Learn how to criticise yourself

The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticise others. Rather, we must criticise ourselves.
• How much am I doing about my anger?
• About my attachment,
• about my hatred,
• about my pride,
• my jealousy?
These are the things which we must check in daily life.

    I'm my biggest critic.  Which is quite the accomplishment if I may say so myself, because sometimes the competition is fierce.

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.
