Buddhism Ultimate Collection Quotes

“highest goodness without a creating God; a continuity of life without adhering to the superstitious and selfish doctrine of an eternal, metaphysical soul-substance that goes out of the body; a happiness without an objective heaven; a method of salvation without a vicarious Saviour; redemption by oneself as the Redeemer, and without rites, prayers, penances, priests or intercessory saints; and a _summum bonum_, _i.e._, Nirvana, attainable in this life and in this world by leading a pure, unselfish life of wisdom and of compassion to all beings.”
― Paul Carus, Buddhism Ultimate Collection
