This is what ordinary people say and cannot be trusted. Every sentence of Buddha’s teachings for 49 years is a classic! The four most classic sayings of Sakyamuni are:
1. No matter who you meet, he is the person who should appear in your life.
This means that no one comes into our lives by chance. Everyone around us and with whom we interact represents something. Maybe it wants to teach us something, maybe it wants to help us improve a situation in front of us.
2. No matter what happens, that is the only thing that will happen.
What we experienced could not have happened any other way, not even the most unimportant details. Whatever happens, that's the only way it can happen, and it must happen that way in order for us to learn the lesson in order to move forward. Every situation we experience in life is absolutely perfect, even if it doesn't fit our understanding and self-esteem.
3. No matter when things start, it is the right moment.
Everything starts at exactly the right moment, neither early nor late. When we are ready, ready to experience a new moment in life, it is there, ready to begin.
4. What is over is over.
It's so simple. When something in life ends, it helps us evolve. That’s why, to fully enjoy what has happened, it’s best to let go and move on. I believe it is no coincidence that you are sitting here reading these words. If these words strike a chord with you, it’s because your karma is ripe. You understand that no snowflake can accidentally fall into the wrong place.
Extended information:
Sakyamuni (Buddha), the founder of Buddhism, was a member of the Sakyamuni tribe in Kapilavastu, Central India in ancient times. At this time, the prosperity of commodity trade promoted the rise of the Kshatriya class. The authoritative status of traditional Brahmanism, which had constituted an obstacle, was weakened. The ideological circles were also active in the Samana ideological trend, including Buddhism.
The life of Sakyamuni did not attract the attention of the early Tripitaka editors, who only recorded the teacher's words in as much detail as possible; more detailed narratives and more legendary stories were carefully fabricated later. Regarding the image of Buddha, what is relatively reliable is a basic outline. For the rest of his life, he traveled all over the Ganges River Basin, preaching sermons and teachings to all walks of life. His sublation of heretical ideas corrected certain deviations in the civilization of the times and safeguarded the class interests of the Kshatriyas, making him revered as a saint of the Sakya tribe.
In the time of Buddha, the Ganges River Basin in northern India, known as "China", was one of the most civilized regions in the world at that time. Sixteen major kingdoms competed here, including Magadha and Koissa. Luo State is the second most powerful country, and there are many small states in addition. Due to the need for governance, the caste system gradually became stricter. Brahmans (in power in the west) and Kshatriyas (in power in the east) are both slave-owning classes; the Vaishya minority are divided into small and medium-sized slave owners or official and business class, and most of them are on the edge of slaves; Sudras (non-Aryans) are mostly handicraftsmen, Actually racial slaves.
There was no fierce class struggle during this period. The political order of each city-state is relatively stable, and agriculture, industry and commerce are quite developed. India's overseas trade has already begun. Due to the prosperity of commodity trade, new wealthy businessmen have emerged. In the wars between various countries to expand their territories, the Kshatriyas mastered actual military power and gained political status, replacing the authority of the Brahmin caste. Even in philosophy, there are signs of a Brahmin-to-Kshatriya shift. It is generally believed that the center of the new politics and new culture of this era was Magadha.
