1. Kitty does not want to be on camera

    Comment

    Cat families usually play best in even numbers. Cats and kittens should be acquired in pairs whenever possible. A fifteen year old cat has probably spent ten years of its life sleeping. A frightened cat can run at speeds of up to 31 mph, slightly faster than a human sprinter. Source: AnimalLeague

  2. The sunshine of life

    Comment

    Friendship is precious, not only in the shade,
    but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent
    arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine.

    ~Thomas Jefferson 

  3. Take the time to just listen

    Comment

    Sometimes people are holding things in, but really are just waiting
    for someone to take the time to just listen and not judge. ~Unknown

    Ultimate truth of Love
    Love is what…
    Can be felt not told
    It can be given not sold
    It comes when you least expect it.

  5. Make your own wherever you are

    Comment

    Before you say I can’t, make sure you’ve tried.
    Before you let doubts stop you, confront them with facts.
    Before fear holds you back, go foward with faith.
    Before you go looking for happiness, make your own wherever you are.

  6. Friendship to be real

    Comment

    Friendship that insists upon agreement on all matters is not worth the name.
    Friendship to be real must ever sustain the weight of honest differences,
    however sharp they be. ~Gandhi

    Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. ~Kahlil Gibran

  7. Dog is having a good time with kitty

    Comment

    Although cats don’t store a lot of information in long-term memory, the people and places cats choose to bank in long-term storage can stay put for many years. Since the cerebral cortex is responsible for storing long-term memory, it could be argued that a cat’s more complex cerebral cortex may lead to better long-term memory. Kittens learn by watching their mothers hunt, eat, groom, and so on, and then repeating the behavior themselves until they get it right. Source: Catster

     

  8. Before starting the day

    Comment

    Some people may find it hard to start a day,
    But if you pray,
    the day seems extraordinary and is more than okay.
    Don’t forget to pray
    before starting the day.

    Every man is not like the one who did you wrong.
    There are many who are waiting for someone just like you.

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.
