"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."
-Buddha

I just used this quote in my latest work: good vibrations by ~eggrole on deviantART
eggrole1 Reviewed by eggrole1 on . Alan Watts - You're Going to Believe This Passasge on the Divided Mind: As the Philospher tries to stand outside himself and his thoughts, so, as we have seen, the oridinary man tries to stand outside himself and his emotions and sensations, his feelings and desires. The result is a fantastic confusion and misdirection of conduct which discovery of the mind's unity must bring to an end. By Alan Watts anyone got any other great (philosphical) quotes? Rating: 5
