1. Happy or miserable

    Comment

    We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount
    of work is the same. ~Carlos Castaneda

  2. Pure and guiltless man

    Comment

    Like fine dust thrown against the wind, evil falls back upon that fool who
    offends an inoffensive, pure and guiltless man. ~Buddha, The Dhammapada

  3. Send faith to answer

    Comment

    When fear knocks on your door, send faith to answer.
    Just because something isn’t happening for you right now,
    doesn’t mean that it will never happen. ~Santabanta sms

  4. Nobody understands

    Comment

    A good relationship is like Taj Mahal. Everybody simply wonders
    how Beautiful it is; But nobody understands how difficult it was to build.

    ~Santabanta sms

  5. Kitten is too sleepy to get up

    Comment

    One of the most accurate barometers of a cat’s mood is its tail. When held high, it communicates confidence. Curled around another cat’s tail or human legs, it signals friendliness. And tucked below or between the legs, it signals insecurity or anxiousness. The upright bottle-brush tail is an unequivocal sign that your cat is feeling threatened. And when combined with the arched back, upright hair along the spine, and unsheathed claws, the stance is a dead giveaway that you should back off, Sueda says. Source: WebMD

  6. Dog’s new friend

    Comment

    When a cat greets another cat or a person with slow, languid blinks, it’s communicating affection. Why? Because in the feline world, closing one’s eyes in the presence of another is the ultimate sign of trust. By blinking slowly at your cat, you are communicating that you are aware of its presence and pose no threat. So the next time your cat blinks at you, try returning the gesture. Source: WebMD

  7. Always have faith in trying

    Comment

    Cry and Try have only one letter difference in spellings
    but a lot in meaning. ‘Cry’ collapses our confidence;
    And ‘Try’ builds our confidence. Always have faith in trying!

    ~Santabanta sms

  8. You must grow in patience

    Comment

    Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.
    For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you.
    So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs,
    and they will then be powerless to vex your mind. ~Leonardo da Vinci

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...
