    Knowledge is learning something everyday. Wisdom is letting go of something everyday. ~ Unknown

  2. Just relax

    Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand – relax. ~Osho

  3. Reflect upon your life

    Comment

    “Patience is the companion of wisdom.” ~Saint Augustine

    No true wisdom can ever be gained by rushing through life. What is required is the patience to stop every once in a while and to reflect upon your life

  4. When we come into the present

    1

    When we come into the present, we begin to feel the life around us again, but we also encounter whatever we have been avoiding. We must have the courage to face whatever is present – our pain, our desires, our grief, our loss, our secret hopes, our love – everything that moves us most deeply. ~Jack Kornfield

  5. Letting go is the path to freedom

    3

    One of the essential tasks for living a wise life is letting go. Letting go is the path to freedom. It is only by letting go of the hopes, the fears, the pain, the past, the stories that have a hold on us that we can quiet our mind and open our heart. ~ Jack Kornfield

     

  6. The wind cannot overturn a mountain

    Comment

    How easily the wind overturns a frail tree
    Seek happiness in the senses,
    Indulge in food and sleep,
    And you too will be uprooted.

    The wind cannot overturn a mountain.
    Temptation cannot touch the man
    Who is awake, strong and humble,
    Who masters himself and minds the law.

    ~ The Buddha – Dhammapada

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.

Problems we face today
