1. Be contented with the connection

    Comment

    Loving someone doesn’t mean you have to be together.
    Sometimes, you just have to be friends and be contented
    with the connection that you both have. ~Unknown

  3. Kitty on duty

    Comment

    Domestic cats love to play, this is especially true with kittens who love
    to chase toys and play fight. Play fighting among kittens may be a way
    for them to practice and learn skills for hunting and fighting.

  4. They have to go

    Comment

    If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you
    for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made,
    if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have
    to go. ~Steve Maraboli

  5. Engraved upon your heart

    Comment

    If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never
    hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved
    upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want
    to forget, you cannot hate. ~C. Joybell C.

  6. Cute and curious cat

    Comment

    Cats communicate by marking trees, fence posts,
    or furniture with their claws or their waste.
    These scent posts are meant to inform others
    of a cat’s home range. House cats employ
    a vocal repertoire that extends from a purr
    to a screech. Source: National Geographic

  7. Resentment

    Comment

    Hanging on to resentment is letting someone you despise
    live rent-free in your head. ~Ann Landers

  8. Very little is needed

    Comment

    Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.    Over-thinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. Keep yourself occupied. Keep your mind off things that don’t help you. Think positive. ~Unknown

  9. Unnecessarily thinking

    Comment

    Unnecessarily thinking and worrying only help
    you in making your life more complicated.

  10. Hurtful actions and reprisals

    Comment

    Hurtful actions and reprisals are different but closely related. Actions once done are finished with, there’s no need to answer with revenge and hostility. This is called “action” (kamma). “Reprisal” (vera) means to continue that action further with thoughts of “you did it to me so I’m going to get you back.” There’s no end to this. It brings about the continual seeking of revenge, and so hatred is never abandoned. As long as we behave like this the chain remains unbroken, there’s no end to it. No matter where we go, the feuding continues. ~Ajahn Chah

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.

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.

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...
