That special person

January 31, 2014

We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have."

I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.

Let our scars fall in love.

    Rt wrong wrong rt
    Before dwelling into it
    First we sd compare ourself
    Wt are we are we rt
    We dnt carry any sort of dirt
    Then if its okay we can move wd confidence if we experiance it wd a wrong person
    At a time he will feel ashmed of himself nt we
    An in that moment we can make a wrong a rt
    Nice der gd nite sd love

    Ms. Jendhamuni Sos, I feel, we consider the person as special because of good or bad. Good people always go with good.

    त्वमेव माता च पिता त्वमेव,
    त्वमेव बन्धु  च सखा त्वमेव,
    त्वमेव विया द्रविणं त्वमेव,
    त्वमेव सर्वम मम देवदेव

    भावार्थ—मात हमारो तुही गुरु तात तुही 
     मित भ्रात तुही धन धान्य भंडारो 
     ईश तुही जगदीश तुही 
    मम शीश तुही प्रभु राखनहारो 
    सार तुही करतार तुही 
    घरबार तुही परिवार  हमारो 
    राव तुही उमराव तुही सद्भाव तुही मम नैन के तारो  
    सुन हे जगदीश दयानिधि ओ करुणाकर चित्त दया भरियो बहु भोग लई करनी अपनी अब दीन विचार क्षमा करियो  
    तुम्हरे बिसरे सगरी बिगड़ी सब नाथ कुबुधि सबे हरियो
    सुन दीनानाथ निवेदन को सद्ज्ञान  सभी हममें  भरियो
    अशोक

Live & Die for Buddhism

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...
