2. Art of Talking

    360 August 12, 2013

    Speak the truth not untruth, 
    Say what is pleasant, not unpleasant; 
    Speak what is true, not false. 
    Speak only words that do not bring remorse 
    Nor hurt another. That is good speech indeed.

  5. Finally I'm home again

    78 August 10, 2013

    Biggest crowd ever at the Opposition Leader Sam Rainsy's public forum today. The most successful forum in USA. Many supporters came from very far a way, some came all the way from Canada, Florida, South Carolina, and California. The hall was full, not enough space to sit. Many participants had to stand.

  8. Everyone wants a perfect ending

    25 August 8, 2013

    Everyone wants a perfect ending. But over the years I’ve learned that some of the best poems don’t rhyme, and many great stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, embracing change, and taking a moment and making the best of it without knowing what’s going to happen next. ~Marc and Angel

  9. What kind of killing does Buddha approve?

    142 August 8, 2013

    Buddha answered: there is only one thing: Anger

    As the Dhammapada says,
    If there’s no wound on the hand,
    that hand can hold poison.
    Poison won’t penetrate
    where there’s no wound.
    There’s no evil
    for those who don’t do it.

  10. Sunshine warms the gentle Earth

    20 August 8, 2013

    Sunshine gentle on my face,
    Sunshine, caressing, gentle, kind,
    Sunshine traveling, through endless miles of space,
    Sunshine forever on my mind.
    Sunshine warms the gentle Earth,
    Sunshine warms the seven seas,
    Sunshine chases sorrows, welcomes mirth,
    Sunshine does its very best to please.
     
    Poem title: Sunshine

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...
