Do not believe in anything simply because
you have heard it.
Don't believe in anything simply because
it is spoken and rumored by many.
Don't believe in anything simply because
it is found written in your religious books.
Don't believe in anything 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 anything agrees with reason
and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all,
then accept it and live up to it.
-- Buddha
