Quoted by Hien, his message to the AIM new-comer of dorm Rm. 202

Acceptance of Teachings

Buddha’s observations regarding the acceptance of teachings....

Rely on the message, not on the personality of the teacher.
Rely on the meaning, not just the words.
Rely on the real meaning, not just the provisional meaning.
Rely on your wisdom and insight, not just on your ordinary, judgmental mind.

Quoted by Jim Paredes (Writing on Air)
