[Buddha-l] [Fwd: PEACE Quote]

[jkirk]

Wasn't the first sage this happened to Confucius? 
Back in the forties-----"Confucius says,..." followed by anything
the speaker felt like saying.

==========================


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
