1. Love birds

    Comment

    Most parrots are social birds that live in groups called flocks. African grey parrots live in flocks with as many as 20 to 30 birds. Many species are monogamous and spend their lives with only one mate. The mates work together to raise their young. Parrots throughout the flock communicate with one another by squawking and moving their tail feathers. Some parrots, like the kakapo, are nocturnal. They sleep during the day and search for food at night. Source: Livescience

  3. Just for kitty

    Comment

    There are about 45 species of crow worldwide known by a variety of names, including treepies, corbies, nutcrackers, bushpies, choughs, and the pica pica. Mating crows will often remain together for years and some until parted by death. Most of the offspring will leave the nest after a couple months never to return. Some, on the other hand, remain, assisting in co-operative breeding. Source: avesnoir

  4. Have faith

    Comment

    Accept what is, let go of what was and have faith in what will be.
    Some people will appreciate you and some will criticize you.
    In both the cases, you are the beneficiary. One will motivate you,
    while the other will improve you. ~SantaBanta

  7. Kitty and the phone

    Comment

    When cats saw the obstacle and were distracted before they had a chance to step over it with their forelegs, they didn’t remember the obstacle, indicating their visual memory is not so great. “We’ve found that the long-lasting memory for guiding hind legs over an obstacle requires stepping of the forelegs over the obstacle,” researcher Keir Pearson of the University of Alberta in Canada said. “The main surprise was how short lasting the visual memory on its own was—just a few seconds when animals were stopped before their forelegs stepped over the obstacle.” Source: MentalFloss

  8. Strong person

    Comment

    The strong person is not the good wrestler. Rather, the strong person
    is the one who controls himself when he is angry. ~Anonymous

  9. Our eyes

    Comment

    Our eyes are placed in the front because it is more important
    to look ahead than to look back. ~SantaBanta

  10. Sometimes peace is better

    Comment

    Be selective with your battles. sometimes peace is better than being right. One can never start the next chapter of one’s life if one is always busy visiting the last one. Do not get upset with people or situations, both are powerless without your reactions. ~SanataBanta

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.
