1. Kitty scares away deers

    Comment

    The term deer covers a wide spectrum of species. It may surprise you to learn about all of the different ones out there. They all have unique characteristics about them. However, they all have many similarities and that is what most people know about them.

    There is so much more than meets the eye with the deer species in the world. Taking some time to evaluate the different ones in detail can give you a new appreciation of these animals. A huge problem for them is trying to find a balance between humans and nature. Since the deer have no control over that, it is up to each of us to make good choices and to help protect their world as they know it. Source: deerworlds

  2. Waiting for you to miss me

    Comment

    When I text you, that means I miss you. When I don’t text, that just means I’m waiting for you to miss me.
    Love is like a violin, the music may stop every now and then, but remember the strings remain forever.

    If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone.
    There is no companionship with the immature.

  4. Kitty wants to be someone else

    Comment

    Cats have been shown to have their own individual personalities. Their types of body language, including position of ears and tail, relaxation of whole body, and kneading of paws, are all indicators of mood. The tail and ears are particularly important social signal in cats, with a raised tail acting as a friendly greeting. Tail raising also indicates the cat’s position in the group’s social heirarchy,  with dominant individuals raising their tails less often than subordinate animals. Nose-touching is also a common greeting and may be followed by social grooming,  which is solicited by one of the cats raising and tilting its head. Source: OneKind

    People may like a person’s thought for its touching words,
    but they like him truly for his own deeds touching their heart.

  9. Before flying for the first time

    Comment

    An adult butterfly will eventually emerge from the chrysalis where it will wait a few hours for its wings to fill with blood and dry, before flying for the first time. Butterflies can live in the adult stage from anywhere between a week and a year, depending on the species. Butterflies have four wings. Butterflies often have brightly coloured wings with unique patterns made up of tiny scales. Most butterflies feed on nectar from flowers. Butterflies have taste receptors on their feet.

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.
