1. When I wake up in the morning

    133 March 5, 2014

    I can't do anything about the past, and I don't know what the future holds. But when I wake up in the morning, I can make up my mind to do my best to enjoy my day, I will strive higher, rise above obstacles and live in health, abundance and victory. I submitted myself to God and my all is in his hands. God will strengthen my weakness and He will heal my pain and bruises. ~ Bel Claveria Carig Martinez

  2. Love is the essence of your soul

    264 March 5, 2014

    Even if you haven’t received a lot of love from others in your life yet doesn’t mean you lack love or that you will never share love with another. Love is the essence of your soul. ~Annette Vaillancourt Ph.D.

    A soulmate will never leave you. They will always be apart of your life until one day the chance is given for them to become your life. It is then you will become one. ~Faye Hall

  4. Love at first sight

    36 March 5, 2014

    I believe
    in love at first sight
    but I will always believe 
    that the people
    we love
    we have loved before.
    Many, many, many times before
    and when we stumble
    through grace and circumstance 
    and that brilliant illusion of choice
    to finally meet them again, 
    we feel it faster
    each time through.
    The one glance 
    that set life alight
    is two sets of two eyes
    staring through the layers
    of lifetimes and stolen glances
    and first kisses and hands held;
    the brace against the weight 
    and unrelenting tide
    of waiting.
    I believe
    in love at first sight
    but am not burdened with the misconception
    that it's a first sight
    at all.

    ~Tyler Knott Gregson

  5. A man who calls you Beautiful instead of Hot

    203 March 4, 2014

    When you find a man who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stand in front of you when other’s cast stones, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who will hold your hand when your sick, who thinks your pretty without makeup, the one who turns to his friends and say, ‘that’s her’, the one that would bear your rejection because losing you means losing his will to live, who kisses you when you screw up, watches the stars and names one for you and will hold and rock that baby for hours so you can sleep…..you marry him all over again. ~Shannon L. Alder

  7. When someone says

    108 March 4, 2014

    When someone says "please pray for me," they are not just saying "let's have lunch sometime." They are issuing an invitation into the depths of their lives and their humanity- and often with some urgency. And worry is not a substitute for prayer. Worry is a starting place, but not a staying place. Worry invites me into prayer. As a staying place, worry can be self-indulgent, paralyzing, draining, and controlling. When I take worry into prayer, it doesn't disappear, but it becomes smaller. ~Sybil MacBeth

  8. You are you

    I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves. ~Steve Maraboli

  10. Rejection is God’s Protection 

    479 March 3, 2014

    When someone rejects or breaks up with you, it may be a blessing in disguise. The person was not right for you. Or maybe you would have eventually been miserable with them. Now the door is open for someone else much better to come into your life. ~Pamela Cummins

Live & Die for Buddhism

Me & Grandma

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.

A Handful of Leaves

A Handful of Leaves

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.

Problems we face today

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
