3. Avoid putting yourself before others

    17 June 1, 2013

    I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men. ~Laozi

  4. Beware

    27 June 1, 2013

    Beware of your thoughts as they become your words. Beware of your words as they become your actions. Beware of your actions as they become your habits. Beware of your habits as they become your fate. ~Zen

  5. See you in 13 hours

    75 May 31, 2013
    Are you a shepherd
    Who counts another man’s sheep,
    Never sharing the way?

    Read as few words as you like
    And speak fewer
    But act upon the law.

    Give up the old ways –
    Passion, enmity, folly.
    Know the truth and find peace.
    Share the way.

    The Buddha – Dhammapada

  6. Real Peace

    22 May 31, 2013

    Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. ~Unknown

  10. The Essence Of Love

    68 May 29, 2013

    Training is needed in order to love properly; and to be able to give happiness and joy, you must practice DEEP LOOKING directed toward the other person you love. Because if you do not understand this person, you cannot love properly. Understanding is the essence of love. If you cannot understand, you cannot love. That is the message of the Buddha. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

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.
