SAYINGS OF HE BUDDHA
T
The Highest Gift
The gift of Truth excels all other gifts.
Accept Truth
If you find truth in any religion, accept that truth!
See The Buddha
One who sees my teachings sees me.
Serve The Buddha
One who serves the sick serves me.
The External Law
In this world hatred can never be appeased by
hatred. Hatred can only be appeased by love. This is
the eternal law.

T
World Within You
In this very one fathom long body along with
perception and thoughts, I proclaim the world, the
origin of the world, the cessation of the world, and
the path leading to the end of the world.
Mind Is The Forerunner
By mind the world is led, by the mind the world is
drawn. And all men own the sovereignity of mind.
Two Different Paths
One is the road that leads to worldly gain, one leads
to deathlessness – Eternal Bliss.
Everything Is Impermanent
All conditioned things are impermanent. When one
see this in Wisdom, then one becomes dispassionate
towards the painful.
3
Ignorance
It is because you and I do not understand and
comprehend the four noble truths that we have to
run this long and weary round of existence-
Samsara.
Lucky Day
Fools wait for a lucky day, but everyday is a lucky
day for an industrious man.
Worldly Ties
The secret of happiness lies in mind’s release from
worldly ties.
Insufficient Knowledge
The man of little learning grows old like the ox.
His body grows but wisdom grows not.
4
Life Is Dear To All
All tremble at the rod. All fear death. Feeling for
others as for oneself, one should neither kill nor
cause to kill.
A Religion To Practise
This is a religion for one to come and practise but
not just to come and believe.
Evil-Doer Grieves
The evil-doer grieves here, he grieves hereafter. He
grieves in both worlds. He grieves, he perishes with
his own impure deed.
Vigilance and Negligence
Vigilance is the path to deathlessness. Negligence is
the path to death. The vigilant do not die. The
negligent are as if dead already.
