1. Indeed — you are what you eat

    Comment

    The wise said no one on this earth loves you more than you, yourself. No doubt. Learn to love yourself, drag yourself up, eat more fruits and veggies. Keep your mind and body healthy. Look into a mirror, crack a smile. Stop being too bitter. Cross out ‘revenge’ from the list. ~Jendhamuni

  2. Spend more time with mother nature

    Comment

    Spend more time with mother nature, rather than sitting in front of the screen. Nature adds smiles and beauty to your face. Socializing on screen – maybe stress and a pair of glasses… ~Jendhamuni

  3. Don’t worry about the past or the future

    Comment

    Don’t worry about the past or the future. The past has already ceased. Whatever occurred in the past has already taken place and is over and done with; it’s finished. Whatever is going to arise in the future is also going to end in the future – let go of that too. Why get worried about it? Observe the phenomena (dhamma) arising in the present moment and notice how they are changing and unreliable. ~Ajahn Chah

     

  4. Growing up with no money

    Comment

    The best part about growing up with no money is that you know how to have fun without it. Riches without faith are the greatest poverty. ~Unknown

  5. Puppies playing with mother

    Comment

    A bond from birth: As each little puppy makes its entrance, its mother carefully tends to its first needs — licking and cleaning her newborn to stimulate breathing and to encourage nursing. As her newborn puppies knead and suckle, she curls her body around them for protection and warmth – hearts beating in unison. Every lick, which is a doggie kiss, reinforces the mother-puppy bond.

    Care and protect: A mother dog whines to alert her humans if she’s separated from her puppies. She paces nervously back and forth between a tiny still-unseeing puppy that scoots to the other side of the room and the rest of her litter. When necessary, a mother dog will put herself between her puppies and danger. She won’t let strange dogs approach, and if she senses that a human might harm her little ones, she issues a warning growl. Source: The Nest

     

  6. Sticky situation

    Comment

    Clever is getting out of a sticky situation, wise is not getting into a sticky situation, you may not always be clever enough. ~Unknown

     

  7. When we stop chasing money

    Comment

    We can only be successful when we stop chasing money, not everyone with money is successful. ~Tshepo Motini

     

  8. Our priceless pure heart

    Comment

    Our priceless pure heart is not something that can be purchased at a pharmacy, poured into our body, or obtained through a cure. If we went to a major city looking to buy it, we could not purchase this pure heart no matter what price we were willing to pay. How do we find it? With the sincere wish to discover it, we discipline our mind with our mind. When such a motivation is born within us, we and others are benefitted and so our lives become meaningful. With a pure motivation that does not wane and with great courage that does not despair, may each one of us endeavor to make our lives meaningful. ~17th Karmapa

     

     

  9. Responsibility…

    Comment

    Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each one of us individually. Peace, for example, starts with each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities, and so on. When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. ~Dalai Lama

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.

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...
