Gautama Buddha (c. 563 – c. 483 BC) was a teacher and religious leader. "Buddha", meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title, not a name; the Shakyamuni Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism.

- Do not go by revelation;
Do not go by tradition;
Do not go by hearsay;
Do not go on the authority of sacred texts;
Do not go on the grounds of pure logic;
Do not go by a view that seems rational;
Do not go by reflecting on mere appearances;
Do not go along with a considered view because you agree with it;
Do not go along on the grounds that the person is competent;
Do not go along because "the recluse is our teacher."
Kalamas, when you yourselves know: These things are unwholesome, these things are blameworthy; these things are censured by the wise; and when undertaken and observed, these things lead to harm and ill, abandon them...
Kalamas, when you know for yourselves: These are wholesome; these things are not blameworthy; these things are praised by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things lead to benefit and happiness, having undertaken them, abide in them.

- Therefore, Ananda, be islands unto yourselves, refuges unto yourselves, seeking no external refuge; with the Dhamma as your island, the Dhamma as your refuge, seeking no other refuge. And how, Ananda, is a bhikkhu an island unto himself, a refuge unto himself, seeking no external refuge; with the Dhamma as his island, the Dhamma as his refuge, seeking no other refuge? When he dwells contemplating the body in the body, earnestly, clearly comprehending, and mindfully, after having overcome desire and sorrow in regard to the world; when he dwells contemplating feelings in feelings, the mind in the mind, and mental objects in mental objects, earnestly, clearly comprehending, and mindfully, after having overcome desire and sorrow in regard to the world, then, truly, he is an island unto himself, a refuge unto himself, seeking no external refuge; having the Dhamma as his island, the Dhamma as his refuge, seeking no other refuge. Those bhikkhus of mine, Ananda, who now or after I am gone, abide as an island unto themselves, as a refuge unto themselves, seeking no other refuge; having the Dhamma as their island and refuge, seeking no other refuge: it is they who will become the highest, if they have the desire to learn.

[A devata] Giving what does one give strength? Giving what does one give beauty? Giving what does one give ease? Giving what does one give sight? Who is the giver of all? Being asked, please explain to me
[The Blessed One] Giving food, one gives strength; Giving clothes, one gives beauty; Giving a vehicle, one gives ease; Giving a lamp, one gives sight.
The one who gives a residence Is the giver of all. But the one who teaches the Dhamma Is the giver of the Deathless

Soma and Mara An adapation of a translation by C.A.F. Rhys-Davids
- Once Soma, having returned from her alms round
- and having eaten her meal, entered the woods to meditate.
- Deep in the woods, she sat down under a tree.
- The tempter Mara, desirous and capable of arousing fear, wavering and dread,
- and wishing her to interrupt her focused meditation, came to her and said,
- Your intent is difficult, even for the sages;
- Completion cannot be reached by a woman regardless the wisdom reaped."
- Then Soma thought, "Who is this speaking, human or nonhuman?
- Surely it is evil Mara desiring to interrupt my focused meditation."
- Knowing that it was Mara, she said,
- "What does gender matter with regard to a well-composed mind,
- which experiences insight in the light of the dharma?"
- The evil Mara thought, "Soma knows me"
- and sorrowful for the evil, instantly vanished into darkness.
Bamboo Acrobats An adaptation of a translation by John Ireland.
- The Exalted One was dwelling in the Sumbha country,
- in a location of the Sumbhas called Sedaka
- There He addressed the monks:
- "Once upon a time, a bamboo-acrobat set up his pole
- and called to his pupil, Medakathalika, saying,
- 'Come my lad Medakathalika,
- climb the pole and stand on my shoulders!'
- 'All right master,'
- replied the pupil to the bamboo-acrobat.
- The student then climbed the pole
- and stood on the master's shoulders.
- Then the bamboo-acrobat said to his pupil:
- 'Now Medakathalika, protect me well and I shall protect you.
- Thus watched and warded by each other,
- we will show our tricks, get a good fee and
- come down safe from the bamboo pole.'
- At these words Medakathalika the pupil
- said to the bamboo-acrobat,
- 'No, no! That won't do master!
- Look after yourself and I'll look after myself.
- Thus watched and warded each by himself,
- we'll show our tricks and get a good fee and
- come down safe from the bamboo-pole.'"
- "In the synthesis is the right way,"
- said the Exalted One,
- "Just as Medakathalika the pupil said to his master,
- 'I shall protect myself,'
- by this the Foundation of Mindfulness is practiced.
- 'I shall protect others,'
- by this the Foundation of Mindfulness is practiced.
- In protecting oneself, others are protected;
- In protecting others, oneself is protected."
- And how does one in protecting oneself, protect others?
- By frequent practice, development and
- making much of the Foundation of Mindfulness.
- Thus in protecting oneself, others are protected.
- And how does one, in protecting others, protect oneself?
- By forbearance and nonviolence,
- By loving kindness and compassion.
- Thus in protecting others, one protects oneself.
- With the intention, 'I shall protect myself,'
- the Foundation of Mindfulness is practiced.
- With the intention, 'I shall protect others,'
- the Foundation of Mindfulness is practiced.
- In protecting oneself, others are protected;
- In protecting others, oneself is protected."
- And this, monks, is the noble truth of the origination of dukkha: the craving that makes for further becoming — accompanied by passion & delight, relishing now here & now there — i.e., craving for sensual pleasure, craving for becoming, craving for non-becoming.

