Kalama Sutta: Do not simply belief anything

Sometimes in our life, we can not simply belief anything because it can later becomes false. In Kalama Sutta Buddha stated clearly that:

 Do not go upon what has been acquired by repeated hearing, nor upon tradition,

• nor upon rumor,
• nor upon what is in a scripture,
• nor upon surmise,
• nor upon an axiom,
• nor upon specious reasoning,
• nor upon a bias towards a notion that has been pondered over,
• nor upon another's seeming ability,
• nor upon the consideration, "The monk is our teacher."
• Kalamas, when you yourselves know: "These things are good; these things are not blamable; these things are praised by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things lead to benefit and happiness," enter on and abide in them.'
