1. Sweet dream…

    Comment

    Never expect anything in return from anyone, but the truth is
    when we really love someone, we naturally expect a little
    care from them. ~sms4smile

  2. From the depths of our hearts

    Comment

    The practice of lovingkindness can uplift us & relieve sorrow & unhappiness. The more we genuinely care about others the greater our own happiness & inner peace. ~Allan Lokos

    “We live in a world today that lacks loving-kindness and compassion for our fellow man and woman. As Gandhi so eloquently stated, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” We need to strive to be better, to be the image of selflessness. Love and give to those in need–expecting nothing in return. Give out of sincerity and from the depths of our hearts. Have compassion for every man, woman and child, no matter what ethnicity or background they come from. Love is blind. Love is unconditional. Love has the power to heal and redeem, and that is what Humanity should strive for.” ~Terry A O’Neal

  3. A real love letter…

    Comment

    A real love letter is made of insight, understanding, and compassion. Otherwise it’s not a love letter. A true love letter can produce a transformation in the other person, and therefore in the world. But before it produces a transformation in the other person, it has to produce a transformation within us. Some letters may take the whole of our lifetime to write. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  6. Many flowers and a smile for you…

    Comment

    Flowers and a Smile for all my beautiful friends for Valentine’s Day. As you can see here, there is no rose, only lotuses, cherry blossoms and several others. ~Jendhamuni

    “Kind hearts are the gardens,
    Kind thoughts are the roots,
    Kind words are the flowers,
    Kind deeds are the fruits,
    Take care of your garden
    And keep out the weeds,
    Fill it with sunshine,
    Kind words, and Kind deeds.”

    ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

     

  7. Happy Valentine’se Day

    Comment

    Don’t wait until it’s too late
    to tell someone how much you love,
    how much you care.
    Because when they’re gone,
    no matter how loud you shout and cry,
    they won’t hear you anymore.

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.

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...
