We owe everything to Mother Earth

August 14, 2013

The Earth is what we’re talking about, accepting the earth, not owning or possessing the Earth, but the Earth just as it is, abused, exploited, and despised, and rejected, and plowed, and mined and shat on.  It’s still the Earth and we owe everything to it. ~ W.S. Merwin

    The earth owns us, not the other way around.  Selling the soil you were born on is the biggest form of corruption. It is like selling the future of your kin.

    Beautiful words. I agree 1000%. I also feel the governments & the $ of power have no concern. It's the of the people of the world that needs to bond together. Rebuild our Earth as 1! The good far outweigh the eevil, what u have is a strong. Fertal earth, while others have resources needed around the world. Wwhy is it so hard? Talk with your God this what was envisioned & expected! Show who we really are, the children of God. Before its to late!

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.