Digha NikayaEdit
- Abandoning false speech, the ascetic Gotama dwells refraining from false speech, a truth-speaker, one to be relied on, trustworthy, dependable, not a deceiver of the world. abandoning malicious speech, he does not repeat there what he has heard here to the detriment of these, or repeat here what he has heard there to the detriment of those. Thus he is a reconciler of those at variance and an encourager of those at one, rejoicing in peace, loving it, delighting in it, one who speaks up for peace. Abandoning harsh speech, he refrains from it. He speaks whatever is blameless, pleasing to the ear, agreeable, reaching the heart, urbane, pleasing and attractive to the multitude. Abandoning idle chatter, he speaks at the right time, what is correct and to the point, of Dhamma and discipline. He is a speaker whose words are to be treasured, seasonable, reasoned, well-defined and connected with the goal.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 1 (Brahmajala Sutta), verse 1.9, pp. 68-69
- Whereas some ascetics and Brahmins remain addicted to such unedifying conversation as about kings, robbers, ministers, armies, dangers, wars, food, drink, clothes, beds, garlands, perfumes, relatives, carriages, villages, towns and cities, countries, women, heroes, street- and well-gossip, talk of the departed, desultory chat, speculations about land and sea, talk about being and non-being, the ascetic Gotama refrains from such conversation.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 1 (Brahmajala Sutta), verse 1.17, p. 70
- As long, Sire, as a monk does not perceive the disappearance of the five hindrances in himself, he feels as if in debt, in sickness, in bonds, in slavery, on a desert journey. But when he perceives the disappearance of the five hindrances in himself, it is as if he were freed from debt, from sickness, from bonds, from slavery, from the perils of the desert.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 2 (Samaññaphala Sutta), verse 74, p. 102
- It is just as if a man were to draw out a reed from its sheath. He might think: "This is the reed, this is the sheath, reed and sheath are different. Now the reed has been pulled from the sheath." … In the same way a monk with mind concentrated directs his mind to the production of a mind-made body. He draws that body out of this body.

- "I have not declared that the Tathāgata exists after death." …
- "But, Lord, why has the Lord not declared these things?"
- "Potthapada, that is not conducive to the purpose, not conducive to Dhamma, not the way to embark on the holy life; it does not lead to disenchantment, to dispassion, to cessation, to calm, to higher knowledge, to enlightenment, to Nibbana. That is why I have not declared it."
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 9 (Potthapada Sutta), verse 28, p. 164

