Because that is like that

The Buddha taught that this is like this, because that is like that.  You see?  Becasue you smile, I am happy. This is like this, therefore that is like that.  And that is like that because this is like that. This is called dependent co-arising. Suppose you and I are friends. (In fact, I hope we are friends.)  My well-being, my happiness depends very much on you, and your wellbeing, your happiness, depends upon me. I am responsible for you, and you are responsible for me. Anything I do wrong, you will suffer, and anything you do wrong, I have to suffer. Therefore, in order to take care of you, I have to take care of myself. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

    Although I am passionate of Buddhism at the same time, I am ignorant of it and the more you teach, the more I like this philosophy. I never tire of thanking you¡

    +Carles Guerrero You will soon enter a peaceful zone, Carles, if you continue to read and pay very close attention to this. Some is a little difficult to understand.

    +Umeshika Thathsarani Do not worry too much. Everyone is responsible for his/her action. They play with fire, they will get burn, not us. Just ignore the negativity. No need for us to waste our time on that.

    +Jendhamuni Sos collective efforts for caring would definitely lead quite faster to the state Buddha has reached.

    Wonderful post +Jendhamuni Sos
    All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of every thing.

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...
