As in yesterday's post about Rabbi Hillel, some time in the 5th century BCE, the Buddha was asked to explain himself. He replied, "I teach about suffering and the end of suffering."
In the 20th century, Suzuki Roshi said he could sum up all of the Buddha's teachings in three words: "Not always so."
Blessings,
Roger
