2. There are times we all feel

    35 August 3, 2014

    "How we perceive a situation and how we react to it is the basis of our stress. If you focus on the negative in any situation, you can expect high stress levels. However, if you try and see the good in the situation, your stress levels will greatly diminish." ~Catherine Pulsifer

    Yes, there are times we all feel a little stressed, but it is how your allow yourself to react which will measure your ability to overcome it. If you can find something positive to learn in any situation, you will be able to control your state of well-being. ~Beyond The Quote

  4. Mother’s Love is peace…

    Comment August 3, 2014

    A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
    It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down
    remorselessly all that stands in its path. ~Agatha Christie

  5. Lotus Flower for my Friends

    125 August 3, 2014

    Happy Friendship Day to all my wonderful Friends
    A seven-year-old girl took this photo of me at the Lotus pond, in the forest. And she told me to smile just like a happy fairy who gets so excited seeing beautiful lotus flowers at the pond… Since I am not a fairy, I had to smile just like Jendhamuni! She's the girl who decorated my hair with this silver head scarf. ~Jendhamuni

    Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look
    for a successful personality and duplicate it. ~Bruce Lee

  9. Everyone of us…

    Comment August 2, 2014

    Everyone of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process,
    care for ourselves. Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give
    something back. ~Princess Diana

  10. If someone gives you a gift…

    Comment August 2, 2014

    A Buddhist story: A man came shouting angrily at Buddha, who remained unaffected by him. When questioned by others as to how he remained calm and unaffected, Buddha answered with a question.

    “If someone gives you a gift and you choose not to receive it, to whom then does the gift belong?”

    Of course it stays with the giver. ― Bronnie Ware

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.
