They who imagine truth in untruth and see untruth in truth will never arrive at the truth.
Gautama BuddhaTo be concerned with the issue; soul versus non-soul, is to be in bondage to craving for becoming and non-becoming.
Gautama BuddhaOne is not called noble who harms living beings. By not harming living beings one is called noble.
Gautama BuddhaBelieve nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
Gautama Buddha
