"Believe nothing …merely because you have been told it…or because it is traditional, or because you yourselves

have imagined it.

Do not believe what your teacher

tells you merely out of respect

for the teacher.

But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare

of all beings –that doctrine believe

and cling to, and take it as

your guide."

Gautama Buddha
