1. Whatever your difficulties…

    Comment

    Whatever your difficulties – a devastated heart, financial loss, feeling assaulted by the conflicts around you, or a seemingly hopeless illness – you can always remember that you are free in every moment to set the compass of your heart to your highest intentions. In fact, the two things that you are always free to do – despite your circumstances – are to be present and to be willing to love. ~Jack Kornfield

     

  2. Each morning…

    Comment

    Each morning…
    You have changed the whole
    color scheme of my life,
    from black and white
    to the bright colors in this world.
    Thanks to you,
    I have a reason to smile
    each morning I wake up.

  3. Poisonous

    Why cling to the arrows shot at you?
    Insults
    Wounds
    Time heals you see.
    Why hold so tightly
    Do these things define you?
    Do these things set you free?
    Why inject yourself with these poisons of the mind
    Anxiety
    Greed
    Anger
    Despair
    Why not let them go
    Set them free.
    Accept the choices you have
    And your responsibilities.
    Accept all that is, rather than “as it should be”
    For what does define “you”
    What will set you free
    What if you never find great meaning
    What if, in not clinging,
    You find stillness
    Calm
    Honesty
    Health
    Peace

    A smile doesn’t exactly show how happy you are,
    but indeed a smile on your face shows how strong enough
    you are in fighting back your problems in life.

  6. What no one does

    Comment

    If you want to be average, do what others do. If you want to be awesome, do what no one does. ~Alexander Den Heijer

  7. Give yourself a chance to breathe

    Comment

    Not every relationship is meant to last forever. And sometimes the best thing you can do is take a step back and give yourself a chance to breathe. ~Pretty Little Liars

     

     

     

  8. With love in my heart

    Comment

    I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge. ~Og Mandino

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...
