The Buddha

The Buddha (c. 6th-5th century BCE)

"Sorrow springs from attachment.
Fear springs from attachment.
For the person freed from attachment
there is no sorrow. From where could fear emmerge?"

• The Dhammapada (Verses on the Way, Chapter 16), recorded in the 3rd century BCE. Translation by Glenn Wallis, 2004.
