1. Two wonderful people

    Comment

    A relationship does not need promises, vows and conditions.
    Only Love and two wonderful people, who can trust
    and understand each other. ~Unknown

  2. When you need it the most

    Comment

    Love doesn’t start in the morning and end in the evening.
    It starts when you don’t need it and sometimes ends
    when you need it the most. ~Unknown

  3. Dog and kitty with baby chicks

    Comment

    Chickens are able to remember and recognise over 100 individuals; they can also recognise humans.
    Like other birds and mammals, chickens experience REM sleep, which is associated with dreaming. Chickens have very sophisticated social behaviour with a dominance hierarchy where higher individuals dominate subordinate individuals. This is where the term pecking order comes from!

  4. All you need to know

    Comment

    There will always be that first true love. The one that never really worked out but you kept your hopes up too much. The one who got away. The one who taught you all you need to know about love. And the one that until now, is still the one you look back to whenever you try to love again. ~Unknown 

  5. The expression of the energy you carry

    Comment

    An attitude can communicate as much as any words. It is the expression of the energy you carry in the moment. Good or bad, happy or sad, angry or kind, loving or hateful. Bad attitudes often come from unsettled things, stewing in your heart, stirred up feelings and emotions. Good attitudes are most often sustained when we are in a place of peace, love and security, faith and hope. If we start our day getting our heart in the right place, then it only makes sense that a right attitude will follow. When you are in right relationship and at peace with God, it is easier to communicate that attitude and spirit with others. ~Ritu Ghatourey

  6. Mothers nourish, so their young can flourish

    Comment

    Children are the most precious of all, they need to be understood, cared for and loved in order to develop their hope in pursuing their dreams in life. ~Unknown

    Motherhood doesn’t end when your kids feel they are grown. You’ll always love and worry about them no matter how old they are or how often they push you away. ~Nishan Panwar

  7. Passion ignites love

    Comment

    Passion ignites love and keeps it alive. Lasting passion does not come through physical attraction alone. It comes from deep commitment, enthusiasm, interest and excitement. The essence of love and happiness are the same, all we need to do is to live each day with passion. ~Bernajoy Vaal

  8. Wake up and smell the rose

    Comment

    Wake up and smell the roses, it’s a beautiful day. ~ Chloe Moretz
    Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life.
    The most rewarding thing in life is the patience to wait for the right moment. 

    ~Anil Sinha 

  9. The essence of life

    Comment

    Stars are out and moon is hanging around and peeping through your window just to say ‘good night, sweet dreams’. This is what has always been the essence of life – disappointment comes before hope, hurt comes before love and dark comes before brightness to make us realize how important their presence is. ~Unknown

  10. Most healing force in the world

    Comment

    Love is the most healing force in the world; nothing goes deeper than love. It heals not only the body, not only the mind, but also the soul. If one can love then all one´s wounds disappear. Then one becomes whole – and to be whole is to be holy.

    Unless one is whole one is not holy. The physical health is a superficial phenomenon. It can happen through medicine, it can happen through science. But the innermost core of one´s being can be healed only through love. Those who know the secret of love know the greatest secret of life. Then there is no misery for them, no old age, no death. Of course the body will become old and the body will die, but love reveals to you the truth that you are not the body. You are pure consciousness, you have no birth, no death. And to live in that pure consciousness is to live in tune with life. Bliss is a by-product of living in tune with life. ~Osho

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.

Problems we face today

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...
