight me again,
Always lifting my spirits,
As only a butterfly can!

    The air is like a butterfly
    With frail blue wings.
    The happy earth looks at the sky
    And sings.
    (Joyce Kilmer)

    A flower has the power to attract all creatures great and smalll. For humans it plays the game of romance. For the butterfly and the bee it needs them to be or not to be. +Jendhamuni Sos

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.

Problems we face today

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
