"Believe nothing
Merely because you have been told it
Or because it is traditional
Or because you yourself have imagined it.
Do not believe what your teacher tells you
Merely out of respect for the teacher
But whatever after due examination and analysis
You find it conducive to the good, the benefit
The well-being of all things
That doctrine believe and cling to
And take it as your guide."
Buddha
(3rd century BC)
From Utasan Konsumer (Consumer Association of Penang)
The Association of Radical Midwives does not support any one set of religious beliefs over another. This quote is offered as inspirational literature, and as an endorsement of evidence-based practice over traditional dogma!
