Letting go

February 16, 2014

Giving up doesn't make you a quiter, a loser or a failure. It makes you wise enough to stop holding on to what refuses to be held. Hence I say, letting go hurts, but holding on to what is no longer there hurts even more. ~Nomthandazo Tsembeni

    Thank u for sharing that truthful post. Many of us think about holding on to someone but in the end it is pointless.

    다른이를 용서하는 맘을 얻지만

    어렸을때 눈물로 참회하니
    하늘나라의 말로 이야기 하게 되었죠.
    절망에서 나를 구해준 주님..
    그때의 벅찬 감정ㅇ은 잊을수가 없어요.
    지금도 나를 부르시고 감싸안음을 알고 있었지만
    뒤에서 항상 저를 위해 기도해 주시던 할머니와
    어디선가 나를 지켜주는 기도가 있었음에도..
    너무나도 큰 시련들은..나를 다른 만족으로 쫒고 채우고
    장식했던 것 같은..하지만 그건 별것 아니었다는 사실.
    이 곳은 교회가 별로 없었고 같은 핏줄끼리 싸우고 헐뜾는 게
    가슴이 아팠어요.
    지금은 가끔 교회가 가지만
    설교나 성경 말씀은 눈물만 나게 하는지라..
    두려워 하고 있답니다.
    크게 쓰심을 위해 그랬다면 겸허히 받아 들이고 싶습니다.

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

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.
