If you can't sleep

June 1, 2014

If you can't sleep, then get up
and do something instead
of lying there worrying.
It's the worry that gets you,
not the lack of sleep.

    You are right, it is the "dream of open eyes" which increases worries in our lives. Have a charming day ahead Jen.

    Yes it is all about worries. Solving the worry problems makes us sleep as babies again…but it is easy to say

    Rapid eye movement (REM) accompanies sleeplessness, visualization of anxiety, and worrying. Instead of tossing, and turning with insomnia all night, use the time constructively to create solutions and options available. Nothing is accomplished by losing sleep, and solving nothing.

    Oh, my. No wonder the dude got rich. All kidding aside, it is better to get up and do something. Might as well. Some of my best work was done in the 4th watch…

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.

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.
