    Making one person smile can change the world maybe not the whole world, but their world. ~Unknown

    I’ pray for ‘You’
    A day that you truly deserve,

    And a day as wonderful as you want. ~sms

     

  6. Asking yourself, What am I doing?

    Comment

    Asking yourself, What am I doing? will help you overcome the habit of wanting to complete things quickly. Smile to yourself and say, Washing this dish is the most important job in my life. When you ask, What am I doing?, reflect deeply on the question. If your thoughts are carrying you away, you need mindfulness to intervene. When you are really there, washing the dishes can be a deep and enjoyable experience. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  7. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone

    Comment

    Life is too short to start your day with broken pieces of yesterday, it will definitely destroy your wonderful today and ruin your great tomorrow. Life is too short to arugue and fight. Count your blessings. Value your friends and move on with your head held high and a smile for everyone. ~Unknown author

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.

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.
