Buddha Quote

Wednesday September 17, 2025

Was The Buddha Enlightened?How do we know if the Buddha was really Enlightened? I think this
is like a trick question that many Buddhists, including me, find
hard to answer to non-Buddhists. The honest answer has to be that
we don't know with absolute certainty-lest we are ourselves
Enlightened. But meanwhile, the Buddha is the "most Enlightened"
being that we have a record of! By "most Enlightened," we mean He
was the wisest and kindest being that ever graced the Earth. He
was faultless in action, speech and deed. Perfection can't be any
more perfect. And we have to remember that He was historical-He
came, He seeked the Truth, found it and shared it best He could.

We offer Daily Buddha Quotes & Meditations for a more peaceful life. The quotes of Buddha you see
here are interpretations of Buddist concepts. As we know, there are many Buddhas, as well as many incarnations
of Buddha. The quotes of Buddha we publish here may not be exact words, but perhaps they are -- there may be
an incarnation of the Buddha right next to you, but you haven't recognized the Enlightened One yet!
