1. When things aren’t going right…

    Comment

    Some things are not meant to be kept forever… You know you have to stop  and let go when things aren’t going right, and everything you do is unappreciated. Remember what batman said? ‘it is wiser to be alone but happy… than with somebody who does nothing while you’re doing everything’ … ~Noemie

  2. Seek for silence

    Comment

    When things get awfully tiring, seek for silence, most of the time the loudest lessons are learned at the most quiet corners of our hearts. ~Kuya Rene

  3. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness

    Comment

    Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on the pain in through resentment… Your past is past! Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it, and then let it go. ~Mam Julie

  4. Some lessons…

    Comment

    Some lessons are best learned through pain. Sometimes, our visions clear only after our eyes are washed with tears. Sometimes, we have to be broken so we can be whole again. Remember: If God made the day to be perfect, He wouldn’t have invented tomorrow. ~Kirvy

  5. If you learn something…

    Comment

    If you learn something that changes you, you’ve made progress. If you learn something that changes others, you’ve helped change the world. ~Lanie

  6. Don’t think of saying any unkind word

    Comment

    Today… don’t think of saying any unkind word. Think of the people who can’t speak. Don’t complain about the food you eat, some have nothing. Don’t complain about life, many die young. When you’re tired of your job, think of the jobless, the disabled and those who wish they had yours. When sad thoughts seem to put you down, paint a smile on your face that you’re still around. Life is a gift. Live it well. ~Mam Cell

     

  7. Have a long walk with someone

    Comment

    Life is full of uncertainties; we’ll never know when our time on earth is up until it’s over. So take many pics, laugh much… Take time to look up at the stars. Have a long walk with someone…Feel the cold wind… Smile a lot and love like you’ve never been hurt. Every 60 seconds you miss is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back. ~Terry

     

     

  8. Difference between apple cider and apple juice

    Comment

    There are a few states that do spell out a distinct difference between apple cider and juice. For example, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources specifies that “Fresh cider is raw apple juice that has not undergone a filtration process to remove coarse particles of pulp or sediment …. Apple juice is juice that has been filtered to remove solids and pasteurized so that it will stay fresh longer.”

    Cider from these states is probably what most of us picture: an opaque, highly perishable apple drink available at farm stands and markets in the fall. It’s juice, but unfiltered and sometimes unpasteurized. In unpasteurized apple cider, naturally occurring yeasts can cause fermentation, making the drink slightly fizzy and alcoholic over time. Apple juice in these states, on the other hand, is much more clear and pasteurized.  Source: The Kitchn | Link source

     

     

  9. Another beautiful day

    Comment

    I’m thankful for waking up to another beautiful day. If you’re living and breathing, then there’s nothing to be depressed about. I will sleep deeply and wake up full of energy. Life is not lived in the past, neither is it lived wandering in future. Life is for today, and it is today. ~Unknown

  10. Tomato ‘Margherita’

    Comment

    The best saladette tomato for cooking, Tomato Margherita offers plentiful tomatoes 5 to 6 inches long, thin-skinned and packed with meaty flavor. The plant is quite disease-resistant, for heavy yields all at once — ideal for canning and juicing. Delicious fresh but indescribably good when roasted, Margherita is made for cooking. The fruit ripens uniformly and is quite attractive, with dark red color and vitamin-packed flesh.

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...
