1. An energy that needs to be transformed

    9 January 28, 2014

    Every time you have an energy that needs to be transformed, like jealousy or fear, do something to care for this energy, for this negative energy, if you do not want this energy to destroy you… There should be no conflict between one element of our being and another element of our being. There should only be an effort of taking care and being able to transform. So we must have a nonviolent attitude with regard to our suffering, our pain. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  3. We can react in two ways

    22 January 27, 2014

    When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways–either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength. ~Dalai Lama

  4. Something that we all fear

    11 January 27, 2014

    Cancer is something that we all fear,
    You're not alone, love is near.
    It must be very difficult to cope,
    Your strongest therapy is your hope.

    You have the strength to defeat,
    From your head to your feet.
    Stick with it, never surrender,
    By your side, we're your defender.

    Deep inside we sense your power,
    Our blessings we'd like to shower.
    We're so proud of all that you do,
    We know you can, we love you!

  5. Life and Love

    19 January 27, 2014

    Life and love share a bond,
    Not through magic, nor a wand.
    Each of us, both we need,
    Nurture them, like a garden seed.
    Life with no love, substance lacks,
    To each soul, a heavy tax.
    Love with no life, slowly fades,
    It may take a few decades.
    Life and love, has so much beauty,
    We must enjoy them, that's our duty.
    Open our hearts, and freely share,
    Life and love, will be very fair.

  6. Where there is anger

    Where there is anger, apply loving kindness. Where there is evil, offer good. Where there is stinginess, be generous. Where there are lies, be truthful. ~Thich Nhat Hạnh

  7. Your message

    21 January 27, 2014

    I have been busy. I've received and read all emails you sent me, but haven't have a chance to write you back. Please forgive me. I will take some time to send you my replies this weekend. Most of the time, I just come in and out to post some inspiring quotes/poems for you, that's why you hardly see me interacting with you on any of my posts. Thank you so much for your understanding. I miss all of you so much. You are  always part of my family.

  8. Light A Candle

    19 January 26, 2014

    Light a candle,
    see it glow,
    watch it dance,
    when you feel low,
    think of me,
    think of light,
    I'll always be here,
    day or night,
    a candle flickers,
    out of sight,
    but in your heart,
    I still burn bright,
    think not of sadness,
    that I'm not near,
    think of gladness,
    and joyous cheer,
    I have not left,
    I am not gone,
    I'm here to stay
    my little one,
    so when you light a candle
    and you see it glow
    and you watch it dance
    in your heart you'll know
    that I would never leave you
    even when you feel so blue
    I'm sitting up here with the Lord
    and now watching over you

  9. When you are real

    7 January 26, 2014

    When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. You're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. You are not real, and the coffee is not real either. Your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. When you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. This is genuine tea drinking. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

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

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...
