1. Heartfelt compassion…

    Real love is the union of two unconditional lovers who are committed
    to outdo each other in acts of sacrificial giving, selfless serving,
    undeserved forgiveness, unreserved admiration, heartfelt compassion
    and willful submission. ~Unknown

  2. Temptation cannot touch…

    Comment

    The wind cannot overturn a mountain.
    Temptation cannot touch the man
    Who is awake, strong and humble,
    Who masters himself and minds the law.

    Winning gives birth to hostility.
    Losing, one lies down in pain.
    The calmed lie down with ease,
    having set winning & losing aside.

    ~Dhammapada, The Buddha

  3. From time to time…

    Comment

    From time to time, to remind ourselves to relax and be peaceful, we may wish to set aside some time for a retreat, a day of mindfulness, when we can walk slowly, smile, drink tea with a friend, enjoy being together as if we are the happiest people on Earth. ― Thich Nhat Hạnh

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today.

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.

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.
