In the midst of calamities

We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy. If we are to die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing? ― Swami Satchidananda

    In a crowded world, smiling is the best and easiest way to acknowledge the presence of others.  (It's up to your own judgement whether you employ a small smile or one with lots of teeth.  Smiles can say so much.) 🙂

    Thinking logically before engaging is the best way to proceed!
    And if I want people to respect me, I must first sacrifice my own pride, put away my ego, and turned my being inside out to reveal my heart in it's true colours for the whole world to see, and do it all with a smile upon my face.
    Only then, I will be able to bring others to my level, and together, we can change the world!!! You're an angel Jen!

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...
