1. When hate is gone

    Comment June 19, 2017

    Most people discover that when hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with their own pain. ~ Jack Kornfield

  4. To give up all evil and to develop the good

    Comment June 15, 2017

    We say that to ‘give up all evil and to develop the good’ is the heart of the Buddha’s teaching. If we only make merit but have not stopped doing bad things, then we will never have a day of completion. It is like an overturned bowl which is left outside in the rain. Even if the water is falling right on it, it only touches the outside and not the inside. In this way the bowl will never get full. ~Ajahn Chah

     

  7. As we learn to bow

    Comment June 13, 2017

    To bow to the fact of our life’s sorrows and betrayals is to accept them; and from this deep gesture we discover that all life is workable. As we learn to bow, we discover that the heart holds more freedom and compassion than we could imagine. ~Jack Kornfield

  8. As we willingly enter each place of fear

    Comment June 13, 2017

    As we willingly enter each place of fear, each place of deficiency and insecurity in ourselves, we will discover that its walls are made of untruths, of old images of ourselves, of ancient fears, of false ideas of what is pure and what is not. ~Jack Kornfield

  9. Look at ourselves over and over again

    Comment June 13, 2017

    We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love, to discover what has kept our hearts closed, and what it means to allow our hearts to open. ~Jack Kornfield

  10. You hold in your hand an invitation

    Comment June 13, 2017

    You hold in your hand an invitation: to remember the transforming power of forgiveness and loving kindness. To remember that no matter where you are and what you face, within your heart peace is possible. ~Jack Kornfield

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.
