1. You must learn to let go, release the stress

    3 August 1, 2020

    The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward. Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny. You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway. ~Steve Maraboli

  7. Transform negative energy into an aura of positivity

    Comment July 24, 2020

    HATE has 4 letters, but so does LOVE
    ENEMIES has 7 letters, but so does FRIENDS…
    LYING has 5 letters, but so does TRUTH…
    HURT has 4 letters, but so does HEAL…

    Transform every negative energy into an aura of positivity…
    It’s your perception that makes the difference in the way you feel.

  8. We can learn to live in peace and with a kind heart

    Comment July 16, 2020

    Peace is possible. We can step out of the struggle with ourselves, with our judgments and fears and inner conflicts. We can learn to live in peace and with a kind heart, without believing the reactive mind. — Jack Kornfield

  9. More compassion

    Comment July 16, 2020

    If there is one thing this world needs, it is more compassion. With tenderness and courage we can learn compassion for ourselves and others. — Jack Kornfield

  10. Kindness and patience

    Comment July 16, 2020

    To steady and calm the mind takes kindness and patience. Training the mind in meditation is like training a puppy. We put the puppy down and say, “Sit. Stay.” What does it do? It gets up and runs around. “Stay.” It runs around again. Twenty times, “Stay.” After a while, slowly, the puppy settles down. — Jack Kornfield

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.
