“Sariputra, if there are people who have already made the vow, who now make the vow, or who are about to make the vow, ‘I desire to be born in Amitabha’s country,’ these people, whether born in the past, now being born, or to be born in the future, all will irreversibly attain to anuttarasamyaksambodhi. Therefore, Sariputra, all good men and good women, if they are among those who have faith, should make the vow, ‘I will be born in that country.’”

~ Amitabha Sutra

When I obtain the Buddhahood, any being of the boundless and inconceivable Buddha-worlds of the ten quarters whose body if be touched by the rays of my splendour should not make his body and mind gentle and peaceful, in such a state that he is far more sublime than the gods and men, then may I not attain the enlightenment.

Some Kind Words Shared by 'Hue Am I'

'Hue Am I' said:

~ The Touch ~

Today, Friday. Squeezing into the crowded lift up my apartment. Managed to get inside. There's this pretty little girl in a ponytail standing behind me on my right, at most 6 years old.

I was standing soooo close to the door. (but i knew the door will not hit me when it closes) But just as the door was about to close, i felt a warm tug on my right arm from behind...

Turning around.. I saw this pretty 6 year old smiling face... with her tiny palm barely wide enough to grab the whole of my forearm... trying to pull me in.. afraid the door will hit me..

It was a total meltdown.. a surge of warmth welling fast inside me.. i smiled back at her.. it really hit me right in the heart after a really taxing day of work.... and she replied with a shy cheeky smile with her arm still clinging to mine..

I haven's felt such an innocent.. unconditional display of... (whatever you call it) in a long while... i call it The Touch.And here is the rest of it.


This is a nice contribution, I want to share my reflections and experiences too!
