Quotations
Celebration of cerebration is not what the public wants.
Do not believe in any thing
Simply because you have heard it
Do not believe in any thing
Simply because it's spoken and rumored by many,
Do not believe in any thing
Simply because it's found written in your religious books
Do not believe in any thing
Merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because,
They have been handed down for many generations,
But after observation and analysis
When you find that any thing agrees with reason
And is conductive to the good and benefit of one and all
Then accept it and live up to it.
~ Lord, Gautham Buddha ~
