1. Hate and Love

    20

    In this world
    Hate never yet dispelled hate.
    Only love dispels hate.
    This is the law,
    Ancient and inexhaustible.

    ~The Dhammapada

  2. Positive and negative

    61

    Positive and negative are directions.
    Which direction do you choose?

  3. Buddhist song

    28

    As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind,
    so the wise are not shaken by blame and praise.
    As a deep lake is clear and calm,
    so the wise become tranquil
    after they listened to the truth.

    Good people walk on regardless
    of what happens to them.
    Good people do not babble on about their desires.
    Whether touched by happiness or by sorrow,
    the wise never appear elated or depressed…

    ~Buddha

  4. Problem-solver and Complainer

    30

     


    When you consistently maintain a positive frame of mind,
    you’ll become known as a problem-solver rather than
    a complainer. People avoid complainers.
    They seek out problem-solvers.

    ~Joseph Sommerville

  5. Put yourself in others’ shoes

    33

    Always put yourself in others’ shoes.
    If you feel that it hurts you,
    it probably hurts the other person, too.
    ~Unknown

  6. World Peace

    22

    World peace can be achieved
    When, in each person,
    The power of love
    Replaces the love of power.

    ~Sri Chinmoy

  7. Impermanence

    29

    Praise and blame,
    gain and loss,
    pleasure and sorrow
    come and go like the wind.

    To be happy,
    rest like a giant tree
    in the midst of them all.
    ~Buddha

  8. The ones that hurt you

    32

    The ones that you love the most
    are usually the ones that hurt you the most.
    ~Unknown

  9. Relationship and Ego

    48

    Apologizing does not always mean that you’re
    wrong and the other person is right. It just means
    that you value your relationship more than your ego.
    ~ Positive Outlooks

  10. Be your own kind of beautiful

    41

    Live without pretending,
    Love without depending,
    Listen without defending,
    Speak without offending.
    ~Unknown

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.
