Be more concerned with your character than your reputation

April 28, 2013

Happiness is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you turn your attention to other things,
It comes and sits softly on your shoulder.

~Henry David Thoreau

    No problem +Ashima Dogra If that makes you happy, I will respond to your comments as much as possible okay. Try to be happy as much as you can. That way you can always stay young and beautiful and healthy too. My great master was 90 something years old and he smiled till his last day in the hospital bed. A smile from the compassionate heart is very powerful. Then he meditated and died peacefully.

    +Rob Robinson Just human rights related. My weekend schedule is so unpredictable. I try to squeeze things into my schedule as much as possible while I'm still breathing. I don't want to say 'no' to anyone. Our people need help. So I need to lend them some help whenever I can. Not much time for me to rest, until the end of November.

    Thank you so much +Rob Robinson My service is always a one way. I never need anything in return. I already have everything. I try not to travel much between the last week of November till the last week of January because of the weather. The road condition is not safe to drive too far those two months. I still travel, but lesser than now.

    I believe its eternal and from within.. Just life to find God we have to find our true self in the same way we need to search the true happiness from within. Our true deeds with good morals will help us to get the true knowledge bringing everlasting and eternal happiness. I admire that beautiful smile. I thank the person whose smile you inherit, m/s. Sos.

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...
