1. My Sleeping Angel

    42

    My sleeping angel
    I opened my eyes and saw an angel
    I took his hand and he lead me to paradise
    we sat and our fate was revealed
    I saw destiny within his smile
    happiness was in his heart
    and this dream was inside my head
    I awoke just as I asleep
    but now with you inside my life
    and your love inside my soul

  2. Good Night World

    68

    Day is dying in the west,
    time has gone we love the best
    Now no more is left to say, but,
    thank you for a lovely day
    What delights we had, to make us glad
    You made me laugh, you touched my heart
    While angels keep, our dreams so sweet
    All will be well ’til next we meet

    ~Soft Whispers from Derry’s Heart Poems

  3. Bridge of Love

    67

    God is building
    A Bridge of Love
    That spans across the Sea

    He is broken down
    The middle wall
    And is Birthing unity

    The Bridge is anchored
    On the rock
    It’s supported by pillars of Prayer

    And those who are called
    To cross over it
    Need only love and care

    Use me, Lord
    Use me!

  4. Colored Rainbows

    471

    Dare to dream of coloured rainbows
    and fine “castles in the air” –
    and a Sun that shines so brightly
    making cloudy days seem rare!

    When you aim to find a purpose
    then your life becomes worthwhile.
    You will dazzle those about you –
    when you show your own true style!

    Our dreams are not for keeping –
    simply borrowed for a while;
    to console us in adversity
    and teach us how to smile!

    Dream again of coloured rainbows
    and of bluebirds flying high.
    You will overcome the obstacles
    once you decide to try!

    ~by Roslyn (Ros) Mansell

  5. For all the Dreamers

    355

    I sleep in the clouds, dream in the sky,
    I’ll keep dreaming as life passes me by,
    I think my dreams keep me sane,
    I dream of happiness, a life without pain,
    some people say I’m stuck in this place,
    and I’ll never go anywhere,
    but in my dreams I’ve already been there,
    I know some day I’ll have to wake up,
    but I feel the real world is more like a nightmare,
    I’m safe in my closed eye wonderland,
    this poem goes to all the dreamers that understand,
    no matter what they say…
    keep your dreams but don’t dream your life away.

  6. Dahlia Flower

    30

    Flowers don’t worry about
    how they’re going to bloom.
    They just open up and turn
    toward the light and that
    makes them beautiful.

  7. Everyone needs a prayer

    60

    Everyone needs a friend,
    everyone needs a love,
    everyone needs a wish,
    everyone needs a prayer.
    When you need it,
    look up at the night,
    and see the stars.
    And just pray to them.
    We’re all here,
    some of us are listening.
    And sometimes,
    the biggest prayer you need,
    is there for you,
    but you need to see it for yourself.

    ~Alex Clark

     

  8. Calm mind brings inner strength

    Comment

    Too much self-centered attitude, you see, brings, you see, isolation. Result: loneliness, fear, anger. The extreme self-centered attitude is the source of suffering. World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity. ~Dalai Lama

  9. An Enchanted Garden

    394

    How true it is that,
    if we are cheerful and contented,
    all nature smiles,
    the air seems more balmy,
    the sky clearer,
    the earth has a brighter green…
    the flowers are more fragrant…
    and the sun, moon, and stars
    all appear more beautiful,
    and seem to rejoice with us.

    ~Orison Swett Marden

     

  10. It’s Not Too Late

    204

    It’s not too late… the angel said.
    Even though the world’s a mess…
    Even though you’re not as young…
    Even though you’ve made mistakes and have been afraid
    It’s not too late…
    And then I saw the world through the angels’ eyes…
    I saw the colors I could paint
    The bridges I could build
    The lives that I could touch
    The dreams that could still come true
    And it became very clear to me…
    That it’s not too late.

    ~Written by Ron Atchison

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

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...
