1. Moment to moment

    Comment

    A person who lives moment to moment, who goes on dying to the past, is never attached to anything. Attachment comes from the accumulated past. If you can be unattached to the past every moment, then you are always fresh, young, just born. You pulsate with life and that pulsation gives you immortality. You are immortal, only unaware of the fact. ~Osho   Link to Google+

  2. One’s life..

    Comment

    What you do not want others to do to you,
    do not do to others. ~Confucius

    One’s life has value so long as one attributes value
    to the life of others, by means of love, friendship,
    indignation and compassion. ~Simone de Beauvoir

  3. We have to embrace…

    Comment

    When you say something unkind, when you
    do something in retaliation, your anger increases.
    You make the other person suffer, and they try hard
    to say or do something back to make you suffer,
    and get relief from their suffering. That is
    how conflict escalates.

    Just like our organs, our anger is part of us.
    When we are angry, we have to go back to ourselves
    and take good care of our anger. We cannot say,
    ‘Go away, anger, I don’t want you.’ When you have
    a stomachache, you don’t say, ‘I don’t want you
    stomach, go away.’ No, you take care of it.
    In the same way, we have to embrace and
    take good care of our anger.

    ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  4. Wings to fly…

    Comment

    Your heart understood when I needed a friend.
    Your eyes were stern when I needed a lesson.
    Your love and strength has always guided me
    And given me wings to fly. ~sms4smile

    Animals can communicate quite well.  And they do. 
    And generally speaking, they are ignored.

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
