My feelings exactly (sorry for the repost):
"Rely not on the teacher/person, but on the teaching.
Rely not on the words of the teaching,
but on the spirit of the words.
Rely not on theory, but on experience.
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in traditions
because they have been handed down
for many generations by many.
Do not believe in anything because it is
written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything
merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
But after observation and analysis,
when you find that anything agrees with reason
and is conducive to the good
and the benefit of one and all,
then accept it and live up to it."
- the Buddha
