1. People will never forget how you made them feel

    Comment

    I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. ― Maya Angelou

  3. Always and Forever

    Comment

    As I write, I’ll sing this song
    for the greatest love I’ve ever known.
    To my heart, you have the only key,
    I beg of you, never set me free.
    I prayed to God for a love so true
    now, I, realize He already knew.
    In time my prayer WAS answered,
    the most wonderful woman
    HE BLESSED ME WITH YOU.
    What we share feels so right
    to say I love you every night.
    Wonderful moments shared,
    precious memories, still tell me you care.
    I see your shadow,
    as I lay myself to sleep.
    Dreams of you, oh so sweet
    in my heart, I will keep.
    Look into my heart, my life.
    Tell me, what do you see?
    can you feel the need, the want, as I
    to be your husband, you my wife.
    Much joy and happiness you’ve brought me.
    If I had life to live again, I’d want to with you,
    my lover, my best friend.
    Always and Forever, I’ll love you till the end.

Live & Die for Buddhism

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.
