  4. A hindrance to faith

    Comment September 1, 2016

    Lying is a hindrance to faith;
    Laziness, to progress
    Animosity, to mindfulness
    Hatred, to deep concentration and
    Resentment, to wisdom.

    ~Venerable Wuling, Path to Peace

  5. Talking Leaves

    67 September 1, 2016

    Happiness… is always Free!
    Doesn’t cost you a dime, not even one penny.
    Open your heart… look closely…
    You will see, Happiness in your eyes.

    Look at those falling leaves!
    Do you feel Peace, in your heart?
    Leaves… of course, are free of charge,
    Rich or Poor, can enjoy.

    Leaves are talking to you!
    Do you know, what they are saying?
    Flying closer and closer,
    Like messengers, from the Heaven.
    Delivering an important message,
    That will read, as follows:

    Life is too short,
    So be kind to one another.
    Learn to share your smile,
    Even with strangers.
    Cherish Life Today,
    For Tomorrow, May Never Come…

    Watching leaves is my favorite hobby.
    Some of you may think I’m crazy,
    But this is the reality of my life.
    I’m not a poet, just putting my thoughts together.

  6. Care and Kindness

    175 September 1, 2016

    Right from the moment of our birth, we are under the care and kindness of our parents, and then later on in our life when we are oppressed by sickness and become old, we are again dependent on the kindness of others. Since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other’s kindness, how can it be in the middle that we would neglect kindness towards others? ~Dalai Lama

  7. The one who needs the least

    Comment August 29, 2016

    “The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.” ~Arab Proverb

    “When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, ‘Oh yes – I already have everything that I really need.'” ~ Dalai Lama

    “Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” ~Lao Tzu

  8. Walk as if…

    107 August 28, 2016

    Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet. ~Thich Nhat Hạnh

     

  9. Anxiety and Sorrow

    36 August 28, 2016

    When we walk like (we are rushing), we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth… Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet. ~Thich Nhat Hạnh

  10. Everyday

    161 August 28, 2016

    Everyday we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes. All is a miracle. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

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.
