Regarding Doubt
We
feel that if we have doubts, it means that we are denying the teachings
and that we should really have unquestioning faith. Now in certain
religions, unquestioning faith is considered a desirable quality. But in
the Buddha-dharma, this is not necessarily so. Referring to the dharma,
the Buddha said, 'ehi passiko,' which means 'come and see,' or 'come
and investigate,' not 'come and believe.'
