3. True love and home grown tomatoes

    Comment September 3, 2017

    Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
    What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
    Only two things that money can’t buy
    That’s true love and home grown tomatoes.

    ~John Denver

     

  4. Life in Balance

    Comment September 3, 2017

    When we bring our concern for ourselves into harmony with our concern for others, our life comes in balance. When our life feels imbalanced and pointless, usually we notice that our relationships have also become unhealthy. By thinking carefully about how we orient ourselves toward others and toward ourselves, we can build and enjoy healthy relationships. We can learn to cultivate relationships that are warm and truly meaningful. ~ 17th Karmapa

  7. Love one another

    Love one another.  If we took those simple words to heart, we’d already be the Buddhas Jesus wanted us to be. ― Kathleen Dowling Singh

  8. Glorious element of Buddha’s character

    Comment September 2, 2017

    The most important and uniquely glorious element of Buddha’s character was that, he did not compel his pupils to be slaves either to his teachings or to himself, but like a conscientious human, demanded from his followers to accept his words not merely out of regard for him but after subjecting them to a thorough examination. And this is where Buddha stands out from the crowd of self-proclaimed prophets. ― Abhijit Naskar

    The words of the Buddha offer this truth: Hatred never ceases by hatred but by love alone is healed. ~ Jack Kornfield

  10. Lighten up

    Comment September 1, 2017

    Who knows what you will see, hear, or experience in these chaotic and turbulent times? Try to protect yourself from becoming too overwhelmed by pain and suffering. Lighten up! Don’t take things so seriously. With a broad and accommodating mind, you can keep a sense of perspective. ~ 17th Karmapa

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...
