1. Fashion your life…

    Comment

    Fashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds. ~Buddha

    A good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship;
    he who plants kindness, gathers love; pleasure bestowed on a grateful
    mind was never sterile, but generally gratitude begets reward.
    ~St. Basil

  2. Time to rise and shine

    Comment

    The sun is shining.
    The birds are singing.
    Get ready for a brand new day.

    Today’s weather report:
    You will get rain of blessings
    Fog of peace,
    Wind of joy,
    Snow of happiness
    Showers of love
    And smiles from Jendhamuni!

  3. You are not disturbed inside

    Comment

    Silence is something that comes from your heart, not from outside.
    Silence doesn’t mean not talking and not doing things; it means
    that you are not disturbed inside. If you’re truly silent, then no matter
    what situation you find yourself in, you can enjoy the silence.

     ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

  4. By remembering you…

    Comment

    Happiness is not something you postpone for the future.
    It’s something you design for the present.
    Make each moment a happy one.
    I just did it by remembering you!

    Let wind blow away your sadness
    Let rain wash away your worries
    Let sun bring you warmth
    Let new day bring you hope & happiness.

  5. The stars are out…

    Comment

    The stars are out, the moon is up,
    Moon has come to color your dreams,
    Stars to make them musical
    and my colorful rose to give you a warm
    and peaceful sleep.

    In this lovely night,
    I pray to the blue moon to protect you through the night
    the wind to blow away your stress
    and the twinkle stars to guide you the way…

  6. A bright day…

    Comment

    Hope this new day
    and every day of your life
    gives you lots of reasons
    to smile and be happy.

    Life is too short to hold grudges,
    fight with people and be unhappy.
    so let go of the pain and
    enjoy a bright day ahead!

  7. When you pray…

    Comment

    Prayer is only another name for good, clean, direct thinking. When you pray, think well what you are saying, and make your thoughts into things that are solid. In that manner, your prayer will have strength, and that strength shall become part of you, mind, body, and spirit. ~Richard Llewellyn

  8. Faith looks up…

    Comment

    “Whatever is going to happen will happen, whether we worry or not.” ~Ana Monnar
    Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage. Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

  9. It never troubles the sun…

    Comment

    I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new. 
    Why should I cumber myself with regrets that the receiver is not capacious? It never troubles the sun that some of his rays fall wide and vain into ungrateful space, and only a small part on the reflecting planet. Let your greatness educate the crude and cold companion.

    ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

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...
