1. People in your life…

    Comment

    Being caring allows you to have empathy for others
    and to live a life based on affection, love, and compassion
    for the people around you. It can be tempting to fall into
    a life of selfishness and to focus only on your own goals
    and desires, but your days will be far more rewarding
    if you think about what the people in your life are thinking
    and feeling. Being caring means providing a listening ear,
    noticing when someone needs help, and helping your
    community without asking for a reward.

    With a faithful stewardship, the earth will continue to offer its harvest.

    doing to ourselves and to one another.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

  4. Do not be afraid

    Comment

    Do not be afraid; our fate cannot be taken
    from us; it is a gift. ~Dante Alighieri

  5. The thoughts of God…

    Comment

    You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive truth; all things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God. ~ Wallace D. Wattles

  6. No matter how things go wrong…

    Comment

    Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.  If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you.  You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.  Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.  And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.

    We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us.  We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past.  But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.  Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

    ~Marc and Angel

  7. What it truly means to Love someone…

    Comment

    It’s the Energy of Love that binds The Uni-verse together. Love is what breathes life into us and gives all living things this chance to be alive.

    If you say you Love someone because of what they can give you, that’s not Love, that’s selfishness. When you Love someone, it’s always from a place of overflow rather than lack.

    Love is letting go because no one feels Loved when they are controlled or manipulated. No one really feels Loved when they can sense that someone is trying to take from them instead of give.

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
