1. I could still see you…

    Comment

    I wish my eyes could
    Speak what my heart
    Feels for you,
    Cause
    My lips can lie on what
    Is true, but
    My eyes couldn’t
    Cause
    Even if I close them
    I could still see you.

  2. Cats have free-floating clavicle bones

    Comment

    A cat has five toes on his front paws, and four on the back, unless he’s a polydactyl. Your cat recognizes your voice but just acts too cool to care (probably because they are). Cats have free-floating clavicle bones that attach their shoulders to their forelimbs, which allows them to squeeze through very small spaces. Cats have inferior daytime sight, but during the night they need seven times less light than humans to see. Source: BuzzFeed

  3. Cats often imitate a human baby

    Comment

    Cats can change their meow to manipulate a human. They often imitate a human baby when they need food, for example. Hearing is the strongest of cat’s senses: They can hear sounds as high as 64 kHz — compared with humans, who can hear only as high as 20 kHz. Cats can move their ears 180 degrees. They can also move their ears separately. Source: BuzzFeed

  4. The best medicine in the world

    Comment

    Laughter, some said it’s the best medicine in the world. With smiles and laughter, your days will become lighter, more joyous and more bearable even on those hay-wired days. Your smiling face looks much more appealing and beautiful too. Give away your smiles freely and in abundance. Spread your laughter around as it’s contagious.

  5. My only true belongings…

    Comment

    Our true home is not in the past. Our true home is not in the future. Our true home is in the here and the now. Life is available only in the here and the now, and it is our true home. Mindfulness is the energy that helps us recognize the conditions of happiness that are already present in our lives. You don’t have to wait ten years to experience this happiness. It is present in every moment of your daily life. There are those of us who are alive but don’t know it. But when you breathe in, and you are aware of your in-breath, you touch the miracle of being alive. That is why mindfulness is a source of happiness and joy.

    My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.

    ~Thich Nhat Hanh

    Before going to sleep every night, forgive everyone and sleep with a clean heart. Be thankful for today’s little moments, because they are tomorrow’s precious memories. Sweet dream. ~SantaBanta

  7. A cat’s brain is 90% similar to a human’s

    Comment

    Cats have a longer-term memory than dogs, especially when they learn by actually doing rather than simply seeing. A cat’s brain is 90% similar to a human’s — more similar than to a dog’s. Cats and humans have nearly identical sections of the brain that control emotion. Source: BuzzFeed

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.

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...
