I Follow My Dreams

I get laughed at, 
I get ignored,
I often feel trapped, 
and keep my thoughts stored,
people can be cruel and very mean, 
but no matter what, 
I follow my dreams

life has waves, 
I know that, 
but i stand brave, 
and take the crap,
I may feel exhausted and totally creamed,
but no matter what, 
I follow my dreams

I know what I want, 
and I wont stop trying
Quitting? I can't,
for now I'm flying,
it's impossible it seems, 
but no matter what, 
I follow my dreams!

    The dream, Jorge Luis Borges poem ( looking for a correct translation because the translator of Google puts antonym):

    Si el sueño fuera (como dicen) una 
    tregua, un puro reposo de la mente, 
    ¿por qué, si te despiertan bruscamente, 
    sientes que te han robado una fortuna? 

    ¿Por qué es tan triste madrugar? La hora 
    nos despoja de un don inconcebible, 
    tan íntimo que sólo es traducible 
    en un sopor que la vigilia dora 

    de sueños, que bien pueden ser reflejos 
    truncos de los tesoros de la sombra, 
    de un orbe intemporal que no se nombra 

    y que el día deforma en sus espejos. 
    ¿Quién serás esta noche en el oscuro 
    sueño, del otro lado de su muro?

    Sunsets come and sunsets go
    Just look at this marvellous glow
    It shine looks so pretty
    It even penetrates the shade of the jetty
    It's structure has decay
    It teaches us it's meant like that, it's God's way.
    Just me in a sentimental mood.

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.

A Handful of Leaves

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...
