The Path of Reasoning | May 22, 2014
Gold merchants do not merely accept the
seller’s praise of his goods; rather, they use a variety of methods to
examine the quality of the merchandise before they make their purchase
decision. Similarly, the Buddha said, do not accept my teachings out of
faith in me, but rather out of your own confidence in my
words—confidence that you have reached as a result of your own
intelligent analysis.
—Khenpo Tsültrim Gyamtso, “Dissecting Devotion”
