It is hard to live in the world

September 5, 2012

It is hard to live in the world 
And hard to live out of it. 
It is hard to be one among many. 

And for the wanderer, how long is the road 
Wandering though many lives!

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.
