    That is so true (only) the wealthy don't feel shame and they don't care. Star child you have the harmony and love of all of us . My deepest thoughts are with you.

    Very valuable thoughts my friend +Jendhamuni Sos  Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.

    E' molto difficile che la dignità vada a passeggio con la ricchezza,la prima è un attributo che ci vien dato dall'alto, la seconda, invece, è un idolo creato da noi uomini,per dominare i nostri simili.

    Very true! sister +Jendhamuni Sos but i think in today's world most people don't care about these things they only want money at any cost then it doesn't matter right way of wrong way. dignity and shame is only words for them. Nice post 🙂

    It doesn't change the real fact wealth is better than poverty…unless your planning on living on food stamps for your entire life.

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.
