Peace is something you make

Peace is not something you wish for,
it is something you make,
something you are, something you do,
and something you give away.

    YES, if everyone believed these sentences & used them in his or her life ,we'd not feel any troublesome because we had learned to replace ourselves in a good position in any (condition whether the best ones or the worst)

  9. mahsa mehrangiz

    April 26, 2013

    yes of course .
    peace don't come easy but we should believe that living in a good way is an art that u create  it by your hands (in my idea) so only enough to learn its ways by yourself – no one can help u.(peace is one of its ways.

    imagine. john Lennon did, nothing to live or die for? it is amazing to see 1 person peacefully protest, non violently and succeed in getting the point across, inspiring others who didn't want to get involved suddenly decide to join in which makes everybody rethink…ripple effect

    war is what needs making, peace only needs to be maintained and lived.

  12. cata lyst

    April 26, 2013

    you maintain peace by not waging war, you live peace when others live it too.

    peace is something you are, or not. something you do or don't, something you give away, or, take away.

    The wind howled the rain clattered against the window frame,cold pearldrops of raiin trickeling down the window pane. It was a cold morning that January when you lay asleep in your bed. Tranquility spoke and you answered with a sigh of contemplation, looking out you saw the rain and turned away thinking and peace was there. labi taiwo

    i just love the rains! they sooth and purge one's soul with immense calmness and purity!

  51. Chet Wily

    April 26, 2013

    True Peace and Joy are from The Lord Jesus Christ – God's Son after you have surrendered your life to Him – accepted His sacrifice on The Cross for your sins – accepted Him as your Lord and Saviour. Once Born-Again… or saved… you receive The Holy Spirit who comes to live in you forever… guiding you into all truth and granting you Real and Lasting Peace and Joy… that the world cannot… peace and joy of the world are dependant on emotions – which fluctuate – change according to different situations. Not so with the Love-Joy-and Peace from The Lord. A Born-Again Christian (a child of God) lives their lives through these gifts continually… True Freedom onward into Eternity.

  54. Shawn Alston

    April 26, 2013

    +Chet Wily – So you're suggesting born again Christians are above human emotions and that they never experience them which causes a break in harmony? Also, are you saying that only born again Christians are children of God?

    It is the little things from God we allways take for granted..

  59. Chet Wily

    April 26, 2013

    We're all sinners – since Adam and Eve. Born-Again Christian do not have to live with worldly-emotions. Why would they want to when they can abide in The Lord who freely gives them Love – Joy – and Peace… as well as other excellent fruits of The Spirit. Jesus said, " You must be Born-Again to enter The Kingdom of God." – and only God's children will enter. Do Not be Deceived. There is ONLY ONE WAY to Heaven – through God's Son – Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes(surrenders their life to Jesus) in Him will not perish but will have everlasting life.
    You CANNOT Save yourself for Heaven. If you could get to Heaven by your 'good deeds' – then Jesus died on The Cross for nothing and The Father made a huge mistake. Fortunately – The Lord does Not make mistakes. Dust off your Bible and clarify these truths…ie) John in The New Testament. O… just to let you know…. sadly… if you are not a child of God – someone who has accepted Jesus Christ to be their Lord and Saviour… you remain a Lost Sinner. Reject Jesus and there is no longer any Way to Heaven for you…and after death…..Eternal Hell…. The Choice is Yours….Jesus=Heaven…"your way" = Hell… a Biblical FACT !

  61. Rannoud Abdel Al

    Not really, sometimes external and internal factors might take away that kind of peace!

  62. JEAN HOLLANDER

    April 26, 2013

    YOU MUST NEVER ALLOW ANYONE OR ANYTHING TAKE YOUR PEACE AND JOY.  KEEP IT ALWAYS AND SHARE IT WITH OTHERS.

  63. Roger Kerr

    April 26, 2013

    No one can take your peace. It resides inside you.

  64. Shawn Alston

    April 26, 2013

    +Chet Wily – Wow. Actually, I found peace on my own and moral compass completely without religion. But keep preaching and contradicting yourself.

  65. Shawn Alston

    April 26, 2013

    +Chet Wily – and "my way" doesn't equal hell, idiot. I make my living by helping people and saving lives, and if that equals hell, then hell must be not all that bad.

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...
