The word 'love'

June 30, 2014

Love is an active force. Every act of the loving one is done with the stainless mind to help, to succor, to cheer, to make the paths of others easier, smoother and more adapted to the conquest of sorrow, the winning of the highest bliss. 

The way to develop love is through thinking out the evils of hate, and the advantages of non-hate; through thinking out according to actuality, according to karma, that really there is none to hate, that hate is a foolish way of feeling which breeds more and more darkness, that obstructs right understanding. Hate restricts; love release. Hatred strangles; love enfranchises. Hatred brings remorse; love brings peace. Hatred agitates; love quietens, stills, calms. Hatred divides; love unites. Hatred hardens; love softens. Hatred hinders; love helps. And thus through a correct study and appreciation of the effects of hatred and the benefits of love, should one develop love.

    Very True. You can conquer the world by love. You cannot conquer even yourself by hatred. Such is the strength of love.

    True, but against Boko Haram or any other extremists islamitic group who are fighting and killing to conquer the world, it won't do. So long as there exist men who do not know love but the love for power, blood, evil and destruction, the power of love won't stand a change only in the google+/social media bubble.

    + I am Christian and my lord taught to love.And I believe in love towards other human beings.But sometimes I cannot help myself from hating .How can I love someone like Baku Haram who yesterday burnt churches and attacked people worshiping in a church killing 12 persons while shouting Allah wa Akbar.I feel hatred towards this horrible man and his followers and I hope God will never forgive them.

    Love, as a fruit of the Holy Spirit of God that lives in us, thru the sacrifice of the Son of God to pay for our sins and whom we choose to be our only Savior and Lord, God being God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit who is One, is the most powerful, transforming element in the world to a dark, hurting world,

    God is love expressed grandly and most perfectly in "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him, shall not parish, but shall have eternal life.  For God did not come into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, thru Him might me saved.

Live & Die for Buddhism

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.
