    +Reg Dawn I felt so touched by this story. How many parents could do this to those who killed their loved ones. Big hugs, sister.

    Forgiveness at its best. The Mother with Golden Heart realised that her teen age daughter was killed accidentally, not intentionally and the accused pleaded guilty. So, by forgiving her daughter's accidental killer she freed herself from the anguish she was carrying since 2012. And by embracing the killer in her arms, she demonstrated the courage that raised her one level above.

    Your arms were always open when I needed a hug.
    Your heart understood when I needed a friend
    Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson
    Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly

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.
