1. Making the Heart good

    Comment

    In order to give up evil and cultivate the good you don’t have to
    go looking anywhere else. If your mind has gone bad, don’t go looking
    over at this person and that person. Just look at your own mind and find
    out where these thoughts come from. Why does the mind think such
    things? Understand that all things are transient. Love is transient,
    hate is transient.

    ~Ajahn Chah

  2. A friend…

    Comment

    A friend is someone who gives you total freedom
    to be yourself-and
    especially to feel, or not feel.
    Whatever you happen to be feeling at
    any moment
    is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to –
    letting
    a person be what he really is.

    ― Jim Morrison

  3. Character cannot be developed…

    Comment

    Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
    Only through experience of trial and suffering
    can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired,
    and success achieved.

    ~Helen Keller

  4. The meaning in Life

    Comment

    You will find meaning in life only if you create it.
    It is not lying there somewhere behind the bushes,
    so you can go and you search a little bit and find it.
    It is not there like a rock that you will find.
    It is a poetry to be composed,
    it is a song to be sung,
    it is a dance to be danced.

    Osho

  5. The beauty of life…

    Comment

    Once you have started seeing the beauty of life,
    ugliness starts disappearing.
    If you start looking at life with joy,
    sadness starts disappearing.
    You cannot have heaven and hell together,
    you can have only one.
    It is your choice.

    ~Osho

  6. Live Harmoniously

    Comment

    World history tells us that racial discrimination, colour bar, religious fanaticism and greed for political power and wealth have created enormous misfortunes, miseries and troubles in this world and have taken a heavy toll of lives in a cruel way. These issues have never contributed anything towards peace and happiness. People who are thirsty for power and wealth and intoxicated with jealously* always create troubles and often try to justify their cruel acts by talking nonsense and by offending others. We are living in a world which is physically united and mentally divided.

    ~Ven. Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda

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.
