Buddha say (2)

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

Nana's comment: Be critical to whatever you see and hear. Be analytical to find the truth that is proper to your own common sense. Be intelligent.

Keimanan kita hendaklah digandingkan dengan istiqamah. Yang dimaksudkan
dengan istiqamah di sini ialah tetap teguh (konsisten) mematuhi
suruhan-suruhan Allah s.w.t. sebagaimana firman Allah s.w.t. dalam surah
Hud, ayat 112 yang bermaksud: ''Maka tetaplah kamu pada jalan yang benar,
sebagaimana diperintahkan kepadamu...''

Agama Islam mengajar kita supaya beriman, bertakwa dan beristiqamah. Apabila
sifat-sifat ini ada dalam diri manusia, maka akan terpancarlah tingkah laku
dan tindak tanduk yang luhur daripada insan Muslim.
