  5. The calm one is…

    Comment May 7, 2014

    Victory breeds hatred, for the conquered is unhappy.
    The calm one is he who has given up both victory and defeat.

    ~Dhammapada

  7. Unless you let go

    Comment May 7, 2014

    The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, 
    unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that 
    the situation is over, you cannot move forward. 

    ― Steve Maraboli

  9. The day I let everything go

    Comment May 7, 2014

    The day I understood everything, 
    was the day I stopped trying to figure everything out.
    The day I knew peace was the day I let everything go.

    ― C. JoyBell C.

  10. Family is family

    Comment May 7, 2014


    There is no such thing as a “broken family.” Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you. ― C. JoyBell C.

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.
