How to believe something!
- Thread starter ela_eluwa120

Do 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.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
-Gautama Buddha-

මෙන්න නියම ආගමික නිදහස.
මිනිසා සතු ශක්තියටත් බුද්ධියටත් නියම ගරුත්වය.
අන්ධ විශ්වාසයේ සහ අවබෝධයෙන් ඇති කර ගන්නා ශ්රද්ධාවේ වෙනස.
yeah
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
මෙහෙම කළොත් අපායෙ යන්න වෙනව කියලනෙ සමහර ආගම් වල උගන්වන්නෙ. හේතුව, මෙහෙම නිදහසක් දුන්නනම් මිනිස්සු සත්යය දැකල පොත අතාරිනව.එහෙම වුණොත් ආගමික බිස්නස් එකට පාඩුයි.
exactly...budu hamuduruwo keewane unwahanse keewath kisdeyak wishwasa karan epa kiyala....apima nuwanin awabodha karaganna oni...
Kalama Sutta
The Buddha said so in the Kalama Sutta. All must read it again and again, understand it and follow it.
This is true freedom of thought in its noblest form. Don't believe in anything just because the Buddha Himself said so or teachers, parents, elders or scriptures said so. Use your own brain ( if only you have one).
Don't believe in anything on mere faith.
No other founder of any religion has ever taught this kind of thing.

ela_eluwa120,
I have mentioned Kalama Sutta in a different thread, but did not go into details.
I am thankful to you for highlighting it.

BTW, a Swedish guy addressed me as senator sometime ago because he could not pronounce my correct name. Ever since then, I have been using this username in all forums.
