Orthodoxy

The Four Reliances

First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words;
Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher;
Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation;
And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.

~The Buddha

One of my favorite sayings is, "Anyone can learn from a good teacher. The trick is to learn from a bad one." I thought I'd made that up. It seems that the Buddha thought of it first, and said it better.

Way to go Buddha!
