  3. A real wise man

    13 August 4, 2013

    A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again, but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.
     ~Buddha, from The Dhammapada

  6. Speak or Act with a Pure Mind

    25 August 2, 2013

    We are what we think.
    All that we are arises with our thoughts.
    With our thoughts we make the world.
    Speak or act with an impure mind
    And trouble will follow you
    As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.

    We are what we think.
    All that we are arises with our thoughts.
    With our thoughts we make the world.
    Speak or act with a pure mind
    And happiness will follow you
    As your shadow, unbreakable.

    How can a troubled mind
    Understand the way?
    Your worst enemy cannot harm you
    As much as your own thoughts, unguarded.

    But once mastered,
    No one can help you as much,
    Not even your father or your mother.

    ~Dhammapada The Buddha

  7. Winning and Losing

    22 August 2, 2013

    Winning gives birth to hostility.
    Losing, one lies down in pain.
    The calmed lie down with ease,
    having set winning & losing aside.

    Dhammapada 15.201 The Buddha

    24 August 1, 2013

  10. Do something that makes you Smile

    23 August 1, 2013

    Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. ~ Og Mandino

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.

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...
