1. Lovebird drinking water alone

    Comment

    Lovebirds normally don’t talk. Although they are a type of parrot, and they do have the ability to mimic human speech, Lovebirds are not among those species that most would consider to be talking birds. This is because they very rarely decide to speak, and if they do choose to mimic a sound, more often than not they repeat simple noises such as whistles or household sounds such as doorbells and microwaves. It is not known why some Lovebirds are more prone to mimicking speech than others, but it is widely believed that those who do learn to talk are taught from a very young age.

  2. Sunrise paints the sky

    Sunrise paints the sky with pinks and the sunset with peaches. Cool to warm. So is the progression from childhood to old age. ~Vera Nazarian

  3. Kittie hiding

    Comment

    Landing on all fours is something typical to cats thanks to the help of their eyes and special balance organs in their inner ear. These tools help them straighten themselves in the air and land upright on the ground. Source: AnimalPlanet

    I prefer to live in that world where life is simple yet peaceful; a world that is not just for and about money. A world where every living thing around me is True. ~Ces Peta

  6. Happiness Found Me Alone

    Comment

    Happiness found me alone one day and took me by the hand.
    He showed me how the sun gave out its warmth across the land.
    Sadness found me content and smiling upward at the sun.
    He talked of droughts and blindness and what burning rays had done.

    Happiness found me alone again and pointed to the sky.
    He showed me how the storms created rainbows way up high.
    Sadness found me intrigued and took me to the rainbow’s end.
    He showed me how it disappeared to ne’er return again.

    Happiness found me alone and taught me how to sing a song.
    He sang a dozen melodies as I chirped right along.
    Sadness found me singing out and covered up his ears.
    He said the noise was deafening, and wished he couldn’t hear.

    Happiness found me alone and gave me seven coins of gold.
    He showed me many fancy things that merchants often sold.
    Sadness found me admiring the pretty things I’d bought.
    He pointed out my empty purse and money I had not.

    Happiness found me alone and helped me talk to someone new.
    He called the boy my friend and said that I was his friend too.
    Sadness found me together with my kind, attentive friend.
    He whispered of betrayal and how broken hearts don’t mend.

    Happiness found me alone and held me tight in his embrace.
    He whispered kindness in my ear and kissed me on the face.
    Sadness found me with Happiness but before he spoke at all,
    I told him he’d have better luck at talking to the wall.

  7. It’s like breathing

    Comment

    It’s like breathing—once you quit, your flame dies letting total darkness
    extinguish every last gasp of hope. You can’t do that. You must continue
    taking in even the shallowest of breaths, continue putting forth even
    the smallest of efforts to sustain your dreams. Don’t ever,
    ever, ever give up. ~Richelle E. Goodrich

  8. How far you can go

    Comment

    Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember everything
    you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome.

  9. Like a small lamp

    Comment

    God’s guidance is like a small lamp in a dark forest…
    Doesn’t show everything at once… But gives enough
    light for the next step to be safe. ~Unknown

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...
