Violence

All beings tremble before violence.
All fear death.
All love life.

See yourself in others.
Then whom can you hurt?
What harm can you do?

    Thats beautiful said. I wish it was so simple in and out. Join the place of true men and woman and it will be so..Although when in the wrong place at the wrong time take your warriors soul…..This world has changed and the values and morales like this have been forgotten and not all people have the same souls. Nor do they really want them. I am in acceptance to which that we all feel the same emotions.. as I feel these emotions. so I can relate but, how do you relate to the people whom which are born in dark places , taught dark things, that only harness and breed hate, mistrust, and crulety. Only those feelings will pass through That doesn't mean you should ever Give up on them or there humanity. Ever!!! Everyone and thing our mother earth deserves to be embraced, loved and given a chance or three to enlightment..What feelings c ome from the minds of twisted tortured souls born not to light, only Dark.!! "You might not save yourself throwing flowers at swords"

Live & Die for Buddhism

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.

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...
