1. Another blind faith in Cambodia

    14
    I wonder who is behind this, in Cambodia
    Do some research, before believing in nonsense!
    Do not forget: Thean Vuthy destroys buddhism

    Sixty-six Buddha statues were discovered recently, through a 16-year-old boy’s dream. The poor ones are going to believe this crazy rumor predicted by liars again till the liars drain every single penny from their pockets… Good luck Cambodia!

  3. May All Your Dreams Come True

    61

    Time goes on,
    Will not stop for me nor for you.

    Hope is the one, that keeps on moving us.
    Yes that's true.

    True is the fact,
    Hope has 'spiritual grace'.

    Embedded with strength and courage,
    Guide us to run in the race.

    Let your hope never die,
    Never let it remain away from you.

    Hope is the strength,
    Strength to run your life all through.

    Never feel lonely, never feel sad,
    Let hope be there with you, to make you feel glad.

    Life is beautiful,
    at times life gets tough,

    Hope is the one that keeps you strong,
    No matter how life gets rough.

    May 'Hope' remain be by your side,
    May it never gets apart from you.

    May it be your strength,
    May every dream, every desire of you come true.

    Poem title: Hope ''Spiritual Grace''

  4. Family is not always blood

    233

    Family is not always blood.
    It’s the people in your life
    who want you in theirs,
    the ones who accept you for
    who you are. The ones who would
    do anything to see you smile,
    and who love you no matter what.

    ~Unknown

  5. A Spiritual Journey

    30

    Many lovely stories have been told
    So passionately, rich they are like gold.
    Strong feelings, lively emotions have been preserved
    So intensely, true they are so vivid! 
    Daily melodies have added a sweet flavour
    Conveying divine messages from our Saviour.
    A spiritual journey had its start, 
    And it will never stop or fall apart.
    She is pursuing her dream warmly
    Enlightened by the ONE who attentively
    Guides her, feeding her soul and mind
    To be able to reach there those so kind!

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.

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...
