1. In our life

    Comment

    Feelings are important in our life as they come from Heart.
    If we respond, they grow;
    If we ignore, they die;
    If we respect, they stay forever ~Santabanta sms

    Comment

    Cats directly walk on their toes. Of all animals, they have a unique skull that brings about large eye sockets and strong specialized jaw. In general, cats remain active during day and night. However, domestic cats are known to be rather more vigorous during evening and morning. While these cats spend a large amount of their time in homes, they can range several hundreds of meters from their focal point. Source: AnimalsTimes

  5. Pure friendship

    Comment

    Pure friendship is:
    Bright like sun;
    High like sky;
    Strong like diamond;
    Kind like mother;
    Cute like me;
    And Sweet like you.

  6. Dog and Bone

    Comment

    Human faces are known to be asymmetrical, with people instinctively moving their gaze to the right side of a face when they meet someone and try to discern their emotional state. Dogs have developed the same instinct when encountering a human, despite the fact that they do not do this when meeting other dogs. No other non-primate is known to do this. Source: OneKind

  7. A sign of good taste

    Comment

    A smile is a sign of joy;
    A hug is a sign of love;
    A laugh is a sign of happiness;
    And a friend like me, well – that’s a sign 
    of good taste. ~Santabanta sms

  8. You are a child of the universe

    Comment

    Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
    you have a right to be here. ~Max Ehrmanm, Desiderata

  9. A confusing role

    Comment

    Memories play a confusing role. They make us laugh when we remember
    the times that we cried together. But make us cry when we remember the times
    that we laughed together. ~Santabanta sms

  10. When people hurt you

    Comment

    When people hurt you over and over again, think of them as a sandpaper.
    They may scratch and hurt you but it’s you – who’ll turn up shining and polished,
    while they’ll end up useless. ~Santabanta sms

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.
