Every Morning We Are Born Again

This saying is not found in the Pali Canon or any authenticated Buddhist scripture. The Fake Buddha Quotes project identifies it as a modern composition, likely a paraphrase of Buddhist ideas about impermanence and the importance of present-moment action. Buddhist teaching does emphasize that each moment is fresh and that past karma does not determine present intention — ideas found throughout the Dhammapada — but the specific framing of "every morning we are born again" is a contemporary formulation without a canonical source.
