    Never try to hide your secrets
    from a person who can read your eyes
    because the one who reads your eyes
    is always an expert in reading your Heart.

  2. You just love…

    Comment

    People fall in love not knowing why or how.
    It’s so special a feeling that
    does not require much answers.
    You just love…

  3. Friend…

    Comment

    When emotions play their role
    Heart cries…
    When heart cries it does
    not make any sound
    and the person who listens
    to the mute sound is called “FRIEND”

  4. Life is uncertain – Death is certain

    by Venerable K. Sri Dhammananda

    Juleeya's grandma

    Juleeya B. Kong, 15, Sophomore at Lowell High School passed a way on January 1, 2015. Her grandma [right] looks very sad during her funeral service at the Glory Buddhist Temple on January 10, 2015.

    “Life is uncertain – Death is certain” This is a well known saying in Buddhism. Knowing very well that death is certain and it is a natural phenomenon that everyone has to face, we should not be afraid of death. Yet, instinctively, all of us fear death because we do not know how to think of its inevitability. We like to cling to our life and body and so develop too much craving and attachment.

    A child comes into this world bringing joy and happiness unto all near and dear ones. Even the mother who had to bear extreme labour pains is pleased and delighted to behold her newborn child. She feels that all the trouble and pain borne by her ere well worth it. However, by crying, the child seems to suggest it too has its share of suffering for coming into this world. The child grows into and adolescent and later into an adult, performing all sorts of good and bad deeds. He eventually grows old and finally bids farewell to this sorrow. Such is the nature of existence of a human being. People try to evade and escape from the clutches of death but no one is able to do so. At the moment of death, they have their minds hovering over their hoard of acquired wealth, unduly worrying about their dear children surrounding them. Last but not least, they keep evincing much concern over their own precious bodies, which despite the tender care and attention, lavished by them are now worn out, decaying and exhausted. It grieves one’s heart to separate oneself from the body. It is the way most people take leave in this world – with moans and groans. The pangs of death are considered dreadful, an attitude fed by ignorance.

  6. Dream and smile…

    Comment

    Weekend is a wonderful opportunity
    to take a rest,
    to forgive,
    to dream,
    to smile
    and to spend time
    with Mother Nature.

  7. Just see

    40

    Things to take note every morning:
    First: miss me
    Second: think of me
    Third: Smile for me!

    Do not count what you have lost,
    Just see what you have now.
    The past never comes back
    but sometimes the future can give
    you back what you have lost…
