Do not simply believe in what you hear just
because you have heard it for a long time.
Do not follow tradition blindly merely because
it has been practised in that way for many generations.
Do not be quick to listen to rumours.
Do not confirm anything because it
agrees with your scriptures.
Do not foolishly make assumptions.
Do not abruptly draw conclusions from what
you see and hear.
Do not be fooled by outward
appearances.
Do not hold on tightly to any view or idea
just because you are comfortable with it.
Do not accept as fact anything that you
yourself find to be logical.
Do not be convinced of anything out of
respect and deference to your spiritual
teachers. Not even me.
You should go beyond opinion and belief. You can rightly reject anything which when accepted, practised and perfected leads to more aversion, more craving and more delusion. They are not beneficial and are to be avoided.
Conversely, you can rightly accept anything which when accepted and practised leads to unconditional love, contentment and wisdom. These things allow you time and space to develop a happy and peaceful mind.
This should be your criteria on what is and what is not the truth; on what should be and what should not be the spiritual practice.
THE BUDDHA
For me, I deeply feel connected to this sutra / sutta. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Mindblowing masterpiece.
BUDDHA ROCKS
