Homage to the Blessed One, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One
Tamed, he is supreme among those who tame;
At peace, he is the sage among those who bring peace;
Freed, he is the chief of those who set free;
Delivered, he is the best of those who deliver.
— Anguttara Nikaya 4:23
Of all the paths the Eightfold Path is the best;
Of all the truths the Four Noble Truths are the best;
Of all things dispassion is the best;
Of men the Buddha is the best.
— Dhammapada 273
