We Need to Learn

February 13, 2016

Looking, listening and loving…
are skills we all need to learn;
if we wish to live to the fullest,
and help others by showing concern.

Looking for ways to encourage:
listening, for ‘unspoken’ needs.
Loving all people, through critical times,
strengthening them with prayer and kind deeds.

Opening our eyes to the promise…
of what’s possible when we believe.
Eager to serve with a purpose,
we are blessed as we trust and achieve.

Our looking, listening and loving…
calm the fears of a most troubled mind.
Christ loves us, as sister and brother:
be like Him, strive to heal humankind!

Poem title: Looking, Listening and Loving
by Roslyn (Ros) Mansell

    Look expectantly, listen deeply, pray intensely, love passionately, bless widely.

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.
