1. You don’t need anyone to tell you who you are

    Comment

    You’re all geniuses, and you’re all beautiful.
    You don’t need anyone to tell you who you are.
    You are what you are. Get out there and get peace,
    think peace, and live peace and breathe peace,
    and you’ll get it as soon as you like.

    ~John Lennon

  2. It matters only that you Love

    Comment

    It matters not who you love, where you love,
    why you love, when you love or how you love,
    it matters only that you love. ~John Lennon

  3. They have no real shelter

    17
    Poor people in my country, Cambodia
    When you are sad, when you are not happy, because life does not turn out as you wished it to be, please look at this picture and think about the suffering of the poor. Having no bed, no pillow, no blanket, no food, no drink… miserable, indeed. You will be able to wear a genuine smile and appreciate with what you are having, if and only if you are able to throw your eyes this far… ~Jendhamuni

  4. Love should be everything

    84

    'Heartbreaker' lyric by Dionne Warwick

    I got to say it and it's hard for me
    You got me cryin'
    Like I thought I would never be
    Love is believin' but you let me down
    How can I love you when you ain't around
    And I

    Get to the morning and you never call
    Love should be everything or not at all
    And it don't matter what ever you do
    I made a life out of lovin' you

    Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
    I'm cryin' in the rain
    I could be searchin' my world
    For a love everlasting
    Feeling no pain
    When will we meet again

    Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
    Is it a lesson that I never knew
    Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under
    My love for you

    Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
    When I was bein' what you want me to be
    Suddenly everything I ever wanted
    Has passed me by
    This world may end
    Not you and I

    My love is stronger than the universe
    My soul is cryin' for you
    And that can not be reversed
    You made the rules and you could not see
    You made a life out of hurtin' me

    Out of my mind
    I am held by the power of you love
    Tell me when do we try
    Or should we say goodbye
    Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
    When I was bein' what you want me to be
    Suddenly everything I ever wanted
    Has passed me by

    Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker
    Is it a lesson that I never knew
    Suddenly everything I ever wanted
    My love for you, oh

    Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
    When I was bein' what you want me to be
    Suddenly everything I ever wanted
    Has passed me by

  5. We live in a world…

    Comment

    We live in a world where we have to hide to make love,
    while violence is practiced in broad daylight. 
    ~John Lennon

  6. It’s impossible…

    Comment

    Trying to please everybody is impossible – if you did that,
    ou’d end up in the middle with nobody liking you.
    You’ve just got to make the decision about what you
    think is your best, and do it. ~John Lennon

  7. Death toll from devastating landslides in Hiroshima, Japan rose to 50

    Comment

    The death toll from devastating midweek landslides in Hiroshima rose to 50 with 38 others missing on Sunday as fresh rain stoked fears of more disasters and hampered the round-the-clock search for survivors.

    Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called off a planned inspection tour of the
    western Japan city by helicopter on the day as his presence was feared
    to further complicate the search and rescue mission as rain intensified,
    media reports said. (AP)

  8. Beautiful ox cart…

    Comment

    This beautiful ox cart is part of our Cambodian tradition and history. But this famous transportation is becoming an endangered species due to the introduction of engine-driven tractors.

    “A bullock cart or ox cart is a two-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicle pulled by oxen (draught cattle). It is a means of transportation used since ancient times in many parts of the world. They are still used today where modern vehicles are too expensive or the infrastructure does not favor them.” Wikipedia

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.

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.
