The Buddha on Belief

The Buddha on Belief
From The Kama Sutra



"Do not believe in anything simply because you have

heard it. Do not believe simply because it has been

handed down for many generations. Do not believe

in anything simply because it is spoken, and rumored

by many. Do not believe in anything simply because

it is written in holy scriptures. Do not believe in

anything merely on the authority of teachers, elders,

or wise men. Believe only after careful observation,

and analysis. When you find that it agrees with

reason, and is condusive to the good, and benefit

of one and all. Then accept it, and live up to it."
