Top 10 Things Not To Do From Mr. G (aka the Buddha)

1) Don't believe anything simply because you've been listening to it for a long time;
2) Don't accept traditions simply because generations of people have been doing that way;
3) Don't believe gossips easily;
4) Don't affirm anything simply because it goes well with your beliefs or thoughts;
5) Don't rely on theoretical inference alone;
6) Don't affirm anything simply based on what you see or hear;
7) Don't simply look at things as they appear;
8) Don't insist on any of your favorite opinions or thinking;
9) Don't believe anything simply because it's possible;
10) Don't accept any ideas of your master simply out of your admiration or reverence for him/her.
