It's pretty sad knowing that nowadays most people tend to judge and impose their ideas about the Truth, without knowing that the Truth, the Truth itself , is unbiased, peaceful, transcends all differences, and it's simply the Truth...
Regarding this, I wanna share one of our Teacher's quotes and advices which are written in this beautiful Sutta:
May this advice help us to find out what is the true Truth... =)
Kalama Sutta
Do not simply believe what you hear just because you have heard it for a long time.
Do not follow tradition blindly merely because it has been practised in that way for many generations.
Do not be quick to listen to rumours
Do not confirm anything just because it agrees with your scriptures.
Do not foolishly make assumptions.
Do not abruptly draw conclusions by what you see and hear.
Do not be fooled by outward appearances.
Do not hold on tightly to any view or idea just because you are comfortable with it.
Do not accept as fact anything that you yourself find to be logical.
Do not be convinced of anything out of respect and deference to your spiritual teachers.
You should go beyond opinion and belief. You can rightly reject anything which when accepted, practised and perfected leads to more aversion, more craving and more delusion. They are not beneficial and are to be avoided.
Conversely, you can rightly accept anything which when accepted, practised and perfected leads to unconditional love, contentment and wisdom. These things allow you time and space to develop a happy and peaceful mind.
This should be our criteria on what is and what is not the truth, on what should be and what should not be the spritual practice.
The Buddha
May there be no more fighting, destructive debates, violence, chaos, etc. due to ideas about the Truth...
but instead may we shall keep on striving to realize the true Truth and become fully enlightened or whatsoever people name it.
The most important thing for a Truth seeker is that he or she be in complete harmony with the Truth itself...
bravo. so proud of you! thanks! :)
