मनोपुब्बङ्गमा धम्मा, मनोसेट्ठा मनोमया।

ततो नं दुक्खमन्वेति, चक्कंकव वहतो पदं॥

Wikipedia introduces Buddha thus...
Siddhārtha Gautama (Sanskrit: सिद्धार्थ गौतम; Pali: Siddhattha Gotama) was a spiritual teacher from ancient India who founded Buddhism. In most Buddhist traditions, he is regarded as the Supreme Buddha (P. sammāsambuddha, S. samyaksaṃbuddha) of our age, "Buddha" meaning "awakened one" or "the enlightened one." The time of his birth and death are uncertain: most early 20th-century historians dated his lifetime as c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE, but more recent opinion may be dating his death to between 411 and 400 BCE.

Some of the fundamentals of the teachings attributed to Gautama Buddha are: * The Four Noble Truths: that suffering is an ingrained part of existence; that the origin of suffering is craving for sensuality, acquisition of identity, and annihilation; that suffering can be ended; and that following the Noble Eightfold Path is the means to accomplish this. * The Noble Eightfold Path: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. * Dependent origination: the mind creates suffering as a natural product of a complex process. * Rejection of the infallibility of accepted scripture: Teachings should not be accepted unless they are borne out by our experience and are praised by the wise. See the Kalama Sutta for details. * Anicca (Sanskrit: anitya): That all things that come to be have an end. * Dukkha (Sanskrit: duḥkha): That nothing which comes to be is ultimately satisfying. * Anattā (Sanskrit: anātman): That nothing in the realm of experience can really be said to be "I" or "mine". * Nibbāna (Sanskrit: Nirvāna): It is possible for sentient beings to realize a dimension of awareness which is totally unconstructed and peaceful, and end all suffering due to the mind's interaction with the conditioned world.

  • “My Life Changed Forever.” Sullivan, Elizabeth. One tactic they (cointelpro stalkers) use is to research which neighbors don’t really know the target that well. Then they tell them lies about some criminal activity in which the target is involved….

    欲や怒りや誤解に支配された行為は悪い行為なのです。ですから、­よほど悪いことをしないように注意しないと、悪い行為をしてしま­うのです。また、完全に悪い行為をしないようにするためには、智­慧も必要です。智慧のない人には、誤解があり、欲や怒りの感情が­表れやすいのです。(Quote from ven. wANGISA)DHAMMAPADA 124
