Buddha said: " Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard of it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for generations. Do not believe in anything because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after an observation and analysis, when you find anyhing agress with a reason, and is conductive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." |
