1. A Loving Heart

    What is a loving heart? A loving heart is sensitive to the whole of life, to all persons; a loving heart doesn’t harden itself to any persons or things. ~Anthony de Mello

  2. If a great problem is set before you…

    Comment

    It is through solving problems correctly that we grow spiritually.  We are never given a burden unless we have the capacity to overcome it.  If a great problem is set before you, this merely indicates that you have the great inner strength to solve a great problem.  There is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty the greater the opportunity for growth.  ~Peace Pilgrim

  3. Dogs are generous creatures

    Dogs are generous creatures. They shower their affection
    without expecting anything in return. They have boundless
    energy, enthusiasm, and loyalty. The moment you enter home,
    your dog greets you with warm hugs and licks.
    Dogs are man’s best friend, no doubt.

  4. Love tips for woman

    Comment

    If you are in love with someone, don’t spend days and nights chatting with him. It may show the man you love that  you are too easy to get and the relationship will no longer be special. The time you spend together should be precious and priceless. You don’t want him to be able to reach you 24/7, otherwise, it’s no longer special. You just need to play a little hard to get! But don’t play too hard to get, because the man you love might think you are a snob and will leave you for someone else!;)

  6. Train your mind

    57

    We must train our mind on how to handle sad
    and negative news, so we won't feel disturbed
    by what's happening in this whole world. 
    Inner peace is not about hiding, running a way or blocking
    yourself from all these sad news, but to learn how to face it,
    without judgment and negative reaction. 
    All events are blessings given to us to learn from…

  7. Woman Facing Death Sentence in Sudan Gives Birth

    Comment

    Caption: Meriam Ibrahim has given birth in a Sudanese jail after being handed the death sentence because a court did not recognise her marriage to Christian Daniel Wani, a U.S. citizen, who lives in Manchester, New Hampshire

    By ABC NEWS, May 27, 2014
    Good Morning America

    Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag, the Sudanese woman facing a death sentence for marrying a Christian, has given birth, Amnesty International confirmed to ABC News.

    The woman was sentenced to death for apostasy for marrying a Christian and converting to his religion.

    Sudan’s Islamic court also did not recognize the legitimacy of her marriage, so it also convicted her of adultery and sentenced her to 100 lashes before she is to be hanged.

    Her husband, Daniel Wani, is an American citizen who was working in New Hampshire and rushed back to Sudan in an attempt to save his wife’s life.

    She is reportedly slated to remain in jail for two years to nurse the child before she is to be flogged and hanged.

    The court’s sentence has prompted statements of concern from Western governments and human rights groups.

    Her lawyers continue to appeal and petition for clemency.

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.
