Quote by Buddha

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings -- that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of independent thinking and critical analysis. It urges us not to blindly accept information or beliefs just because someone in a position of authority or influence imparts them to us. Instead, the quote encourages us to examine and analyze ideas ourselves to determine their worth. Only when we have done so and find them to be kind, beneficial, and promoting the welfare of all should we believe in and embrace them. It promotes the idea of making informed decisions based on our own judgment rather than simply following the words of others.
