1. The Little Things

    509 January 22, 2014

    The little things are most worthwhile–
    A quiet word, a look, a smile,
    A listening ear that's quick to share
    Another's thoughts, another's care…
    Though sometimes they may seem quite small, 
    These little things mean most of all.

  2. kindness

    119 January 21, 2014

    What could be greater than to realize this?
    That kindness is the way to all gain and all knowing
    That kindness is the only thing that ever matters
    What else is there to be which takes us further
    Than being kind to someone for no reason?
    Other than to be kind!

    Loving those around us is the only way to anything
    Because there’s no distinction between them and us
    When we give to someone, we give to ourselves as well
    Not because giving might bring us some nice reward
    But because that person is us and we are them!
    Not just similar to us, for that's not enough 
    We're each guided by the same force
    And made of the very same stuff!
    Kindness is our greatest gift to ourselves
    Kindness is our birthright and our responsibility
    Kindness is our way home 
    Kindness is the true religion of all the universe!

  3. The Rose

    89 January 21, 2014

    Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared. ~Tupac Shakur

  4. All hold up love as an ideal

    166 January 20, 2014

    I maintain that Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism all hold up love as an ideal, seek to benefit humanity through spiritual practice, and strive to make their followers better people. All religions teach moral precepts for the advancement of mind, body, speech, and action: do not lie or steal or take others’ lives, and so on. Unselfishness is the common foundation laid down by all great spiritual teachers. Dalai Lama

  6. Every now and then

    38 January 20, 2014

    There's a sorrow and pain in everyone's life, but every now and then there's a ray of light that melts the loneliness in your heart and brings comfort like hot soup and a soft bed. ~Hubert Selby Jr.

  10. Anyone who falls in LOVE

    105 January 13, 2014

    Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time. ~Haruki Murakami

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.

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...
