1. Through her eyes…

    Comment

    I am fearless because I have been afraid. I can laugh because I have known sadness…
    Sometimes God doesn’t change your situation because He’s trying to change your heart. ~Anonymous

  3. The memories

    31
     

    You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them. ~Iyanla Vanzant

  4. In my mind and heart

    105
     

    Acceptance is when you can look back and say, hey, I may not be okay with the fact that that happened, and I may not ever be, but there are new things in my mind and heart. New things to take my energy and attention. Things that actually deserve it. Things that don’t force me into having to accept anything I don’t want to or move on. Acceptance is tomorrow. Even if the pain is still there, you realize it may always be, and somehow, that’s okay. ~Brianna Wiest

  5. Throughout your life

    Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. ~Unknown

  6. Your angels

    Comment

    True friends always be there when the whole world left you,
    they always cheer you up when the whole world has turned
    you down and they never ask you to act like an angel
    but they become your angels. ~Unknown

  7. We need to remember…

    Comment

    As you grow up, the number of friends doesn’t matter. What matter is the number of true friends that you have. 

    When we suffer a loss, a break up, a painful change in our lives, we need to remember to take all the time we need to heal emotionally. Moving forward and getting back on track with our lives doesn’t take a day. It takes a lot of small steps to allow us to break free from our broken self and move on. ~Unknown

  8. A person who truly loves you…

    Comment

    True love doesn’t mean being inseparable; it means being separated and nothing changes. Love is not about how much you say ‘I love you’, but how much you can prove that it’s true love. A person who truly loves you will never stop believing in you and will never let you go, no matter how hard the situation is. ~Unknown

  9. Goodness and compassion in our hearts

    Comment

    The purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.

    When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present. ― Dalai Lama XIV

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...
