Wishing everyone a peaceful and safe Wesak. May all Beings be Well and Happy always.
I also take refuge in the words of the Buddha to be your own guide. Take refuge in your own reason. Do not listen to the advice of others. Do not succumb to others. Be truthful and take refuge in the truth. Never surrender to anything. If you keep in mind this message of Lord Buddha at this juncture, I am sure, your decision will not be wrong. (Babasaheb Ambedkar in 1936 at Dadar Mumbai)

Lord Buddha’s message:
Believe nothing
Merely because you have been told it
Or because it is traditional
Or because you yourself imagined it
Do not believe what you teacher tell you
Merely out of respect for the teacher
But whatever, after due examination and analysis
Your find to be conducive to the good.
