Sadness and Fear

Emotional ties bring only sadness and fear. Avoid attachment in emotion and you avoid sadness and fear.  ~Buddha, from The Dhammapada

    Sadness is not so bad if you can detach yourself from it. It can even be deepening. Fear is much worse and difficult to deal with, though.

My Reflection

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

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.
