The Buddha, Udana-Varga 5:18

The Golden Rule Chronology

c. 563-483 BC Buddha in India teaches compassion and shunning unhealthy desires. His golden rule says: “There is nothing dearer to man than himself; therefore, as it is the same thing that is dear to you and to others, hurt not others with what pains yourself” (Dhammapada, Northern Canon, 5:18).

–Rev., Dr. Harry Gensler S.J. [The Golden Rule Chronology].
