The essential teachings of the Buddha
“Yo sàro so thassati.” “Whatever is the core of the tree will last for a long time.” (MN. Sutta N. 29)
“Yo paticcasamuppadam passati, so dhammam passati; Yo dhammam passati, so paticcasamuppadam passati”
“Whoever sees Dependent Origination (paticcasamuppada) sees the Dhamma; whoever sees the Dhamma sees Dependent Origination.” [M.I.191]
“Sabbadānaṃ dhammadānaṃ jināti.” “Dharma giving trumps all givings, or of all kinds of almsgivings, Dharma giving is the noblest.”
“Yo vo ānanda mayā dhammo ca vinayo ca desito paññatto so vo mam’ accayena satthā. Vinayo nāmabuddhasāsanassa āyu Vinaye țhite sāsanam thitam hoti.”
“O Ananda, after I (the Buddha) pass away, my Dharma and Precepts skillfully taught, practiced, and applied into the daily life are all of your teachers. The virtuous Precepts are the lifespan of Buddhism. Once the virtuous Precepts are applied and practiced very well, Buddhism can last a long time in the world.”
The five good blessings in Buddhism include “Longevity, beauty, happiness, strength, and wisdom.”
