“Do not believe in what you have heard; do not believe in the traditions because they have been handed down for generations; do not believe in anything because it is rumored or spoken by many; do not believe merely because a written statement of some old sage is produced; do not believe in conjectures; do not believe in as truth that to which you have become attached by habit; do not believe merely the authority of teachers and elders. After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and gain of one and all, then accept it, practice it, and live up to it.”
Buddha
§ What agrees with your reason and is conducive to the good and gain of one and all?
§ Where do you want to tie your boat – align your values’
§ Who is the tribe that supports you?
§ What do you most believe in?
