Buddha does not appear to be associated with this quote. However, Paramahansa Yogananda, Indian mystic, yogi, and guru is. The full quote is as follows:

Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake. If material poverty is to be avoided, spiritual poverty is to be abhorred. For it is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Why do Buddhists have different attitudes to god?

Buddhists do not worship any sort of god. They follow the teachings of a man named Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha).The Buddhists do not feel that there being or not being a god in anyway impacts your ability to realize enlightenment - it is after all an individual journey. In fact having a deity to "make things right" would detract from an individual's effort.

What caused siddartha to found Buddhism?

According to tradition, Siddhartha Gautama experienced the "Four Sights" outside of secluded palace life: Old Age, Sickness, Death, and an ascetic who was devoted to the religious life. The first three shocked Siddharta, and made him realize that human life is full of suffering. The final sight inspired him to become an ascetic as well to find the way out of human suffering. Some time later, after attaining Enlightenment, legend states that the deva/god Brahma Sahampati encouraged him to go into the world and teach mankind what he had found, for the happiness of mankind. It seems that at first the Buddha did not find it worth the time because of mankind's ignorance, and inability to understand his teaching. However he eventually decided to teach and over time founded a community of disciples, made up of Bhikkhus (monks), Bhikkhunis (nuns), lay men, and lay women. This was the beginning of the Buddhist faith.


According to Buddhist teachings what is the cause of suffering and how does one end it?

The Four Noble Truths state:1. Suffering exists2. Suffering arises from attachment to desires3. Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases4. Freedom from suffering is possible by practicing the Eightfold PathWhile the language differs slightly depending on the source used for the Noble Truths it is evident that Suffering (also described as unsatisfactoriness) is caused by desires for anything beyond ones base needs (a steak dinner as opposed to a meal of any sort). The suffering ends when we realize this (by following the guidelines known as the Eightfold Path) and we accept the middle path.
