  2. Be mindful, be compassionate

    Comment

    When life is good do not take it for granted as it will pass. Be mindful,
    be compassionate and nurture the circumstances that find you in this good
    time so it will last longer. When life falls apart always remember that this too
    will pass. Life will have its unexpected turns. ~Ajahn Brahm

  3. If we want to go further

    Comment

    Careful patience is the fastest way…

    If we want to go further, then instead of being silently aware of whatever comes
    into the mind, we choose silent present-moment awareness of just one thing.
    ~Ajahn Brahm

  4. Understand this world

    Comment

    How many times have you tried to solve “the problem”? you’ll be trying to solve
    it not just until you die but for many more lifetimes. Instead, understand that this world
    is just the play of the senses. It’s the five khandhas doing their thing; it has nothing to do
    with you. It’s just people being people, the world being the world. ~Ajahn Brahm

    Comment

    If cats have their owners’ love and attention and lots to do inside, they won’t miss the great outdoors, which, after close examination, isn’t so great for cats after all. Source: The Humane Society of the United States

  10. A little difference

    Comment

    A little difference between ‘promises’ and ‘memories’…

    Memories…they break us.

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.
