Buddha

Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, lived in northern India around the fifth century BC. By tradition he gave up a privileged life to pursue the question of suffering. The teachings attributed to him were transmitted orally for several generations before being written down, so his original words cannot be reliably separated from later layers.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

- Buddha

Drop by drop is the water pot filled.

- Buddha

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

- Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

- Buddha

Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.

- Buddha

You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.

- Buddha

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

- Buddha

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?

- Buddha

Radiate boundless love towards the entire world.

- Buddha
