1. Compassionate action

    Comment

    Compassionate action starts with seeing yourself when you start to make yourself right and when you start to make yourself wrong. At that point you could just contemplate the fact that there is a larger alternative to either of those, a more tender, shaky kind of place where you could live. ~Pema Chödrön

  6. If you hold yourself dear

    That is what the Blessed One said. Having said that, the One Well-Gone, the Teacher, said further:

    If you hold yourself dear
    then don’t fetter yourself
    with evil,
    for happiness isn’t easily gained
    by one who commits
    a wrong-doing.

    When seized by the End-maker
    as you abandon the human state,
    what’s truly your own?
    What do you take along when you go?
    What follows behind you
    like a shadow
    that never leaves?

    Both the merit & evil
    that you as a mortal
    perform here:
    that’s what’s truly your own,
    what you take along when you go;
    that’s what follows behind you
    like a shadow
    that never leaves.

    So do what is admirable,
    as an accumulation
    for the future life.
    Deeds of merit are the support for beings
    when they arise
    in the other world.

    “Piya Sutta: Dear” (SN 3.4), translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

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...
