1. You didn’t fall apart…

    Comment

    Every day holds the possibility of a miracle. ~ Elizabeth David
    One small crack does not mean that you are broken,
    it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.
    ~ Linda Poindexter

    Comment

    Stroking & petting your cat reminds them of when their mom use to groom
    them….It also helps “mingle” our scents. Source: Catgreetings

     

  3. True love is a sacred flame

    Comment

    Be truthful, gentle and fearless. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

    True love is a sacred flame
    That burns eternally,
    And none can dim its special glow
    Or change its destiny.
    True love speaks in tender tones
    And hears with gentle ear,
    True love gives with open heart
    And true love conquers fear.
    True love makes no harsh demands
    It neither rules nor binds,
    And true love holds with gentle hands
    The hearts that it entwines.

  4. To get up each morning

    Comment

    To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy…is to set our own
    conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances
    instead of being conditioned by them. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

  5. Forcing a smile

    Comment

    No matter how much madder it may make you, get out of bed forcing a smile. You may not smile because you are cheerful; but if you will force yourself to smile, you’ll end up laughing. You will be cheerful because you smile. Repeated experiments prove that when man assumes the facial expressions of a given mental mood — any given mood — then that mental mood itself will follow. ~Kenneth Goode

  6. Happy or miserable

    Comment

    We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount
    of work is the same. ~Carlos Castaneda

  7. Pure and guiltless man

    Comment

    Like fine dust thrown against the wind, evil falls back upon that fool who
    offends an inoffensive, pure and guiltless man. ~Buddha, The Dhammapada

  8. Send faith to answer

    Comment

    When fear knocks on your door, send faith to answer.
    Just because something isn’t happening for you right now,
    doesn’t mean that it will never happen. ~Santabanta sms

  9. Nobody understands

    Comment

    A good relationship is like Taj Mahal. Everybody simply wonders
    how Beautiful it is; But nobody understands how difficult it was to build.

    ~Santabanta sms

  10. Kitten is too sleepy to get up

    Comment

    One of the most accurate barometers of a cat’s mood is its tail. When held high, it communicates confidence. Curled around another cat’s tail or human legs, it signals friendliness. And tucked below or between the legs, it signals insecurity or anxiousness. The upright bottle-brush tail is an unequivocal sign that your cat is feeling threatened. And when combined with the arched back, upright hair along the spine, and unsheathed claws, the stance is a dead giveaway that you should back off, Sueda says. Source: WebMD

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.

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...