Majjhima NikayaEdit
- Any kind of material form whatever, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, far or near, all material form should be seen as it actually is with proper wisdom thus: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self."
- B. Nanamoli and B. Bodhi, trans. (1995), Sutta 62, verse 3, p. 527
- Rahula, whatever internally, belonging to oneself, is solid, solidified, and clung-to, that is, head-hairs, body-hairs, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, sinews, bones, bone-marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, diaphragm, spleen, lungs, large intestines, small intestines, contents of the stomach, feces, or whatever else internally, belonging to oneself, is solid, solidified, and clung-to: this is called the internal earth element. Now both the internal earth element and the external earth element are simply earth element. And that should be seen as it actually is with proper wisdom thus: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self." When one sees it thus as it actually is with proper wisdom, one becomes disenchanted with the earth element and makes the mind dispassionate towards the earth element.
- B. Nanamoli and B. Bodhi, trans. (1995), Sutta 62, verse 8, p. 528
- Rahula, develop meditation that is like water. ... Just as people wash clean things and dirty things, excrement, urine, spittle, pus, and blood in water, and the water is not horrified, humiliated, and disgusted because of that, so too, Rahula, develop meditation that is like water.
- B. Nanamoli and B. Bodhi, trans. (1995), Sutta 62, verse 14, p. 530
- Whatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation.

Ch. 58 The Buddha Replies to the Deva
- On a certain day when the Blessed One
- dwelt at Jetavana, the garden of Anathapindika,
- a celestial deva came to him in the shape of a Brahman
- enlightened and wearing clothing as white as snow.
The deva asked,
- What is the sharpest sword?
- What is the deadliest poison?
- What is the fiercest fire?
- What is the darkest night?"
The Blessed One replied,
- The sharpest sword is a word spoken in wrath;
- the deadliest poison is covetousness;
- the fiercest fire is hatred;
- the darkest night is ignorance.
The deva said,
- What is the greatest gain?
- What is the greatest loss?
- Which armour is invulnerable?
- What is the best weapon?
The Blessed One replied,
- The greatest gain is to give to others;
- the greatest loss is to greedily receive without gratitude;
- an invulnerable armor is patience;
- the best weapon is wisdom.
The deva said,
- Who is the most dangerous thief?
- What is the most precious treasure?
- Who can capture the heavens and the earth?
- Where is the securest treasure-trove?
The Blessed One replied,
- The most dangerous thief is unwholesome thought;
- the most precious treasure is virtue;
- the heavens and the earth may be captured by the mind's eye;
- surpassing rebirth locates the securest treasure-trove.
The deva asked,
- What is attraction?
- What is repulsion?
- What is the most horrible pain?
- What is the greatest enjoyment?
The Buddha replied,
- Attraction is wholeness;
- repulsion is unwholesomeness;
- the most tormenting pain is bad conscience;
- the height of bliss is redeemed awakening.
The deva asked,
- What causes ruin in the world?
- What breaks off friendships?
- What is the most violent fever?
- Who is the best physician?"
The Blessed One replied,
- Ruin in the world is caused by ignorance;
- friendships are broken off by envy and selfishness;
- the most violent fever is hatred;
- the best physician is the Buddha;
The deva continued,
- Now I have only one doubt to resolve and absolve:
- What is it fire cannot burn,
- nor moisture corrode,
- nor wind crush down,
- but is able to enlighten the whole world.
The Buddha replied,
- Blessing!
- Neither fire, nor moisture, nor wind
- can destroy the blessing of good deeds,
- and blessings enlighten the whole world.
Hearing these answers,
- the deva was overflowing with joy.
- Then clasping hands, bowed down in respect and
- disappeared suddenly from the presence of the Buddha.
- True charity occurs only when there are no notions of giving, giver, or gift.
- David Ross, 1,001 Pearls of Wisdom, 2006, p. 26
- We forgive principally for our own sake, so that we may cease to bear the burden of rancour.
- David Ross, 1,001 Pearls of Wisdom, 2006, p. 30
- Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.

- These quotes are unsourced and their authenticity as sayings of the Gautama Buddha has been questioned.
- Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
- Research done at Fake Buddha Quotes indicates that this seems to have arisen as a paraphrase of paraphrases, and has been further paraphrased as "Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart to give yourself to it." They seem to have been derived from a "rendering" of verse 166 of the Dhammapada by Anne Bancroft: "Your work is to find out what your work should be and not to neglect it for another's. Clearly discover your work and attend to it with all your heart." A 1996 translation by Acharya Buddharakkhita renders this more correctly as : Let one not neglect one's own welfare for the sake of another, however great. Clearly understanding one's own welfare, let one be intent upon the good.
- Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Just as the candle won't be shortened, one's happiness never decreases by being shared.

