1. Some feelings…

    Comment

    Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help
    you find them again. Some truths are so painful that only shame can help
    you live with them. Some things are so sad that only your soul can do
    the crying for them. ~Gregory David Roberts

  2. When accepted…

    Comment

    Emotional discomfort, when accepted, rises, crests and falls
    in a series of waves. Each wave washes a part of us away
    and deposits treasures we never imagined. Out goes naivete,
    in comes wisdom; out goes anger, in comes discernment;
    out goes despair, in comes kindness. No one would call it easy,
    but the rhythm of emotional pain that we learn to tolerate
    is natural, constructive and expansive… The pain leaves you
    healthier than it found you. ~Martha Beck

  3. Your greatest treasures…

    Comment

    Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are
    your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts,
    you return to the source of being. Patient with both
    friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are.
    Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings
    in the world. ~Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

  4. Make the most of this morning

    Comment

    Mornings are the most beautiful
    time of the day.
    So wake up with a big smile on your face
    and make the most of this morning!

  5. What we are born with

    36

    Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us. ~Marianne Williamson

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
