Belief
"Do not believe in
anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is
spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found
in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of
your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been
handed down for generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find
that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to
the good and benefit of one and all,
then accept it and live up to
it."
- The Buddha
