  3. Truth is tough

    Comment

    Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day likea football, and it will be round and full at evening. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

  6. Autumn Wind

    When autumn wind goes running
    It does some magic things.
    It gives the shadows dancing shoes,
    It gives the bright leaves wings –
    When autumn wind goes running.

    It curls the bonfire’s tail of smoke
    And shares a little whispered joke
    With cornstalks who delight to prattle,
    It turns a seed pod into a rattle –
    When autumn wind goes running.

    October’s the month
    When the smallest breeze
    Gives us a shower
    Of autumn leaves.
    Bonfires and pumpkins,
    Leaves sailing down –
    October is red
    And golden and brown.

    Poem title: October

  9. Anyone who proposes to do good

    Comment

    Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly, even if they roll a few stones upon it. ~Albert Schweitzer

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.
