1. We must be strong

    Comment

    What is Right will always be Right. What is Wrong will always
    be Wrong. Yet in order for Truth to prevail, we must be strong. 

    ~Marrett Green

  2. True friend loves us unconditionally

    Comment

    A friend is the best gift we give to ourselves. Friends are those people in our life with whom we do not have any blood relation. It is a relation of love and affection towards each other. A true friend loves us unconditionally, understands us, but never judge us and always tries to support us, help us and give us good advice.   ~Anurag Prakash Ray

  3. Dhamma practice

    Comment

    All of Dhamma practice comes to completion when nothing remains.
    It is the place of surrender, of emptiness, of laying down the burden.
    This is the end. ~Ajahn Chah

  4. Buddha within our own mind

    Comment

    If we establish the Buddha within our own mind then we see everything
    as identical to ourselves. We see the animals, trees, mountains and vines
    as no different from ourselves. One who understands this is content wherever
    they are. They listen to the Buddha’s teaching at all times. ~Ajahn Chah

    Comment

    More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined
    mind does greater harm. ~ Buddha, The Dhammapada

  6. Be contented with the connection

    Comment

    Loving someone doesn’t mean you have to be together.
    Sometimes, you just have to be friends and be contented
    with the connection that you both have. ~Unknown

  7. Follow your heart away

    Comment

    There will be a time when you are forced to follow your heart
    away from someone you love. ~Ashly Lorenzana

  8. Kitty on duty

    Comment

    Domestic cats love to play, this is especially true with kittens who love
    to chase toys and play fight. Play fighting among kittens may be a way
    for them to practice and learn skills for hunting and fighting.

  9. They have to go

    Comment

    If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you
    for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made,
    if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have
    to go. ~Steve Maraboli

  10. Engraved upon your heart

    Comment

    If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never
    hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved
    upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want
    to forget, you cannot hate. ~C. Joybell C.

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.

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...
