Buddha Quotes

“I'm a human being, I exist! And if I speak one thought aloud, that thought lives, even after I am shoveled into my grave!”
- from The Obsolete Man

'There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.'

Buddha

I know this is different but it's right on topic.

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't wanna stay down here surving my narcissism
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
And leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable
So let the light touch you and let the words spill through
Just let them pass right through bringing out our hope and reason
Before we pine away.

-Maynard James Keenan-

"Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see."
— Edgar Allan Poe

the Buddha addressed all the monks once more, and these were the very last words he spoke:

"All compounded things, all experiences (mental and physical), all phenomena by their very nature decay and die, and are disappointing.It is through being not-blind-drunk on, obsessed by, or infatuated with, the objects of the senses, that you succeed in awakening, or obtain liberation."

The Buddha will always be misunderstood by the unenlightened, that is why he is Buddha.

Peace.

The Four Noble Truths (Sanskrit: catvāri āryasatyāni) are an important principle in Buddhism, classically taught by the Buddha in the Dharmacakra Pravartana Sūtra.
According to various sources, a simple rendition of the Four Noble Truths is as follows:


" 1. Suffering exists
2. Suffering arises from attachment to desires
3. Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases
4. Freedom from suffering is possible by practising the Eightfold Path "
