The Four Reliances. First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words; Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher; Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation; And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.
Gautama BuddhaOn a long journey of human life, faith is the best of companions; it is the best refreshment on the journey; and it is the greatest property.
Gautama Buddha
