Gautama Buddha

Gautama Buddha
Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not lead you to Nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
It is more important to prevent animal suffering, rather than sit to contemplate the evils of the universe praying in the company of priests.
Gautama Buddha
All beings are not only the parents in the past. They will become the Buddha in the future. If you free their lives, you are Buddha.
Gautama Buddha
There are these two kinds of gifts: a gift of material things & a gift of the Dhamma. Of the two, this is supreme: a gift of the Dhamma.
Gautama Buddha
