1. Two types of seeds

    Comment

    There are two types of seeds in the mind: those that create anger, fear, frustration, jealousy, hatred and those that create love, compassion, equanimity and joy. Spirituality is germination and sprouting of the second group and transforming the first group. ~Amit Ray

  2. The way I see it…

    Comment

    The way I see it, our natural human instinct is to fight or flee that which we perceive to be dangerous. Although this mechanism evolved to protect us, it serves as the single greatest limiting process to our growth. To put this process in perspective and not let it rule my life, I
    expect the unexpected;
    make the unfamiliar familiar;
    make the unknown known;
    make the uncomfortable comfortable;
    believe the unbelievable.

    ~Charles F. Glassman

  3. Mistakes and failures

    Comment

    Promise yourself today to forget the mistakes and failures of the past. Concentrate on the present and move on to greater achievements of the future. ~Anurag Prakash Ray

  4. Curious Cockatiel

    Comment

    In the wild, you’ll see immense flocks of cockatiels circling the sky in search of large bodies of water where they can rest, breed, and escape from the Australian heat. Cockatiels are very sociable birds and will get depressed if they are left alone for long periods of time. They may hit their heads against cages, pull their feathers, refuse to eat, or become angry. It’s best to get a pair of cockatiels if you know you’ll be out of your house for long periods of time. Source: Cockatiels

  5. For a better future

    Comment

    Pain makes you stronger, tears make you braver, and heartbreak makes you wiser. So thank the past for a better future. ~Orebela Gbenga

  6. Because of your smile

    Comment

    Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful. We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don’t allow our bodies to heal, and we don’t allow our minds and hearts to heal. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  7. You take away their power

    Comment

    Forgiveness is a sign of letting go and when you forgive someone that hurts you, you take away their power. ~London Mond

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.
