The Buddha, Siddhāttha Gotama civilized half the world with his teaching. These are a collection of his wise quotes. It doesn’t matter which faith you follow or if don’t particularly consider yourself a religious person, you will find truth in his words. The video is after the jump.

Really wonderful. Lord Buddha’s teachings in general transcend national and religious barriers, they do bring about peace of mind for those who really look for it. Great posts and photos indeed.
@Gopal
Yes indeed they do. Thank you for the visit and the feedback too.
Buddhism is wonderful, isn’t it? In Buddhism you don’t study books and ideas; you study yourself. You learn how you operate, how you create unhappiness and alienation and confusion with your own thoughts; you learn not to blame others but to take responsibility for your own condition of life. You don’t follow leaders and experts and gurus; you don’t believe in fate or gods or demons; you become “a lamp unto yourself.”
@nothing profound
“You study yourself”. That’s for sure. Many times I just sit with whatever emotion I am feeling and let it be. When I do that without cogitating or contemplating where it’s coming from the source is revealed to me. I take responsibility for where I’m at, I pacify myself, then I “go deep” and sort it , and I become my own healer.
Me=beginning Buddhist.

I was delighted when I found this video at youtube. The teachings in it are all so meaningful to me and I’m glad to hear you found value in them also.
Namaste
The first few words in this lovely video are perhaps the most important ever uttered by Siddhartha Gautama. This is the essence of his teaching and the way of enlightenment. It is also the hardest of his teaching. DO NOT listen to anyone else’s teaching, discovery, visions ,etc.Do not put yourself in bondange to anyone or anything…including Gautama… UNLESS, it is true for you, unless you, after long thought, understand. If you can get beyond this point, and it is far more difficult than it seems, you are left with a jewel of incalcubale value. The Buddha is not a God, nor is Buddhism properly a religion. It offers great peace
and freedom from thought and fear. Notice the distinction; it is a way of enlightenment.There is no way to enlightenment.It is not a place or thing. Namaste.
