Buddhist Proverbs, Quotes, and Teachings

The term "Buddha" (or "Awakened One") refers to the Indian spiritual seeker Siddhartha Gautama, who reached enlightenment more than 2,600 years ago. Buddhism is variously viewed as a religion, a philosophy, or a body of ideas and activities based on his teachings. The four noble truths and the eightfold path, two of the Buddha's most well-known teachings, outline the causes of human suffering as well as a road to nirvana and freedom from existential sorrow. From India, these teachings spread to Asia and subsequently the rest of the world. Although there are many diverse schools within the larger Buddhist family, each with its own beliefs and practices, all of these traditions share the notion that one can discover the reality of existence by leading a moral life devoted to spiritual growth. We have put together some of the best Buddhist Quotes...Enjoy!
