According to Buddha
I do not see any reason to spend one’s whole life tasting just one kind of fruit. We human beings can be nourished by the best values of many traditions.
i dare you to close your eyes
and see all the colours in disguise
running into the night
the earth is shaking and i see a light
the light is blinding my eyes
as the soft walls eat us alive

according to Buddha
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.
playing either believing or doubting games seems necessarily troubling…