- The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
- To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
- Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
- If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.
- Let us all be thankful for this day, for we have learned a great deal; if we have not learned a great deal, then at least we learned slightly; if we did not learn slightly, then at least we did not become sick; if we did become sick, then at least we did not die. So, let us all be thankful.
- On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
- Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
- Desire is the cause for all your sickness and misery.
- It is your mind that creates this world.
- Believe nothing, O monks, merely because you have been told it … or because it is traditional, or because you yourselves have imagined it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings—that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.

- There is no quote from the Pali Canon that matches up with any of these. The closest quote to this is in the Majjhima Nikaya 19:
- "Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking & pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness. If a monk keeps pursuing thinking imbued with sensuality, abandoning thinking imbued with renunciation, his mind is bent by that thinking imbued with sensuality. If a monk keeps pursuing thinking imbued with ill will, abandoning thinking imbued with non-ill will, his mind is bent by that thinking imbued with ill will. If a monk keeps pursuing thinking imbued with harmfulness, abandoning thinking imbued with harmlessness, his mind is bent by that thinking imbued with harmfulness." Sources: [1]
Quotes about BuddhaEdit
- Sorted alphabetically by author or source
- The teachings of Buddha are eternal, but even then Buddha did not proclaim them to be infallible. The religion of Buddha has the capacity to change according to times, a quality which no other religion can claim to have … Now what is the basis of Buddhism? If you study carefully, you will see that Buddhism is based on reason. There is an element of flexibility inherent in it, which is not found in any other religion.
- Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, in The Buddha and His Dhamma (1957)
- The age in which true history appeared in India was one of great intellectual and spiritual ferment. Mystics and sophists of all kinds roamed through the Ganga Valley, all advocating some form of mental discipline and asceticism as a means to salvation; but the age of the Buddha, when many of the best minds were abandoning their homes and professions for a life of asceticism, was also a time of advance in commerce and politics. It produced not only philosophers and ascetics, but also merchant princes and men of action.
- For the first time in human history, the Buddha admonished, entreated and appealed to people not to hurt a living being, and it is not necessary to offer prayer, praise or sacrifice to gods. With all the eloquence at his command the Buddha vehemently proclaimed that gods are also in dire need of salvation themselves.
- Thomas William Rhys Davids, as quoted in Great Personalities on Buddhism (1965) by K. Sri Dhammananda, p. 109
- India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.
- Will Durant, in The Case for India (1931)
- One of my sons, the eldest boy, accused me of being a follower of Buddha, and some of my Hindu countrymen also do not hesitate to accuse me of spreading Buddhistic teaching under the guise of Sanatana Hinduism.
I sympathize with my son's accusations and the accusations of my Hindu friends. And sometimes I feel even proud of being accused of being a follower of the Buddha, and I have no hesitation in declaring in the presence of this audience that I owe a great deal to the inspiration that I have derived from the life of the Enlightened One. Asia has a message for the whole world, if only it would live up to it. There is the imprint of Buddhistic influence on the whole of Asia, which includes India, China, Japan, Burma, Ceylon, and the Malay States. For Asia to be not for Asia but for the whole world, it has to re-learn the message of the Buddha and deliver it to the whole world. His love, his boundless love went out as much to the lower animal, to the lowest life as to human beings. And he insisted upon purity of life.
- Mahatma Gandhi, as quoted in With Gandhiji in Ceylon (1928) by Mahadev Haribhai Desai, p. 54
- The Buddha is a being who is totally free of all delusions and faults, who is endowed with all good qualities and has attained the wisdom eliminating the darkness of ignorance. The Dharma is the result of his enlightenment. After having achieved enlightenment, a Buddha teaches, and what he or she teaches is called the Dharma. The Sangha is made up of those who engage in the practice of the teachings given by the Buddha. . . . One of the benefits of refuge is that all of the misdeeds you have committed in the past can be purified, because taking refuge entails accepting the Buddha's guidance and following a path of virtuous action.
- Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama, in The Way to Freedom : Core Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism (1994)
- Now in this realm Buddha's speeches are a source and mine of quite unparalleled richness and depth. As soon as we cease to regard Buddha's teachings simply intellectually and acquiesce with a certain sympathy in the age-old Eastern concept of unity, if we allow Buddha to speak to us as vision, as image, as the awakened one, the perfect one, we find him, almost independently of the philosophic content and dogmatic kernel of his teachings, a great prototype of mankind. Whoever attentively reads a small number of the countless speeches of Buddha is soon aware of harmony in them, a quietude of soul, a smiling transcendence, a totally unshakeable firmness, but also invariable kindness, endless patience. As ways and means to the attainment of this holy quietude of soul, the speeches are full of advice, precepts, hints. The intellectual content of Buddha's teaching is only half his work, the other half is his life, his life as lived, as labour accomplished and action carried out. A training, a spiritual self training of the highest order was accomplished and is taught here, a training about which unthinking people who talk about "quietism" and "Hindu dreaminess" and the like in connection with Buddha have no conception; they deny him the cardinal Western virtue of activity. Instead Buddha accomplished a training for himself and his pupils, exercised a discipline, set up a goal, and produced results before which even the genuine heroes of European action can only feel awe.

