Believe
nothing merely because you have been told 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 kind, conducive to the good, the benefit,
the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling
to and take it as your guide.
The Buddha
