1. Kitty practices stretching

    Comment

    Cat are the kings and queens of stretches.

    Musculature of a cat is more flexible than a dog. The cat’s loose muscles, in combination with its backbone, are probably the main reason for the overall flexibility of the cat and cat balance. A cat can arch its back into an inverted “u” shape, curl up in a circle when taking a nap, or rotate one half of its spine almost 180 degrees relative to the other half when necessary.

  2. My heart melts

    Comment

    I’m addicted to the way I feel when I think of you.
    When you look at me, my heart melts.
    Your eyes smile and twinkle with love.

  3. Freedom from suffering

    Comment

    Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it. ~Ajahn Chah

  4. You know you really love someone

    Comment

    You know you really love someone when you can’t hate them for breaking your heart.
    People often say that:
    They were cheated in love, but they forget –
    One who cheats never loves;
    And one who loves never cheats.

  5. Someone who loves you the most

    Comment

    When you are happy you’ll search for the person you love most,
    but when you are sad, you’ll search for the person
    who loves you the most. ~Santabanta sms

  6. Blooms naturally in the hearts…

    Comment

    Happiness blooms naturally in the hearts of those who are inwardly free. It flows spontaneously,
    like a mountain spring after April showers, in minds that are contented with simple living.

    ~Paramhansa Yogananda

  7. Your struggles with the world

    Comment

    Do everything with a mind that lets go. Do not expect any praise or reward. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom. Your struggles with the world will have come to an end. ~Ajanh Chah

  8. Make the spiritual effort

    Comment

    If you do not choose to be happy, no one can make you happy. And if you choose to be happy, no one can make you unhappy. Even if life gave you at one time everything you wanted – wealth, power, friends — after awhile you would again become dissatisfied and need something more.  But there is one thing that can never become stale to you – joy itself. All things in future will improve if you make the spiritual effort now. ~Paramhansa Yogananda

  9. Turtle hits kitty

    Comment

    Turtles have been on the earth for more than 200 million years. They evolved before mammals, birds, crocodiles, snakes and even lizards. The earliest turtles had teeth and could not retract their heads, but other than this, modern turtles are very similar to their original ancestors. Several species of turtles can live to be over a hundred years of age including the American Box Turtle. Source: Pet Education

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.
