    I don't know about you. But for me, 
    I cannot live without my mother…
    I had already lost my dearest grandma
    when I was 13, but can never imagine,
    losing my beloved Mother ever.
    I would rather depart this world
    before my dearest angel, my one
    and only one, my mother.

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.
