Feel Someone’s Pain

The deepest corners of our hearts,
are where our strongest emotions find their starts.

The drop of a tear.
The shudder of fear.
With the touch of a smile,
we can shorten someone’s darkest mile.

Reach out, feel someone’s pain.
Flood their soul with kindness again.
Absorb the full sense of their plight.
Guide them, help them find the Light.

The world is full of ignorance and hatred,
and of those things it must be shed.
From the love of life grows respect.
With this in our hearts, serenity we surely can expect.

To truly give of ourselves is our greatest gift.
The heaviest of burdens we can help lift.
Let us give freely of our collective heart.
Help give this world a fresh start.

    +Jendhamuni Sos I believe that if you are having problems then 99.8% can be resolved, it's just that 00.1% that is personal that can't be resolved and the other 00.1% that you don't want to face as it is painful and are afraid of raking up the past. I think that is where the phrase relating to "skeletons in the closest" comes from.

    Mr. +Meng Ung How are you doing? I just saw your message here. I'm glad you like my posts here. I actually don't have any relative with the name you mentioned above in California. I used to have relatives in California, but they all moved to another states already. Wishing you and your family a beautiful weekend.

Live & Die for Buddhism

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

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...
