1. Nature of the river

    Comment August 20, 2015

    One man watches a river flow by. If he does not wish it to flow, to change ceaselessly in accord with its nature, he will suffer great pain. Another man understands that nature of the river is to change constantly, regardless of his likes and dislikes, and therefore he does not suffer. To know existence as this flow, empty of lasting pleasure, void of self, is to find that which is stable and free of suffering, to find true peace in the world. ~Ajahn Chah

  2. That special someone

    Comment August 19, 2015

    Happiness is meeting that special someone that you can share your world with by making her laugh, acting silly showing her compassion at her most vulnerable times and just being there anytime she needs support. On the other hand you must also let her into your world as well by showing her your vulnerability of being a man who lives and breathes and makes mistake and not a superman she dreams. Only then can you co-exist together and find true happiness. ~Unknown

  3. Dogs love

    Comment August 19, 2015

    A dogs’ first sense to develop is touch. A dog’s third eyelid (yes, it has THREE) is a protective lid called a “haw” which keeps moisture in its eyes. For running purposes, the shoulder blades on dogs are not attached to the rest of the skeleton. Source: Animal Planet

  4. Sacredness in tears…

    Comment August 19, 2015

    There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love.  ~Unknown

  5. A soul you can connect

    Comment August 19, 2015

    There is nothing better on this earth, than a soul you can connect with on every level.

  7. The power of love

    Comment August 19, 2015

    When you deeply understand the power of love and forgiveness, you realize how small you have probably been and you may feel embarrassed. Don’t ever get stuck. Life is like school. You can either graduate or remain in the same class forever.  ~Dimitrios I Petropoulos

  9. Difficult times

    Comment August 19, 2015

    You may not understand why you are going through difficult times, but don’t try to figure it out. Keep trusting in God. He knows how to bless you in unexpected ways. ~Vikas Runwal

  10. Happy puppy

    Comment August 19, 2015

    At age one, dogs have the same level of physical development that humans have at age 15. Dog body odor is often called “Frito Feet,” referring to bacteria collected on dogs’ paws that often smell like the popular salty snack. A typical dog has a mouthful of 42 permanent teeth, while the average human has 32. Source: Animal Planet

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.
