Quotes from the Buddha in the Dhammapada:
"Never by hatred is hatred appeased, but it is appeased by kindness. This is an eternal truth."
"One should win anger through kindness, wickedness through goodness, selfishness through charity, and falsehood through truthfulness."
"He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me: the hatred of those who harbor such thoughts is not assuaged."
"One should not pry into the faults of others, into things done and left undone by others. One should rather consider what by oneself is done and left undone."
Quoted from
Walpola Rahula
What the Buddha Taught
Some of the Buddha's sayings in the Dhammapada are reminiscent of the Sermon on the Mount.
