There are 10 kinds of people in the world:
Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Do not believe
Rely not on the teacher, but the teaching.
Rely not on the words of the teaching, but on the Spirit of the words.
Rely not on theory, but on experience.
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in tra***ions because they have been handed down for many generations.
Do not believe in anything because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
But, after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conductive to the good and the benefit of one and all...
Then accept it and live up to it.
