Just as gold is burnt, cut and rubbed, Examine my words carefully and Do not accept them simply out of respect
Gautama BuddhaTo share happiness, and to have done something good before leaving this life is sweet.
Gautama BuddhaDo not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Gautama Buddha
