It is in dependence on me as an admirable friend that beings subject to birth have gained release from birth, that beings subject to aging have gained release from aging, that beings subject to death have gained release from death, that beings subject to sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair have gained release from sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair.

If there ever was a "Sid", let alone a "The Buddha", it is highly unlikely that he ever said "It is in dependence on me...". This is inconsistent with the message that exists underneath the tangled jungle of religious obfuscation and abstractification that "Buddhism" has cultivated on top of the Dharma.
