  5. My Smile

    37 July 12, 2013

    I smile when I see you, I smile when I talk to you, I smile when you touch me, I smile when you're near me, I smile when you look at me, I smile when I think of you, I smile for you. But the one time I'm truly happy is when I make YOU smile back. ~Unknown

  6. The colors of your Mind

    28 July 11, 2013

    The colors that come up when you close your eyes during your meditation are a reflection of your mind. If you've been doing/speaking/thinking good things then the mind is bright. If you've been doing/speaking/thinking bad things then the mind is dark. ~Ven. Ajahn Brahm

  7. A giver

    25 July 11, 2013

    A giver of food is a giver of strength.
    A giver of clothes, a giver of beauty.
    A giver of a vehicle, a giver of ease.
    A giver of a lamp, a giver of vision.
    And the one who gives a residence,
    is the one who is a giver of everything.
    But the one who teaches the Dhamma
    is a giver of the Deathless.

    ~ The Buddha

  8. Compassion and Love, our inner strength

    27 July 11, 2013

    We find that if a person lives a very selfish life and is never concerned about the welfare of others, he will have few friends, and people will not take much notice of him.  At the time of his death, there will not be many people who will regret his passing.  Some deceptive and negative persons may be very powerful and wealthy, and therefore some people- for economic reasons and so forth- might portray themselves as friends, but they will speak against such person behind their back.  When these negative person die, these very same "friends" may rejoice at their death.

    On the other hand, many people mourn and regret the death of a person who is very kind and always altruistic and who works for the benefit of others.  We find that altruism, as well as the person who possesses it, is regarded as the friend of all, and it becomes the object of veneration and respect by others.  ~H.H. Dalai Lama

  9. I'm doing perfectly fine

    44 July 11, 2013

    I am very sorry that I made many of you here worry about me, because of the poem I dedicated to you yesterday. I thought it was a life encouraging poem on letting go, but many of you thought this is a 'goodbye' message from me. I'm not going anywhere. And yes, I'm still alive. I only had a chance to read everyone's email, but didn't have time to reply yet. Please give me some time. I will get back to you once I get some tasks done. Thank you.~Jendhamuni

  10. Miss Me But Let Me Go

    41 July 10, 2013

    Dedicate to all my g+ friends

    When I come to the end of the road
    And the sun has set for me
    I want to rites in a gloom-filled room
    Why cry for a soul set free?
    Miss me a little-but not too long
    And not with your head bowed low
    Remember the love that we once shared
    Miss me-but let me go
    For this is a journey that we all must take
    And each must go alone.
    It's all part of the Master's plan
    A step on the road to home
    When you are lonely and sick of heart
    Go to the friends we know
    And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
    Miss me but let me go.

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...
