Do not believe in anything (simply)
because you have heard it.

Do not believe in traditions because they
have been handed down for many generations.

Do not believe in anything because it is
spoken and rumored by many.

Do not believe in anything (simply) because
it is found written in your religious books.

Do not believe in anything merely on the authority
of your teachers and elders.

But after observation and analysis,
when you find that 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 ( Anguttara Nikaya, Vol 1, 188-193 P.T.S. ED.)

I tell everyone I know this! Just not in this way.

When I hear things like "Pokemon is evil" I say, "Have you ever played?" the answer is always the same. "No, but I know it's evil!" I say, "How do you know?" Billy joe said so!! BS!

Look into it for yourself!

Hey ShiningArmour that works also!
