Buddha Quote by Anonymous
““Buddha is a precedent more than a prophet; and where Jesus came to earth as the way, the truth, and the life, the Buddha came to suggest that the way is up to us, the “truth” is often impermanent, and the light comes and goes, comes and goes, until we have found something changeless within.””
