A water pot is filled by drops of water

Little by little a person becomes evil, as a water pot is filled by drops of water…
Little by little a person becomes good, as a water pot is filled by drops of water.
~ Buddha, from The Dhammapada

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today.
