The purpose of a rose is to be a rose

October 13, 2014

Does the rose have to do something? No, the purpose of a rose is to be a rose. Your purpose is to be yourself. You don't have to run anywhere to become someone else. I am happy in the present moment. I do not ask for anything else. I do not expect any additional happiness. Aimlessness is stopping and realizing the happiness that is already available. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

    Neglecting what they have; greed towards what they not have! This is the world means human mind.

    To feel ones own selfish happiness is not a blessing. Never hurt others while you are trying to make yourself happy.

    आप क्या करते हें किससे मिलते हें सन्देश लिखते हें तो ओपचारिकता मात्र होता है
    यदि दोस्ती में विस्वास रखते तो कुछ अपनी कहते कुछ हमारी पूछते इसी का नाम
    दोस्ती होता है I Good afternoon या गुड…………….????????????
    पर क्या करे दोस्त मिला इतना प्यारा की करना पड़ा दोस्ती निभाने का वादा>>>>>>

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.

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...
