Use your Heart

February 18, 2014

Use your heart. Understand. Learn to see things
in the now, not as they were or will be, or as they might or
should be, but as they are, right now, in this moment. The
heart sees the now; the mind only sees the next. If you can’t
learn to see the now, you’ll never see what’s truly there, and
then where will you be?
“Trapped”
“Precisely. But if you take care of the now, the future will
work out as it should.” 
― E.J. Patten, Return to Exile

    so true my friend. Life is now. Right now. Happening to you even as you are reading this…there is no need to escape, infact no escape from life or death at all. All that can be done is to be aware and experience life in its paradoxity. And no need to convey your experience to others either because all that you say will be misinterpreted. Words have their own meaning given to them by the world, each word intepreted by individual experience. Perceptions. True silence is the only thing with value to you and others. Enjoy every moment good or bad. But then whats good and bad?, perception again. Loved your play of your words, so intricate to evoke emotions.

    Funny that I thought the heart pumps blood and such things as the eyes actually could see things. I didn't realise my heart was so clever, scores how much I really know. I wonder how we could prove such things?
    Does my heart have a set of eyes that I am unable to see? It sounds good, I will give you that, but please show me a heart with eyes.

    Let God hold your heart,you will not be disappointed.When we make an IDOL of a human being,we risk a life of torment.Fall deeply in LOVE to the one that carried the CROSS for you.I am led to speak for you.Father,in Jesus name,let the peace of your Son,reign in to the mind and heart of my sister Jendhamuni today.Lord, bless her,and lead her to the right path,keep from the evil one,put a protection edge around her,and that she may become,all that you created her to be.I come in to agreement with my brothers and sisters,in this prayer .Gob bless you,sister Jendhamuni.

Live & Die for Buddhism

Me & Grandma

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
