"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense" -Buddha

Buddha was such a rebel rouser!  Could you imagine the Pope saying this to his followers?  Or Billy Graham?

Buddha spent 45 years wandering and teaching.  And when it was all said and done he tells people not to believe the teaching because of he spoke them, but to put his teachings into practice and attain your own beliefs. 

True ownership of thought gives rise to personal accountability for action.
