Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha
Teacher and founder of Buddhism · c. 6th c. BCE–5th c. BCE
Siddhartha Gautama, called the Buddha, taught a path out of suffering in northern India. The Dhammapada gathers verses attributed to him in the Pali canon.
Hatred is never ended by hatred in this world; it is ended by the absence of hatred. This is an ancient law.
Na hi verena verāni sammantīdha kudācanaṃ; averena ca sammanti, esa dhammo sanantano.
Dhammapada, verse 5
