Life is letting go

July 16, 2014

It’s letting go of expectation.
Letting go of fear.
Letting go of doubt.
Letting go of the hurts.
Letting go of the disappointments.
Letting go of the needs.
Letting go of the stories.
Letting go of the untruths.
Letting go of that time you did that thing you shouldn’t have done.
Letting go of feeling foolish, knowing you were just young. Unformed. Learning. Trying.
Letting go of the need to be perfect. Correct. Proper. 
Letting go of what’s expected of you, even if they’re your own expectations. Especially then.
Letting go of the voice in your head that tells you you are nothing.
Letting go of the hatred of your skin. It’s just flesh. Just bones. Just your transportation on earth.
Letting go of the need to control what happens.
Letting go of feeling bad because you’re not letting go enough.

I’m starting to get it now. I really am.

    But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. WHEN WE DOUBT THAT'S WHEN IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. 🙂 Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, IF thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

    If you let go too much?, you lose sight of who you are, so be careful. And keep your own Dignity and Pride perfect.

    Its so hard to do but I hear what you are saying its like saying don't cry for me because your only here for a short period of time so you need to do the things that you always wanted to do but now you have noone to do things with because now hes gone . So now what do you do but keep on breathing.

    when we let go everything , then the chamber of our heart is vacant and neat and clean and it  is the moment when HE enters into our life and we start a new journey by holding HIS hand and experience sheer bliss

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...
