    Learn from water: Adjust yourself in every situation,
    in any shape, at any time and always find out your own way.

  2. Kitty and the phone

    Comment

    When cats saw the obstacle and were distracted before they had a chance to step over it with their forelegs, they didn’t remember the obstacle, indicating their visual memory is not so great. “We’ve found that the long-lasting memory for guiding hind legs over an obstacle requires stepping of the forelegs over the obstacle,” researcher Keir Pearson of the University of Alberta in Canada said. “The main surprise was how short lasting the visual memory on its own was—just a few seconds when animals were stopped before their forelegs stepped over the obstacle.” Source: MentalFloss

  3. Strong person

    Comment

    The strong person is not the good wrestler. Rather, the strong person
    is the one who controls himself when he is angry. ~Anonymous

  4. Our eyes

    Comment

    Our eyes are placed in the front because it is more important
    to look ahead than to look back. ~SantaBanta

  5. Sometimes peace is better

    Comment

    Be selective with your battles. sometimes peace is better than being right. One can never start the next chapter of one’s life if one is always busy visiting the last one. Do not get upset with people or situations, both are powerless without your reactions. ~SanataBanta

  6. New flowers

    Comment

    Fallen flowers can’t grow back on tree. But, new flowers can certainly grow.
    Life is not about what we couldn’t do so far. It is about what we still can.

  9. A rare luxury

    Comment

    Time is a rare luxury which can never be purchased at any cost.
    So when someone spends it for you, it defines the depth
    of care they have for you. ~SantaBanta

  10. Relation…

    Comment

    Relation is sweeter than honey and greater than money,
    smoother than silk and whiter than milk,
    higher than any tower and stronger than any power.
    So maintain it. ~SantaBanta

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.
