I Can’t Believe It’s Not Buddha!

Bodhipaksa, a well-known Buddhist teacher and the founder of fakebuddhaquotes.com, takes a look at some of the quotes that are erroneously attributed to the Buddha, explains the ways in which these disagree (or sometimes agree) with Buddhist teachings, and offers some genuine examples of the Buddha’s words.

The perfect gift for the Buddhist in your life and an essential addition to any Buddhist library, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Buddha! is at once humorous and scholarly, and a timely antidote to the “fake news” that can surround some of the Buddha’s teachings.
