1. Make this world a better place

    31 May 22, 2013

    Sometimes just a smile on our face can help to make this world a better place. Stand up for the things that are right. Try to talk things out instead of fight. Lend a hand when you can, get involved this is good. You can help to make a difference in your neighborhood. ~Alan, Robert

  5. Look To Your Own Faults

    34 May 21, 2013

    The bee gathers nectar from the flower 
    Without marring its beauty or perfume. 
    So let the master settle, and wander. 

    Look to your own faults, 
    What you have done or left undone. 
    Overlook the faults of others. 

    ~Buddha

  6. A Mind Beyond Judgements

    13 May 21, 2013

    How can a troubled mind 
    Understand the way? 
    If a man is disturbed 
    He will never be filled with knowledge. 
    An untroubled mind, 
    No longer seeking to consider 
    What is right and what is wrong, 
    A mind beyond judgements, 
    Watches and understands. 
    Know that the body is a fragile jar, 
    And make a castle of your mind. 
    In every trial 
    Let understanding fight for you 
    To defend what you have won. 

    ~Buddha

  8. Treat Everyone as a Friend

    42 May 19, 2013

    To be kind, honest and have positive thoughts; to forgive those who harm us and treat everyone as a friend; to help those who are suffering and never to consider ourselves superior to anyone else: even if this advice seems rather simplistic, make the effort of seeing whether by following it you can find greater happiness. ~ Dalai Lama

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...
