1. Put them on and wear them

    Comment

    God gave you shoes to fit you. So just put them on and wear them. Be yourself. Be proud of who you are, don’t ever let anyone tell you ain’t beautiful.  ~Unknown

  2. Finding the words to say

    Comment

    The world is so broken and sometimes it leaves you cold. And at times you can’t feel the fire to guide you home. The demons will haunt you and try to steal what you know. But the angels, they brought you, and they’re gonna hold you up. They’re gonna hold you up. They see the fear in your eyes, heart sinks like a stone. ‘Cause when you’re afraid, it weighs on your soul. It’s not easy, no. Finding the words to say. When you’re feeling lost, you’ll find your way.  ~Shane Haper

  3. No one in the world

    Comment

    There is absolutely no one in the world that can tell you that you can’t do something. You’re the only person that can set that limitation. ~Unknown

  4. Embrace the practice of peace

    Comment

    Hatred cannot be stopped by hatred. Violence should not be responded to with violence. The only way out of violence and conflict is for us to embrace the practice of peace, to think and act with compassion, love, and understanding. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  5. Using your heart as your compass

    Comment

    By using your heart as your compass, you can see more clearly which direction to go to stop self-defeating behavior. If you take just one mental or emotional habit that really bothers or drains you and apply heart intelligence to it, you’ll see a noticeable difference in your life. ~Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution

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.
