一位哲学天才

　　佛陀是人类悲愍者的先驱，也是唯一有着充沛精力和辉煌人格的人。两千五百年来，佛的教导铭记不忘，人们争先恐后，踊跃围绕“知识源泉”这一问题展开激烈的讨论。也许，他以自己的言行为人类树立的楷模比自身的智慧更要伟大。
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　—— 牟尼·巴格《我们的佛陀》

Philosophic genius

　　The Buddha was a pioneer as a lover of men, and a philosophic genius rolled into a single vigorous and radiant personality. He had things to say that no man or woman, after 2500 years of bustling and hustling and chattering round the fountain of knowledge, can afford to ignore. Greater perhaps than his wisdom was the example he set.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　～ Moni Bagghee ,“Our Buddha”

佛从不讲所谓的“罪”

　　宁静而平和的心境及对一切有情众生的悲愍和博爱是佛陀所倡导的。佛从来不说所谓的“罪”，只讲以觉悟和悲愍来根治众生的愚痴和懈怠。
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　—— 拉达克里希南《乔达摩佛陀》

He does not speak of sin

　　Serenity of spirit and love for all sentient creation are enjoined by the Buddha. He does not speak of sin, but only of ignorance and foolishness which could be cured by enlightenment and sympathy.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　～ Dr.S Radhakrisnan ,“Gautama The Buddha”

佛陀是位名医

　　佛就像一位名医，就像医生必须诊断和弄清不同疾病征兆，它们的起因，对治的方法和药方。佛陀所展示的《四圣谛》也同样指出了苦的范围，苦的起因，苦的息止，以及通向息止痛苦的途径。
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　—— 爱德华·康泽《佛教》

Buddha is like a physician

　　The Buddha is like a physician. Just as a doctor must know the diagnosis of the different kinds of illness, their causes, the antidotes and remedies, and must be able to apply them, so also the Buddha has taught the Four Holy Truths which indicate the range of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the way which lead to its cessation.
