[Buddha-l] [Fwd: PEACE Quote]

[Blumenthal, James]

It sort of reminds of the many quotes by "the Dalai Lama" that get forwarded to me.  I don't know why people feel the need to falsely attribute their own ideas to the Dalai Lama or the Buddha.  One would think their conscience would catch up with them at some point.

Denizens,

The folks over at livingcompassion.org are once again quoting someone
whom they call the Buddha. I must have spent my life reading the wrong
Buddhist texts; perhaps I should read them in the original English. In
any case, they have once again come up with a Buddhavacana that had
completely escaped my attention. Anyone know of a source for this gem,
in which the Buddha sounds remarkably like a recent graduate of Brigham
Young University?

We do not possess our home, our children, or even our own body. They are
only given to us for a short while to treat with care and respect.
- The Buddha
