I Always have room for turtles in my Heart

I never forget the day my little turtle came to see me at the lake, after my prayer. It was a miracle. After one hour of visit, Little Turtle would not swim a way from me…

Sometimes we worry too much about eating. We enjoy eating way too much, as though we are born only to eat, without thinking about the welfare of animals – big or little…We hardly take time to contemplate on animals' lives. As though we do not care one bit about their safety. I think we are too selfish. We think too much about ourselves, we think too much about delicious food… We complain non-stop when someone said bad things to us, speak unpleasant words to us, but we never complain about how we, ourselves, treating others. That is not LOVE

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.
