I also don't believe blind faith is necessary.

There are so many ways to do as Lord Buddha said and test the teachings in our own lives. Really we only need to "prove" these things to ourselves.
If one finds a school that feels comfortable to them and does not understand things, then it is time to set them aside, not in a disbelief way, but in a way of needing to understand them through further study or experience. As well as getting help in understanding them from a teacher or elder in that tradition.

Not a direct quote, but Buddha did say not to take His teachings on blind faith, but to put them into practice and see the results for ourselves.


With Metta, Dave
