1. In the eyes of others

    Comment

    Do not seek
    the measure of your true worth
    in the eyes of others.

    Search instead
    within your own heart.

  2. A New House

    Comment

    If I search your face only looking for my reflection
    How can I see you as you really are
    If I fill the hours with empty chatter
    How can I hear you when you finally decide to talk
    It is love, indeed
    This that brings me to you
    And this is why a new house needs to be built
    With doors big enough for understanding and compassion to fit through

  3. A chain of fragrant flowers

    Comment

    A chain of fragrant flowers, these snow mountains are tranquil and fresh.
    In a healing land where white incense rises sweet,
    May the gracious beauty of luminous moonbeams,
    Light of the spiritual and temporal worlds,
    Conquer all strife, the darkness of the shadow side.

    ~His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje

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...
