“ He became frightened. "The world is lost," he said to himself, "the world is undone, if the Perfect One, the Holy One, the Buddha, now stands aloof, if he does not go among men to preach the doctrine and propagate the knowledge." ”
André Ferdinand Herold, The Life of Buddha — 2. The Buddha is Prepared to Preach the Doctrine (1927)
“ Deign to teach the knowledge, O Master, deign to teach the knowledge, O Blessed One. There are men of great purity in the world, men whom no filth has ever defiled, but, if they are not instructed in the knowledge, how will they find salvation? ”
André Ferdinand Herold, The Life of Buddha — 2. The Buddha is Prepared to Preach the Doctrine (1927)
“ Let the law blaze like a burning torch, or like refreshing rain, let it fall upon the parched earth. Deliver those who are tormented by evil; bring peace to those consumed by a vicious fire! You, who are like a star among men, you alone can destroy birth and death. ”
