"Do not believe a spiritual teaching just because: 1. it is repeatedly recited, 2. it is written in a scripture, 3. it was handed from guru to disciple, 4. everyone around you believes it, 5. it has supernatural qualities, 6. it fits my beliefs anyway, 7. it sounds rational to me, 8. it is taught by a respectable person, 9. it was said to be the truth by the teacher, 10. one must defend it or fight for it. However, only when it agrees with your experience and reason, and when it is conducive to the good and gain of oneself and all others, then one should accept the teachings, and live up to them."Or, as the Buddha taught:"My teaching is not a philosophy. It is the result of direct experience... My teaching is a means of practice, not something to hold onto or worship. My teaching is like a raft used to cross the river. Only a fool would carry the raft around after he had already reached the other shore of liberation."
the Four Reliances:Rely on the teaching, not on the person; Rely on the meaning, not on the words; Rely on the definitive meaning, not on the provisional; Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary mind.
