1. The chance to start again

    Comment

    One of God’s greatest gifts is the chance to start again.
    No failure, no ending, no heartbreak ever gets the last word.

  2. Through faith and love…

    Comment

    It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all through despair and hope,
    through faith and love. Till we find our place on the path unwinding.
    ~The Lion King

  3. Chase that tail!

    Comment

    Chase that tail! Dogs chase their tails for a variety of reasons: curiosity, exercise, anxiety, predatory instinct or, they might have fleas! If your dog is chasing his tail excessively, talk with your vet. ~PetFinder

    Here’s looking at you. Dogs have three eyelids, an upper lid, a lower lid and the third lid, called a nictitating membrane or “haw,” which helps keep the eye moist and protected. Source: Whole Dog Journal

  5. A great character

    Comment

    Strong people don’t put others down, they lift them up. ~Unknown
    A great character is not the one who makes every person feel small. But the real greatness is in making every person feel great about their own self. ~Vikas Runwal

  6. Brighten the world with your smile

    Comment

    A smile can open a heart faster then a key can open a lock. Smiles are free, so please don’t save them. Brighten the world with your smile. Smiling never consumes electricity but gives more light to your personality. Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love. ~Unknown

  7. A good deed is never lost

    Comment

    A tree is known by its fruit;
    a man by his deeds.
    A good deed is never lost;
    he who sows courtesy reaps friendship,
    and he who plants kindness gathers love.

  8. A hug with love from Kitty

    Comment

    Cats are really cool. They are also very soft. Cat people are 25% likely to pick George as their favorite Beatle. A cat’s carbon footprint is similar to that of a VW Bug, whereas a dog’s is more like a Hummer. Source: Buzzfeed

  9. Miles cannot separate you…

    Comment

    If you want to be with someone you love,
    aren’t you already there?

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.
