1. Excellent schoolmasters

    Comment

    Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than what we could learn from books. — John Lubbock

    Ducks – The Adorable and Friendly Birds. Have you ever watched ducks or fed them at a pond or lake? Then you know that ducks are adorable and almost friendly. If they see you with food, they’ll follow you or even peck at you! Ducks are found in every part of the world, except Antarctica. These water fowl are expert swimmers and divers. Their feathers are designed to keep them warm. Ducks can see well underwater. Ducks eat grain, seeds, nuts, fruit, insects, water plants and even small fish. Source: Easy Science for Kids

  6. The greatest work that kindness does to others

    11

    No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves. ~ Amelia Earhart

  7. The mind of compassion

    Comment

    The mind of compassion
    knows no bitterness
    no judgment
    no good no bad
    no right no wrong
    no you no me.

    Only the wish for all beings
    to be happy.

    ~Venerable Wuling

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.
