Bitterness and Love

Bitterness imprisons life;
love releases it.
Bitterness paralyzes life;
love empowers it.
Bitterness sours life;
love sweetens it.
Bitterness sickens life;
love heals it.
Bitterness blinds life;
love anoints its eyes.

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.
