Who Do We Trust?

Trust: belief in someone or something: acceptance of the truth of a statement without evidence or investigation.

So trust is synonymous with belief. In this world, we accept a situation because others do, reassigning responsibility for our life to others. Even the Buddha said, “Do not trust my words; test them for yourself.” 

Just calling yourself Buddhist is a sham. Buddhism is about knowing, not believing and following. The only thing we can trust is the proof of our experience; it’s definitely not about relying on others for proof.

Unless insight is present, 
words are just words to sound wise.
