1. Dog’s new friend

    Comment

    When a cat greets another cat or a person with slow, languid blinks, it’s communicating affection. Why? Because in the feline world, closing one’s eyes in the presence of another is the ultimate sign of trust. By blinking slowly at your cat, you are communicating that you are aware of its presence and pose no threat. So the next time your cat blinks at you, try returning the gesture. Source: WebMD

  2. Always have faith in trying

    Comment

    Cry and Try have only one letter difference in spellings
    but a lot in meaning. ‘Cry’ collapses our confidence;
    And ‘Try’ builds our confidence. Always have faith in trying!

  3. You must grow in patience

    Comment

    Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.
    For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you.
    So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs,
    and they will then be powerless to vex your mind. ~Leonardo da Vinci

  4. The devout go to heaven

    Comment

    Some are born in the womb; the wicked are born in hell; the devout go to heaven;
    the stainless pass into Nibbana.  ~Buddha, The Dhammapada

  5. Wisdom is not communicable

    Comment

    Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate
    always sounds foolish…. Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it,
    live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it. ~Hermann Hesse

  6. Doer of good and evil-doer

    Comment

    It may be ill with the doer of good as long as the good ripens not.
    But when it does ripen, then the doer of good sees (the pleasant results of)
    his good deeds. It may be well with the evil-doer as long as the evil ripens not.
    But when it does ripen, then the evil-doer sees (the painful results of) his evil deeds.

    ~Buddha, The Dhammapada

  7. Just look and just listen

    Comment

    Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed.
    Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you.
    Let stillness direct your words and actions. ~Eckhart Tolle

  8. To a wise man

    Comment

    An ignorant man is always able to say yes or no immediately to any proposition.
    To a wise man, comparatively few things can be propounded which do not require
    a response with qualifications, with discrimination, with proportion. ~Horace Mann

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...
