Sayings of Buddha
Edited by Christopher N. Burchett
"Let a wise man blow off the impurities of his self -- as
a smith blows off the impurities of silver, one by one, by little,
and from time to time."
Buddha is not a god or a man carrying from heaven a supernatural
revelation, to be accepted on faith. He does not speak of a God,
a Creator. He does not tell why we live how to live. He
teaches a way of life, and finally a way to achieve the ultimate
happiness of Nirvana, in which a state of blissful, untroubled
peace accompanies the complete opening up of understanding.
This anthology of the Buddha's thoughts and sayings provides
us with mcuh food for thought. It gives us an opportunity to
improve our minds, our lives and the thoughts and lives of those
around us.
Note: The sayings in this book are derived chiefly from the classic
compilation, The Gospel of Buddha by Paul Carus (Chicago,
1896).
