When someone

When someone has been mean to you, why would you want to be good to them? You wouldn't want to. That's what makes it hard. You do it anyway. Being good is hard. Much harder than being bad. ~Jeanne DuPrau

    What is the reward for being good? I am in that kind of relationship and still have nothing.

    Every meeting has a inner lesson about you. There are no chance meetings. When you forgive someone else you are forgiving your true Self.

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.
