1. Under certain circumstances

    Comment

    Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor,
    but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances,
    can be life-threatening. ~Maya Angelou

  2. Water under the bridge

    Comment

    People who have lost relationships often wonder why they can’t just let it be water under the bridge. It is water under the bridge – the trouble is we do not live on the bridge but in the river of life with its many twists and turns. ~Grant Fairley

  3. Kitty is very thirsty

    Comment

    Hydration is an extremely important part of your cat’s overall health. Exactly how much water should your cat drink every day? How can you make sure your feline is getting enough? The amount of water consumption depends on a variety of factors, including the size of your cat, the time of year and whether your cat’s diet includes wet food or dry cat food only. If cats are given dry food only, they will require significantly more supplemental water to stay acceptably hydrated. Normally, a cat will require 2-4 ounces of fresh water in addition to its food. Dry food is only 10 percent water, while canned is approximately 80 percent water. So obviously your cat is going to drink a lot more water if you are providing dry food only.

    How Can I Tell If My Cat Is Getting Enough Water?

    There are a few simple signs that will give you a pretty good indication of your cat is staying hydrated:

    • Skin elasticity. Gently pull the skin at the base of your cat’s neck (scruff). The skin should spring back when you release it. If it does not, your cat might not be getting enough water.
    • A shiny coat without dry flakes is a sign of hydration
    • Your cat should exhibit normal physical activity and not be overly lethargic
    • Is your cat urinating 2-3 times per day? You can tell if this is happening by checking your cat’s litter box for medium-sized clumps.

  5. Generate more light than heat

    Comment

    I looked at the rising Sun and asked, “What have you to teach me today?” I heard a voice which said, “Always generate more light than heat” All mornings are like Paintings. You need a little inspiration to get going, a little smile to brighten up and SMS from someone like me to color your day. ~Santabanta sms

  6. Kitty is very tired

    Comment

    If your cat’s eyes are closed, it’s not necessarily because it’s tired. A sign of closed eyes means your cat is happy or pleased. A cat’s field of vision does not cover the area right under its nose. Want to call a hairball by its scientific name? Next time, say the word “bezoar.” Source: AnimalPlanet

     

  7. The loneliest thing in the World

    Comment

    Being surrounded by wrong people is the loneliest thing in the World. Being alone is a state of being that no one wants to be in. It is easy to get caught up feeling sad and detached from the rest of the world, but one must realize that they have to use times of loneliness to build their relationships with God, and also to build upon the foundation that is considered their life.

    Don’t take being alone as a bad thing, for times of loneliness are actually good times, times in which a person can focus on strengthening their own mind to push their selves towards their own dreams and desires. Alone isn’t always lonely, sometimes it may be, but most times alone is just a season in our lives, a season in which we must focus on building, or rebuilding, a season in which we have to work on the fight inside of ourselves so that we may soon take it to the rest of the world. ~By J. Johnson

  8. Many dogs love car rides

    Comment

    Many dogs love car rides. Be sure to keep your dog secured with a seat belt or other safety device. Dogs are creatures of habit. They like familiarity and form expectations and schedules. Dogs can know you as much by scent as by eyesight (if not more!), and you can help them feel secure when you leave by providing a soft object that has your scent on it. (A sweatshirt or blanket you sleep with). Source: The Dog Guide

  9. Do our best to let it go

    Comment

    As we go through life, and we learn more from our experiences, it is impossible to avoid the lessons that pain will bring. The key to overcoming the pain in your life is to realize that though pain is something that is inevitably a part of life, we have the choice of whether we are going to wallow in it and suffer, or move on from it, and do our best to let it go.

    Our lives are much too short to just focus on the hurtful times, and instead we should make great attempts to stay on the path towards greatness and reaching our dreams despite how much pain we may be in. Eventually the pain of your present will diminish, and if you waste time by not continuing to move forward you will be set back much further than you would have if you would of just worked through it. So hold on, be strong; keep pushing through the rough patches in life, because eventually pain ends. ~By J. Johnson

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.

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.
