Buddha [Siddhartha Gautama] (?563-?483 B.C.E.) Indian
mystic and founder of Buddhism:
“Doubt everything. Find your own light.”
His final words according to the Theravada tradition,
quoted from Robert Anton Wilson, Natural Law
“Believe nothing, O monks, merely because you
have been told it ... or because it is traditional, or
because you yourselves have imagined it. Do not
believe what your teacher tells you merely out of
respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due
examination and analysis, you find to be conducive to
the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings --
that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as
your guide.” (attributed: source unknown)
