    Hope you are fine, working for limited hours a day. It seems that rest of my life will remain the blank piece of paper. Can realise the lack of brightness and sharpness of brain. Take care good night from here Jen.

    Feeling very fresh after a sound sleep of seven hours which was after a long time, my phone was in silent mode mistakenly. Anyhow I realized that sleep was the main reason behind such suffering. Wishing you a wonderful time ahead 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.

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.
