Examine your actions very closely

It is important to examine your actions very closely. Particularly with minor negative actions, we do not see what the results will be immediately, but it is certain that those actions will mature and that we will have to experience the result. Enlightened beings can see this very clearly. For them even the most minute negative action is like a speck of dust in one’s eye – one has to get rid of it immediately. We ordinary beings, on the other hand, are unable to see the consequences of our actions. We are unaware of our minor deeds and lose track of them like an arrow shot into a thick forest. We act without understanding where our actions will lead. But if we had the vision of an enlightened being, we would see that even the minutest action has a result. ~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

    Hope you are fine. My mother is recovering fast. But these days I was feeling weakness while walking and doing my work with a chest pain and breathing problem . Finally the doctors diagnosed that the oxygen level of my body was falling down to 63 % . They prescribed me a c pap machine for sleeping at night. But I believe that it will effect the efficiency of natural process of organs . I have started Yoga and pranayam for that which is really helping me to come out of problem bur slowly. Today I am feeling much more better. Thank you and have a wonderful time ahead.

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
