1. When you try to understand everything

    Comment

    When you understand one thing through and through, you understand everything. When you try to understand everything, you will not understand anything. ~Shunryu Suzuki

  2. Write down how many things you want…

    Comment

    Write down how many things you want.
    Meditate on how many things you need.
    When you write them down
    You will see
    That you want millions of things.
    When you meditate
    You will notice
    That you need only one thing
    And that is God the Compassion,
    God the eternal Compassion.

    ~ Sri Chinmoy

  3. The road to freedom

    89

    Overcoming attachment does not mean becoming cold and indifferent.
    On the contrary, it means learning to have relaxed control over our mind
    through understanding the real causes of happiness and fulfillment,
    and this enables us to enjoy life more and suffer less.

    ~Kathleen McDonald

     

  4. The best security is faith

    Comment

    The richest wealth is wisdom;
    The strongest weapon is patience;
    The best security is faith;
    And the most effective tonic is laughter.

    ~SantaBanta

     

  5. Lotus Pond… again

    Comment

    Playing with little children in the Lotus pond. The little girl asked me to play
    with them in the pond, so I did. We had so much fun, and all our clothes got wet.

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.
