It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder

When you do things from your soul, 
you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Raise your words, not voice. 
It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

    Rain comes from Thunder and Water pools from Rain…. Always look to the way things happen and you will see what makes them work…. And all by the designing Hand of God in Heaven.

    How can you raise your words and not your voice?, it is a contradiction in terms. Raise your words "with" your voice and you will learn to sing….

    The sound of water is most tender when listening for Spirit I believed when I was little that rain was Spirits tears and the thunder was his pain the lightning was a sign He was here to pull us through the storm Beautiful Peaceful post Thank you

    This is a great read. Explaining and Colaborating, not Screaming and Shouting in time of Confusion, when disagreeing with one another.

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.
