1. Love is always patient and kind

    178 November 14, 2013

    Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. ~Nicholas Sparks

  5. My little sister and I

    133 November 9, 2013

    Our family just buried our little sister, Alanthara on our 28th anniversary in America, today [November 9 ]. Yes, this day is bittersweet for us. Coincidentally, little sister is now Dany Svay's neighbor at the cemetery. Dany is a grandson of our family's very close friend and room mate in Texas. We moved to Massachusetts together on November 3, 1987, the day my little sister passed away [26 years later]. Dany died from drowning at his high school pool on April 9th, 2013 at age 16. We purchased a plot for our little sister, without knowing…From now on my mother and Dany's grandma can cry together during their visits….

  6. I'm doing fine

    216 November 3, 2013

    Thank you for your kind messages. Please do not worry about me. I am doing fine. I know it's very difficult for my parents and siblings to get through each day without our little sister. We have been together for 26 years. I was shocked when my little brother came to my room around 3 am to deliver this sad news… I don't know how to cry… Unlike everyone else, my eyes are very dry. I have no tears to cry…

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...
