The forest is peaceful

The forest is peaceful, why aren’t you? You hold on to things causing your confusion. Let nature teach you. Hear the bird’s song then let go. If you know nature, you’ll know Dhamma. If you know Dhamma, you’ll know nature. ~Ajahn Chah

    For 20 years I would live in the forest in the summer time,around Cougar HotSprings in Oregon( a hotspring, waterfall & lake all withina quartermile)! It has always been my little piece of paradise. My camp was located next to the river downstream! Always buetiful it was! Much meditation was conducted next to this waterfall & river! @nd if i listening closely i would receive all my answers to all questions Sometimes a blue herem( 🐦) would meditate with me whileshe waited for a fish to swim by to feed on! Love the way a river thunders by as it flows! Such peace, I can’t put into words!It all seems like a dream,as such that I didn’t want to not meditate on its ancient origins.Elk would come by but only if I was still & quiet!People didn’t understand how or why I lived a solitude life devoted to poverty!?! Oh course I didn’t expect them too much less understand me loving waking up to calls of Turkeys!People would go to the HotSprings with lust in their hearts not withstanding the awesome power of nature. At times I would meditate while the waterfall fell upon me.For some reason people would just stare not understanding why?! Sometimes people would want a picture with me at the waterfall as though I was a side show attraction…lol! Sister, you should maybe giving meditation a try under a waterfall.But what do I know I’m just a visitor here on 🌎

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.

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...
