1. When you are born a lotus flower

    Comment February 12, 2015

    To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don’t try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

    ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  2. Don’t be afraid

    Comment February 12, 2015

    Don’t be afraid of your fears. They’re not there to scare you.
    They’re there to let you know that something is worth it.

    ― C. JoyBell C.

  3. If you want to let go of something

    Comment February 12, 2015

    If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never
    hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved
    upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want
    to forget, you cannot hate. ― C. JoyBell C.

  4. Never give up

    Comment February 12, 2015

    Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve.
    Find another way. And don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray
    when the sun shines. – Leroy Satchel Paige

  6. Compassion is what makes our lives meaningful

    Comment February 11, 2015

    One thing we can do is, we can practice forgiveness, and underlying forgiveness is the ability to distinguish between the individual and the act. Spirituality is like a medicine. To heal the illness, it is not sufficient to look at the medicine and talk about it. You have to ingest it.

    When you encounter some problems, if you point your finger at yourself and not at others, this gives you control over yourself and calmness in a situation, where otherwise self-control becomes problematic.  ~Dalai Lama

  7. Faith and Love

    Comment February 10, 2015

    Faith brings two people together and it is loves job to keep them
    together. If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love,
    you have to find the courage to live it. ~Author Unknown

  8. Words and mood…

    Comment February 10, 2015

    Don’t mix bad words with your bad mood. You’ll have many opportunities 
    to change a mood, but you’ll never get the opportunity to replace 
    the words you spoke. ~Nishan Panwar

  9. No substitute for best friend

    Comment February 10, 2015

    There is no substitute for best friend. Even if the whole world has let you down your best friend will step in to offer a helping hand. Best friend is one mind in two bodies. A best find will always be by your side and they are similar to stars, that is, even if you do not see them always, you know they are always there. Roosevelt says, “Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only best friends will leave foot prints in your heart”

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.
