1. Every walk with nature

    2 July 13, 2020

    Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.​​

    Jendhamuni at Wat Kiryvongsa Bopharam on July 5, 2020.

  3. Nature speaks, land speaks

    Comment July 13, 2020

    There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story. ~Linda Hogan

    Jendhamuni at Wat Kiryvongsa Bopharam on July 5, 2020.

  4. Kindness is extended to all

    Comment July 13, 2020

    One who is kind is sympathetic and gentle with others. He is considerate of others’ feelings and courteous in his behavior. He has a helpful nature. Kindness pardons others’ weaknesses and faults. Kindness is extended to all — to the aged and the young, to animals, to those low of station as well as the high. ~Ezra Taft Benson

  5. Human kindness

    Comment July 13, 2020

    Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.  ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

  6. Examine your own mind every day

    Comment July 11, 2020

    “To become your own psychologist,” says Lama Yeshe, “you don’t have to learn some big philosophy. All you have to do is examine your own mind every day. You already examine material things every day—every morning you check out the food in your refrigerator. Why not check out the state of your own mind? Investigating your own mind is much more important!” ~ Jack Kornfield

  7. Kind attention mindfulness

    Comment July 11, 2020

    When you bring the kind attention mindfulness to your inner states it will open up new possibilities. Seeing clearly the varied states of mind you will then have a choice. With practice, you can acknowledge the difficult states with compassion and then incline your mind toward positive qualities like loving-kindness and peace. In the midst of any circumstance you can invite courage and goodwill toward yourself and the world around you to return. ~Jack Kornfield

  8. To work with our mental states

    Comment July 11, 2020

    To work with our mental states, we have to acknowledge how rapidly these states can change, often disappearing without our noticing. Because we are not aware of our inner states, we feel controlled by outside influences. The world will alternately please us or be at fault, and we will be caught in habitual grasping or frustration. ~ Jack Kornfield

  9. Our spiritual being

    3 July 9, 2020

    Letting go and moving through life from one change to another brings the maturing of our spiritual being. In the end we discover that to love and let go can be the same thing. Both ways do not seek to possess. Both allow us to touch each moment of this changing life and allow us to be there fully for whatever arises next. ~Jack Kornfield

  10. We do not possess or own anything

    Comment July 9, 2020

    To love fully and live well requires us to recognize finally that we do not possess or own anything—our homes, our cars, our loved ones, not even our own body. Spiritual joy and wisdom do not come through possession but rather through our capacity to open, to love more fully, and to move and be free in life. ~ 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.

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...
