Like electricity… constructive and destructive

August 15, 2013

Like electricity, Mind is both a constructive and destructive powerful force. It is like a double – edged weapon that can equally be used either for good or evil. One single thought that arises in this invisible mind can even save or destroy the world. One such thought can either populate or depopulate a whole country. It is mind that creates one’s heaven. It is mind that creates one’s hell.

~ Ven Dr K Sri Dhammananda

    I sounds quite drastic, that the mind can wield such power, but on some level, I know this must be true.  So the question remains: do we use it for good, or for evil?

    In all our religious texts and
    scriptures, the glory of that one
    Prabhu / Master / Rab / Khuda /
    Allah / Ram / Sahib / God has been
    sung by clearly writing His name.
    That one Master / Prabhu is Lord
    Kabir who lives in a visible human-
    like form in Satlok.
    Ved, Gita, Quran, Bible and Guru
    Granth Sahib all these are nearly
    same. In Yajurved’s
    Adhyay 5 Shlok no. 32; in Samved’s
    Mantra no. 1400, 822; Atharvaved
    Kaand no. 4 Anuvaak no. 1 Shlok no.
    7; Rigved Mandal 1 Adhyay 1 Sukt 11
    Shlok no. 4, by writing the name
    Kabir, it has been explained that
    Supreme God is Kabir who lives in
    form in Satlok.
    In Shri Guru Granth Sahib on page no.
    24 and page no. 721, and in In Quran
    Sharif,
    Surat Furqani no. 25 Aayat no. 52-59
    the glory of God Kabir is sung by
    writing the name "Kabir".

    There is so much truth in this saying. The question is, which side do you choose?

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.

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...
