Food for Thought #35

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

Lord Buddha was the foremost leader of a community of people in search of spiritual happiness in a bygone era. He is known as the "Great One," and he has become a refuge to people in later times because of the power of the Dhamma. The teachings that he propagated have held the world in check and have kept it from disintegration; even those who have never heard his name have still benefited from the principles of his Dhamma.
