1. Faith looks up

    56

    "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

  2. The stars are out

    223

    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…

  3. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars

    Comment

    For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

    When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, your’re the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

  4. Learn to be calm

    Comment

    Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes
    do against cold.  For it you put on more clothes as the cold increases,
    it will have no power to hurt you.  So in like manner you must grow
    in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will be powerless
    to vex your mind. ~Leondardo Da Vinci

  6. Inexhaustible…

    Comment

    For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give,
    the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead,
     the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.

    ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

  7. It never troubles the sun

    109

    I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new. May your day be peaceful and beautiful!
    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

  8. Those moments in life…

    Comment

    It is always important to know when something has reached its end.
    Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter
    what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life
    that are over. ~Paulo Coelho

Live & Die for Buddhism

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...
