Wesak - Remember The Buddha Teaching

Happy Wesak

Remember one of the first Buddha saying or quotes as shown below


The Buddha said:


Do not believe in anything (simply) because you have heard it.

Do not believe in tradition because they have been handed down for many generations.

Do not believe in anything because it is spoken and rumoured by many.

Do not believe in anything (simply) it is found written in your religious books.

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 conducive to the good and benefit of one and all then accept it and live up to it.

and another quote is

Life Is Uncertain but Death is Certain.
