To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. — Johannes A. Gaertner

  • Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse. — Henry Van Dyke
  • Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other. — Randy Pausch
  • Give thanks not just on Thanksgiving Day, but every day of your life. Appreciate and never take for granted all that you have. — Catherine Pulsifer
  • Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. — Charles Dickens

    Got home before a couple of hours as mom told me over phone that she was not feeling well and as I entered the home I saw that all the family members were sitting around her and doctor was examining her and I came to know that her blood pressure was too high, doctor told me that she will be fine soon.
    I am also suffering from vertigo after recovering from fever last month. Don’t know what is happening to me but feeling like I need more rest. Good night from here Jen.

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.
