' Belief After Investigation '...

To believe straight away is foolishness,, to believe after having seen clearly is good sense.. That is the Buddhist policy in belief;, not to believe stupidly,, or to rely only on people,, textbooks,, conjecture,, reasoning,, or whatever the majority believes,, but rather to believe what we see clearly for ourselves to be the case.. This is how it is in Buddhism. ....................... Buddhadasa
