Buddha Quotes Quotes

When the Aggregates arise, decay and die, O bhikkhu, every moment you are born, decay, and die.

~ Gautama Buddha

What we call life...is the combination of the Five Aggregates, a combination of physical and mental energies. These are constantly changing; they do not remain the same for two consecutive moments. Every moment they are born and they die. 'When the Aggregates arise, decay and die, O bhikkhu, every moment you are born, decay, and die.' This, even dow during this life time, every moment we are born and die, but we continue. If we can understand that in this life we can continue without a permanent, unchanging substance like Self or Soul, why can't we understand that those forces themselves can continue without a Self or a Soul behind them after the non-functioning of the body?

The most important and uniquely glorious element of Buddha’s character was that, he did not compel his pupils to be slaves either to his teachings or to himself, but like a conscientious human, demanded from his followers to accept his words not merely out of regard for him but after subjecting them to a thorough examination. And this is where Buddha stands out from the crowd of self-proclaimed prophets.

~ Abhijit Naskar

It is the ultimate religion, through which all humans neuropsychologically morph into Buddhas, or Enlightened Beings.

~ Abhijit Naskar

Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.
