1. Those standing beside

    Comment

    Appreciate those standing beside you for better or worst.
    Life is short. You’ll never know what comes next.
    Someone you take for granted today may turn out
    to be the only one you need tomorrow.  ~Unknown

  2. Parrot’s walking style

    Comment

    Though there is great diversity among these birds, there are similarities
    as well. All parrots have curved beaks and all are zygodactyls, meaning
    they have four toes on each foot, two pointing forward and two projecting
    backward. Most parrots eat fruit, flowers, buds, nuts, seeds, and some
    small creatures such as insects. Source: NationalGeographic

  3. Those days

    Comment

    There are those days when everything seems to just fall apart completely,
    but remember it’s going to last just for a while and then it will be over.

    ~Terry Mark

  4. Your journey

    Comment

    Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine.
    It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.
    ~Zero Dean

  5. Where we must choose

    Comment

    There will be a time where we must choose between
    what is easy and what is right. ~J K Rowling

  6. A master of everything

    Comment

    “A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else.” ~ George Savile

    One who utters speech that isn’t rough
    But instructive and truthful
    So that he offends no one,
    Him I call Brahmin.”
    ~The Dhammapada

  7. Something called LOVE

    Comment

    When your egocentricity overtakes your ability to feel empathy;
    you have lost something special, something unique, something called LOVE. 

    ~London Mond 

  8. To see the light

    Comment

    It’s during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
    ~Buddha

  9. Kitten does not want to get out

    Comment

    If you’ve lost a cat that is allowed outdoors part-time or for brief periods of time and he/she has vanished, then it is possible that he/she is not missing but is hiding in fear. That’s because even outdoor-access cats can become displaced. Here’s how it works. A cat can become “displaced” into unfamiliar territory when he/she is chased off (beaten up by another cat, chased by a dog, etc.) and he/she ends up in a yard or area that is total foreign to him/her.

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.

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.
