1. My little sister and I on November 9, 2013

    Comment

    Our family just buried our little sister, Alanthara on our 28th anniversary in America November 9, 2013. Yes, this day is bittersweet for us. Coincidentally, little sister is now Dany Svay’s neighbor at the cemetery. Dany is a grandson of our family’s very close friend and room mate in Texas. We moved to Massachusetts together on November 3, 1987, the day my little sister passed away [26 years later]. Dany died from drowning at his high school pool on April 9th, 2013 at age 16. We purchased a plot for our little sister, without knowing…From now on my mother and Dany’s grandma can cry together during their visits….

  2. Be yourself, authentically yourself. Respect yourself

    Comment

    The first step towards discovery is to accept yourself, rejoice in being yourself. Be yourself, authentically yourself. Respect yourself. Love yourself. You are a vast universe! And slowly slowly, as you become more conscious, you will be able to put things right, into right places. You are topsy-turvy, that is true, but nothing is wrong with you. You are not a sinner — just a little rearrangement and you will become a beautiful phenomenon. ~Osho

  3. One of the most beautiful flowers of the human soul

    Comment

    One who forgives is forgiven. The quality and capacity to forgive is one of the most beautiful flowers of the human soul. Revenge is ugly, mean; it is falling to the lowest. To forgive is to rise so high. The more one becomes capable of forgiving, the more one’s heart expands, one’s consciousness grows bigger. The day one can forgive all and everything is the day when god meets man, and man meets god. So let this quality of forgiveness become your very center. Don’t forgive in the sense that you are obliging. Don’t forgive as a duty, because then it creates the ego, and a very subtle ego, which is dangerous, more dangerous than revenge itself. The holy ego is the worst possible ego in the world. So don’t be righteous. Take it with ease; to forgive should come naturally, and then it is really a benediction. ~Osho

  5. Looking inside yourself…

    Comment

    Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say
    is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because
    you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends
    on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying
    about you. And you are always following other people, you are
    always trying to satisfy them. You are always trying to be respectable,
    you are always trying to decorate your ego. Rather than being
    disturbed by what others say, you should start looking inside
    yourself.  To know the real self is not so cheap. But people
    are always hankering for cheap things.  ~Osho

  6. Begins right now

    Comment

    The start of a new day begins right now. No going back to rewrite the past. Go forward and rewrite the future. Stop pondering over what you did and did not do. What you could and should not have done. Go forward with new wisdom and knowledge and make the ending much more than the beginning. Starting today, remember the choices you make today can affect your tomorrow so think before you act, before you do and before you don’t. Learning along the way. ~Janice Harri

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...