The Buddha has given such answers when interrogated as to the conditions of a man's self after his death; but they are not familiar answers for the tradition of seventeenth and eighteenth century science.
- J. Robert Oppenheimer, as quoted in The New Yorker (19 June 1954), p. 61
- The fundamental teachings of Gautama, as it is now being made plain to us by study of original sources, is clear and simple and in the closest harmony with modern ideas. It is beyond all disputes the achievement of one of the most penetrating intelligence the world has ever known. Buddhism has done more for the advance of world civilization and true culture than any other influence in the chronicles of mankind.
- H. G. Wells, in The Outline of History (1920), Ch. 25
- The Buddha Is Nearer to Us You see clearly a man, simple, devout, lonely, battling for light, a vivid human personality, not a myth. Beneath a mass of miraculous fable I feel that there also was a man. He too, gave a message to mankind universal in its character. Many of our best modern ideas are in closest harmony with it. All the miseries and discontents of life are due, he taught, to selfishness. Selfishness takes three forms — one, the desire to satisfy the senses; second, the craving for immortality; and the third the desire for prosperity and worldliness. Before a man can become serene he must cease to live for his senses or himself. Then he merges into a greater being. Buddha in a different language called men to self-forgetfulness five hundred years before Christ. In some ways he was near to us and our needs. Buddha was more lucid upon our individual importance in service than Christ, and less ambiguous upon the question of personal immortality.
- H. G. Wells, in The Outline of History (1920), Ch. 25

Own Goal Helps Men's Soccer in First Win of the Season; Defeat Erskine 2-1
September 18, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University used a pair of first half goals to score their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Erskine College in Conference Carolinas mens soccer action on Saturday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. An own goal proved to be the difference as the Falcons advance to 1-3-1 overall, 1-1 in league play. The Flying Fleet loss drops them to 2-2, 0-1.
Pfeiffer struck quickly in the 12th minute as Fahret Salihovic (Charlotte, NC) sent a corner kick cross to the head of Alex Landim (Brockton, MA) who found the back of the net for a 1-0 Falcon lead. Three and a half minutes later, Asher Quave-Robinson (Columbia, SC) attempted to send a cross over to Landim in the box that deflected off a sliding Erskine defender and into the cage for a 2-0.
Matt Sluga (Greer, SC) put the Flying Fleet on the board just 1:09 into the second half. After the initial shot by Ben Godfrey (Rutherfordton, NC) was saved by Falcon keeper Alex Moreno (Huntersville, NC), the rebound clanked off the crossbar and down into a pile of players where Sluga tapped it in to cut the deficit in half.
Moreno made six saves in net as the Falcons played a majority of the second half down a man after a red card. Erskine was issued a red card with just seconds left in the contest as a physical match took place from start to finish.
Pfeiffer steps out of conference play on Wednesday to host Newberry at N.E. Lefko Field. Match time is set for 4:00 p.m. with live stats being available through www.gofalconsports.com.

The new building will be about 22,000 square feet larger than the current high school. There will be several more meetings to help decide what the community wants for the new school building. The location for the new high school is south of Walmart.
