We need to spend some time alone

February 20, 2014

We can't underestimate the value of silence. We need to create ourselves, need to spend time alone. If you don't, you risk not knowing yourself and not realizing your dreams. ~Jewel

    Morning take up a lonely sport, for the ones who have trouble meditating. Buddha did archery?

    Sadly, I spend most of my time alone but have not realized my dream. I do not even have a dream and that makes life a very sad thing indeed. I do not want what most people dream about at all, financial wealth, popularity, fame, travel, or to even make my mark on the world. I do not know anybody else like this. Everyone has a dream, whether they ever accomplish it or not, except me. I don't get it.

    When you are alone with you, silence is louder than words. To know yourself, the easiest way is to be completely with you at least for a few minutes daily and talk silently to yourself.

    Offering Ganges water to rising Sun early morning, when one does not hear any disturbing noise except lovely music of chirping of birds adds divinity to the ritual.

    The completeness of self is found when we can be alone and when we can bring all of who we are to another, receiving and being received fully.

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.
