WHO is Buddha?

Shakyamuni says the "awakened" Buddha is a spiritual leader who teaches meditation. He lived about 2500 years ago in India. He was born in Lumbini (Nepal) where he is called "Siddhartha Gautama", the one who reaches his goal. 

Several stories exist about his life, but some episodes are famous and relate the same facts. If you want to know who is this man that most of us talk about and refer to learn some life advice, click on this link:https://www.britannica.com/biography/Buddha-founder-of-Buddhism


However, before his death, the Buddha left us many wonders of his teachings, of which here are 25 of the best known : 

1. Love heals everything.

2. It's not what you say but what you do that defines who you are.

3. The secret to good health is to live fully in the present moment.
